Harry Kane is probably missing from Bayern’s masterball
Modern data acquisition is a wonderful tool. Especially for losers. The winners do not need statistics. Anyone who wins is always right. Bo Henriksen was not one of the winners on Saturday afternoon. The coach of FSV Mainz had lost 0: 3 with his team. It was a game for the neutral observer that found a fair outcome through the zero -trimming. But Henriksen saw it differently. Not that his team deserved the victory, but 0: 3? The statistics really don’t give that. He argued with the so -called Expected Goals. So how many goals a team in all likelihood achieves from the goal opportunities they arose. Lo and behold, the man was right. The statistical value for Bavaria after the game was only 1.10 goals. The Mainz should have scored 0.67 hits. Of course, both are not so easy to do, which is why it could have been 1-1 with rounding up and rounding up. At least if you keep it with Henriksen.
He argued that it was almost impossible to in Munich to win. « Bavaria was very efficient today. If you do it that way, then every team loses here. » But FC Bayern doesn’t always do it. Especially in Milan you are happy about it. However, it was also not the case that the Munich team scored three goals from a chance, as the statistics may believe for some. The three goals through Leroy Sané, Michael Olise and Eric dier were also opposed to Sané’s post and so Serge Gnabry was hard to contradict when he said after the game: « We could have scored one or two more. » Football is also such a wonderful game because there can be two contrary opinions – which are true.
Michael Olise and Leroy Sané decide the game for FC Bayern
In a few days (or weeks) there will hardly be different opinions on whether FC Bayern deserves the championship of the 2024/25 season. The Munich team are the best team in the league and demonstrated this again in the 3-0 win against Mainz. The Leroy Sané and Michael Olise, which are wonderfully performing in highlights this time even forgot the pale Harry Kane. It was rather involuntarily remembered when he saw the yellow card shortly before the half -time break. The striker did not immediately give the ball after a foul from referee Bastian Dankert after a duel with the Mainz Jonathan Burkardt. And thanks took yellow. It was Kane’s fifth warning, which is why he will be missing in Leipzig next Saturday.
A break, the Kane annoys. After all, his team can already secure the championship with one point (extreme mathematical events, that is why Bo Henriksen can take care). « Unfortunately, people sometimes come to the Allianz Arena and try to make a name for themselves, » criticized Kane referee Dankert quite openly. The anger is understandable, of course, after all, the attacker has never been on the field with a title win. In fact, he has simply not won a single title. « It’s a bit of my story, » said Kane’s wide field of British humor.
But that too is only a border story on the way to the 34th championship for FC Bayern. It will be the last of Thomas Müller as a Munich player. Against Mainz he was on the pitch for the 500th time in a league game for the Munich. A milestone. But: « You don’t play for milestones. It’s about what you do on the pitch, » said the 35-year-old. On the square, his team shot the ball into the goal three times, the Mainz did not hit. This is also football: very simple.
