Nagelsman: "I don’t know what awaits me, but I’m not scared"

Without inspiration, with their tired stars, without the capacity definition they are used to, Bayern were left in the Champions League on Tuesday, where Villarreal eliminated them by Unai Emery 1-1, after a ‘groguet’ that success. Julian Nagelsmann, coach of the Munich team, said he was not “afraid” of the future, although he had to start again because he knew he would not be able to spend as much as other football giants in Europe.

“I don’t know what awaits me, but I’m not afraid. There are worse ones. But it’s my fault, not my players”, the words of a visibly affected Nagelsmann after the 1-1 mean of Bayern’s farewell to the Champions League.

In his first season in charge of Bayern, Nagelsmann, 34, did not miss the quarterfinals in the Champions League. Unexpectedly, the Yellow Submarine left him in the semifinals in a season in which, although on the 23rd he could now sing the ballot in the Bundesliga, it became irregular.

According to the daily Bild, the pressure on Nagelsmann “is going to be overwhelming.” And, for Kicker magazine, the young ex-Leipzig coach “provided help to Bayern, but inherited a weaker group after the departures of David Alaba and Jérôme Boateng last summer, as well as Thiago, Ivan Perisic and Philippe Coutinho dati “.

Nagelsmann recalled that “we were eliminated in the Champions League and the German Cup, the same balance last season, was not enough for Bayern.” Hansi Flick, the current coach of Germany, managed the Munich team last season, where they re -established the Bundesliga.

Now Bayern are close to their tenth consecutive Bundesliga, but, after saying goodbye to the Champions League, there will once again be the feeling that the team has not fulfilled its expectations and ambitions.
