Bayern Munich players struggle to find form

The German national team needs a strong block from Bayern Munich to be successful at major tournaments. But currently, Bayern players like Manuel Neuer and Joshua Kimmich are struggling to find their top form.

What's wrong with the DFB stars of Bayern Munich?

The reasons for these difficulties are different. Manuel Neuer, the 2014 World Cup winner, had been in top form for Bayern in the second half of the season, but at the World Cup, he has not yet made a significant impact.

Bayern Munich's defense chief is struggling

Jonathan Tah, the defense chief of Bayern and the national team, is not showing the same stability at the World Cup that made him a regular starter for the club. After the injury of Nico Schlotterbeck, he got a new partner in Antonio Rüdiger and moved from the right to the left center-back position.

Kimmich misses Pavlovic by his side

Joshua Kimmich is playing in his first tournament as DFB captain on the unpopular right-back position, where he can't influence the game as much as he can in Bayern's midfield. Aleksandar Pavlovic, his partner in Bayern's midfield duo, is not playing for the national team.
