Chapter 53: First Bundesliga match in the new season
Before the matches and everything starts Flick starts to motivate everyone. This has a huge impact as the key to reaching the ceiling of football is talent, but the key to keeping it is mentality and morale.
After he motivated us and let us reach full morale we started walking into the catacombs.
...
"Today we will witness Bayern start this new season. They will play against Hertha Berlin today.
We can watch some surprising things in this first Bayern match under Hansi Flick."
"Yes, we can see that they are playing in a 4-1-3-2 formation with young talent Maximilian Meyer back in the starting squad. Let us hope that he will return back to his usual form after what happened in the summer. He is the new NR.10 of Bayern. This shows the trust he gets of them. Especially from Flick, which you can see in him playing as a striker."
"And if I trust my eye I can see him having a new look."
...
"The match starts and we can see Bayern attacking."
...
"Kimmich with a long ball to Coman. Coman passes the ball more forward to the faster Meyer. Meyer accelerates and is now on the top of the penalty area. He makes a Ronaldo chop and shoots with a finesse. NO CHANCE FOR JARSTEIN(GK).
1:0 for Bayern due to a very beautiful goal from the young Meyer.
Seems like he can still play as a striker. He will be a good option for the German National Team in the future."
...
"Lewandowski with a pass to Gnabry on the sidelines. Gnabry runs in and passes the ball towards the middle. Meyer slides the ball into the goal with a tackle. 2:0 for Bayern in the 31st minute. Bayern are dominating this game so far."
...
"Bayern still tries to shoot more goals but doesn't find a way through the penalty area. Kimmich passes to Meyer. Lewandowski runs, Meyer sees it, and Lewandowski shoots. 3:0 for Bayern. Good vision from Meyer and a good finish from Lewandowski."
...
"It is halftime now and Bayern dominates the game with a 3:0 lead. We can see Bayern's first tactics here. They are attacking with 7 to 8 people as whole. The two fullbacks Davies and Pavard are attacking and Kimmich the CM is retreating back to form a 3 person defence with the two Center Backs. A very offensive and interesting concept. Another thing in the offensive of Bayern is that the young Maximilian Meyer is the more dominant one on the striker side. This is a surprise on personal side, but I think no huge surprise on the tactical side. With his skills and speed he can open huge space for the team and fits perfectly in with Davies, Gnabry, Coman and a few other speed-type players. All in all a very good Bayern team in this first half. At least I think so."
...
"Now the second half begins"
...
"Kimmich with a high-pass to Gnabry. Gnabry cuts in and shoots. 4:0 for Bayern. With 60 minutes played Bayern leads 4:0. They are playing very good today."
...
"Stark(CB) passes, OH HUGE MISTAKE! MEYER INTERCEPTS THE BALL WITH A TACKLE AND IS SPRINTING TO HERTHAS GOAL. He is now in a 1vs1 against Herthas goalkeeper. He shoots, no he tricked the goalkeeper. Now he passes the ball into the empty goal. Did I see this right, Frank? Did he just use Ronaldo Nazarios famous feint?"
"Yes Ulli, I also think so. I still remember Ronaldo using it a few times. Seems like it."
"Anyway, the sloppy mistake from Hertha led to the 5:0. Meyer with 3 goals and one assist in this game so far. This is his first Hattrick in his career. Even though this is his first game as a striker, he doesn't seem to need to adapt to it."
...
"Now the game ends and Bayern won the game with a 6:0 through a header from Müller after a cross from Coman. All in all a very dominating game from Bayern. They didn't give Hertha any chance to breathe and won a huge victory.
Now we can see Meyer collecting his ball for his first Hattrick."
...
Excitement and happiness are the only things that can describe my feelings at the moment. I did my first step to fulfilling my parents last wish.
After receiving the ball and thanking the Bayern fans for being there I did something.
I shot the ball into the sky. Up to Bayerns huge roof. It was for my parents to see me fulfilling their wish. They should see how good I was by seeing the ball on every stadiums roof when they look down from heaven. This was my goal. I wanted to shoot the balls from as many matches as possible to the roof of every stadium to let my parents know where I was and how I dominated everyone everywhere. This was for them.
What I didn't know was that the Bayern presidency who saw this decided to install the football on top of the stadium. With the complete installment it wouldn't fall off, even if it snows or rains.
When I shot a ball onto the roof in the arena this would be a common tradition in the future. But I didn't know this at that point.
