Bayern won 27-0
Rottach-Egern is an amateur club and a familiar "blue army" of Bayern. In 2018, "Gray Lobster" crushed this opponent 20-2 and then won jubilantly 23-0 in a friendly match a year later. A similar situation took place in the confrontation at the Sportplatz Birkenmoos training center, in Tegernsee on July 18.
In the first pre-season friendly, coach Thomas Tuchel used a strong squad with a defense including goalkeeper Sven Ulreich and defenders Noussair Mazraoui, Dayot Upamecano, Benjamin Pavard, Alphonso Davies. Rookie Konrad Laimer made his debut as a midfield pairing with captain Joshua Kimmich, while the front line included Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala, Mathys Tel and Serge Gnabry. Defender Kim Min-jae did not play, but was on the field to watch live when the contract was announced a few hours before the ball hit.
In the second half, the German coach changed the entire squad with the remaining stars of the first team such as Leon Goretzka, Ryan Gravenberch, Sadio Mane, Marcel Sabitzer - who played in the second half of last season for Man Utd on loan, Kingsley Coman , Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting or rookie Raphael Guerreiro - defender recruited freely from Dortmund.
With outstanding class, Bayern led 18-0 in the first half and then scored nine more goals in the second half. In which, Musiala, Tel and Sabitzer scored five goals and Gnabry scored a hat-trick. Remaining, Coman, Davies, Sane, Upamencano, Mane, Laimer, Guerreiro, Gravenberch and Mazraoui all contributed a goal.
On July 23, Tuchel's teachers and students will start their European tour, when they will meet Man City on July 26, Kawasaki Frontale on July 29 in Tokyo, Japan and Liverpool on August 2 in Kallang, Singapore . "Gray Lobster" will complete the pre-season with a friendly match against Monaco in Unterhaching, Germany on August 7 and then play the German Super Cup match against Leipzig on August 12.
This summer, Bayern recruited Konrad Laimer (RB Leipzig), Raphael Guerreiro (Dortmund) as a free agent and signed a contract worth $ 55 million with Kim Min-jae. In the opposite direction, the Bundesliga champion sold Lucas Hernandez to PSG for a fee of $ 50 million.
