The German football world was startled. Holstein Kiel appeared in front of Bayern Munich, which seemed to have no enemies, and took the DFB Focal Round of 16 tickets. The atmosphere of Bavaria, who lost in the kill and penalty shootout and missed the focal, is clearly visible. Such an opportunity came for them to laugh. It is the 16th round of the league where the top rank loses or draws.

Is Bayern a little out of shock now? They lost on a penalty shoot-out in the second round of the 2020-21 Fokal held at Kiel’s Holstein Stadion on the evening of the 13th (local time). Bayern, whose goal for this season was also a treble, couldn’t even go to the Fokal 16.
Inevitably, we have to focus on the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League. In fact, it’s not too overwhelming in the league. Barely ranked first. In the last 15 rounds against Borussia Monchengladbach, he scored two goals and scored three goals, losing to the opposite side.
After round 15, Bayern scored 33 points. There is not much difference in points with other top teams. Leipzig in second place has 32 points, Leverkusen in third place and Dortmund in fourth place each have 29 points. Leverkusen is in third place ahead of the gains and losses.
Fortunately, they have already played round 16. I wanted to get 3 points from Bayern’s staggering, but they all lost or drew. Dortmund drew 1-1 with Mainz, Leipzig drew 2-2 with Wolfsburg, and Leverkusen lost 0-1 to Union Berlin.
All attention is now on Bayern’s 16th round. On the afternoon of the 17th, he faces Freiburg at the Allianz Arena. Not an easy opponent. Recently, he won 3-1 against Hoffenheim and 5-0 against Cologne. I will do my best to defeat Bayern, who has been physically exhausted from going to Kiel.

Bavaria can’t just retreat. Since he recently recorded two consecutive losses, a victory against Freiburg is essential to change the mood. Above all, it is an opportunity to widen the difference between the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place teams. Coach Hans-Dieter Flick’s leadership is more important than ever in order to effectively utilize the weakened Bayern players. The confrontation between Bayern and Freiburg will take place on the afternoon of the 17th.
