As BILD learned, the people of Munich will not, as usual, arrive the day before, as usual, but only on the day of the match. After the secret final training on Thursday afternoon, we depart from the private airport in Oberpfaffenhofen towards North Rhine-Westphalia on Friday afternoon.
The background to the unusual Bundesliga arrival, which has recently happened again and again in the DFB Cup, is the scheduling of the Cologne game!
Since most of coach Thomas Tuchel’s (50) stars have just had a ten-day international break, this is intended to prevent the team from having to spend two nights in the hotel again. A journey home after the 90 minutes in Cologne is ultimately no longer possible due to the late time on Friday evening.
The coach also has a second session with the entire team on Säbener Straße. Because before departure on Friday there is another activation with the team.

Even before the international break, Tuchel had criticized the scheduling of the duel and, among other things, complained sarcastically: “This is of course a sensational schedule for FC Bayern Munich.”
Even if the decision is understandable, it brings back bad memories!
Because some of the games that the record champions recently attended on match day ended in a debacle. The most recent and most dramatic example is the embarrassing cup exit at the beginning of November against third division team Saarbrücken (1:2). The embarrassing cup defeats in 2021/22 in Gladbach (5:0) and in 2020/21 at second division club Kiel (5:6 on penalties) were also preceded by exceptionally close journeys.

There are also counter-examples with the first round victories this season at Preußen Münster (4:0) and the 5:0 last season at Viktoria Köln.
The embarrassments in Saarbrücken, Gladbach and Kiel still read like a warning to Bayern to sharpen their senses after Friday’s trip to Cologne in order to avoid being 17th in the table. to experience a nasty surprise.

At the same time, those responsible have to hope for a smooth journey due to the tight schedule. When it comes to match day travel, any delay can disrupt the usual process that is important for the players to be prepared as best as possible.
The club will therefore always keep an eye on the weather. After all, the first snow is forecast for Friday in Munich…
