"We also need to concede fewer chances, meaning fewer corners, fewer free kicks, fewer throw-ins. We definitely need to improve on that so we don't go behind so often."
"We often had a big lead at halftime at the beginning of the season. We haven't managed that so much now. In the future, we need to play in a way that allows us to decide games earlier. If you don't decide games, they simply remain open. Then anything is possible in football - either through a set piece, a long ball, or a superb pass."
Bayern Munich remains undefeated in the league and has lost only once this season. The team increasingly concedes opening or avoidable goals, often from set pieces and by allowing too many corners, free kicks, and throw-ins. These defensive lapses leave Bayern trailing more frequently and reduce the ability to secure early leads. The squad also struggles to finish games early, unlike earlier in the campaign when halftime leads were common. Heavy player workloads and consecutive appearances are causing fatigue and reduced performance. Deciding matches sooner would allow earlier substitutions, more rest for key players, and better preparation for the season's business end.
