The first of many!
After being sidelined for the start of the Bundesliga with a bout of appendicitis, Tom Bischof has made his first start for Bayern Munich in the league and boy did he hit the ground running. The 20-year-old put on a mature display, anchoring the midfield and picking up an assist for Konrad Laimer’s 87th minute strike — Bayern’s fourth goal of the evening. Bischof silenced any previous doubt of where he will fit into Vincent Kompany’s starting eleven, and could even start pushing Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlović for a starting berth.
Bayern fans weren’t the only ones that were ecstatic to see Bischof start his first league game for Die Rekordmeister, the player himself was delighted.
“It was great. I’m very happy to make my first start here,” said Bischof after his impressive performance against Werder Bremen (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “The coach told me early [today] that I would start, but I noticed yesterday that I’d probably get my chance. It’s easy to play here because everyone is giving me good feedback and helping me. I’m enjoying it.”
Encouraging is just one word that could be used to describe Bayern’s midfield quality and depth. On the back of Goretzka’s resurgence, Pavlović’s return and Bischof’s strong start Kompany will be liking his options in the center of the park.
Bayern Munich was the home side in the Bundesliga on Friday when Werder Bremen came to town.
The Bavarians decimated the visitors 4-0 in a game that was never really close. Bayern Munich was relentless and dominant in every aspect of the match. It is not as if Werder Bremen did not try, but the players just could not match up with the machine that was Bayern Munich.
