Bayern Munich starts strongly: Clear 4-0 dominance in the DFB Cup

The DFB Cup is a prestigious challenge for many football clubs, which also offers the opportunity to prove itself against stronger opponents. This year, FC Bayern Munich, under the direction of coach Vincent Kompany, managed a convincing start to the tournament. With a clear 4-0 win against SSV Ulm, a second division club, the record champion impressively demonstrated his ambitions.

a comet start

The outcome was already decided within the first 15 minutes of the game. Thomas Müller, who has often been a rock in the surf in the past, distinguished himself twice and brought Bayern in the lead early. His goals in the 12th and 15th minute quickly made it clear that the SSV Ulm would have no chance here on this day. Bavaria dominated the first phases of the game with a possession of over 80 percent and left no doubt about the course of the game.

A look at the player line -up

The absence of Leon Goretzka, who was not in the squad, caused some discussions among fans: Who takes the place of the former national player? Ultimately, coach Kompany decided to first focus on the players who were already part of the team. New acquisitions such as Joao Palhinha, Michael Olise or the Australian talent smith Irankunda first had to be patient.

Company influences have an effect

Thomas Müller expressed enthusiastic about the tactics and philosophy of coach Kompany after the game: "I have already expected something and we are on the right track." The players show high motivation and are ready to meet the new requirements. "The mentality can be perfect," admitted Kompany and was satisfied with the attitude of his team.

a fixed foundation in defense

Although the SSV Ulm was rarely dangerous in the second half, Bayern defense played stable and gave little chance. Manuel Neuer was only seriously challenged, which underlines the dominant performance of Munich. The change from Kingsley Coman and Harry Kane brought fresh wind to the offensive series and provided the decisive goals for 3: 0 and finally 4: 0.

summary and outlook

Overall, FC Bayern Munich showed a consistently solid performance that gives both fans and the club management hope of a successful season. The impressive result against SSV Ulm is not only a confirmation of the skill level, but could also lay the foundation for the upcoming challenges in the DFB Cup and in the Bundesliga. The next few weeks should be interesting if the team continues to refine the newly won playing style and compete against stronger competitors.
