Julian Nagelsmann came to the press conference in preparation for the cracker in the Bundesliga between Bayern Munich and Union Berlin with good news for Matthijs de Ligt and Daley Blind. The trainer of The Record Master is considering a central duo of which both former Ajax players are part.
De Ligt is a regular part of the central duo at Bayern and often plays alongside Dayot Upamecano. However, the Frenchman has to watch due to a suspension, so the question arises whether Blind is a good option to play next to his compatriot. “We have already played next to each other with Daley and Matthijs”, Nagelsmann explained. “Daley always finds the solution, even in a small space, and Matthijs likes to defend with his strong character. It will certainly happen that we see those two side by side on the field.”
Whether the former Ajax duo can compete against Union remains the question. Nagelsmann knows that his team will have a hard time against The Eisners, who knocked Ajax out of the Europa League on Thursday evening. “They had a tough match (against Ajax, ed.), but they are used to the tough program and you don’t get tired of countering so quickly. They will also do countering against us on Sunday, so it will be unpleasant to play against them. to play.”
Bayern will defend the lead against Union on Sunday. The formation from Munich is the leader with 43 points, but Dortmund is in second place with the same number of points and Union also has 43 points. The club from Berlin is third on the basis of goal difference, but can therefore take the lead with a victory. Dortmund will play an away game at Hoffenheim on Saturday afternoon and hopes to benefit from the fact that the competition will come out against each other.
