It has to hurt him twice and three times: For the first time in 16 games FC Bayern Munich loses in the Bundesliga a match against Eintracht Frankfurt. And not short, but clearly with 1: 5. And then, of all places, in Frankfurt, where Niko Kovac made a name for himself as a coach in just two years, where club officials, players and fans valued and in part venerated him for his work and his manner.
Kovac has often complained of a lack of appreciation in Munich over the last year and a half. Now, even malice and ridicule will come to it. Five goals conceded - even if Jerome Boateng was dismissed after ten minutes - not acceptable for the German record champions. Losing one is something else to be demonstrated.

Playful has improved after the near-knockout in the DFB Cup in the week against second division VfL Bochum, on the contrary: Best man on the court was goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Before the foul of Boateng and the resulting dismissal in the tenth minute just before his own penalty area was an unnecessary loss of ball in the penalty area on the other side ahead. Too many simple mistakes are made by the star ensemble - generally this season, especially in Frankfurt today.

Most recently, Kovac had criticized the attitude of his players. He called for more use in the duels. And the pros should be there from the beginning. Even today, the team has implemented nothing of it. The question arises as to whether Kovac permeates his players at all? The table position - fourth place - is not crucial on the tenth game, however, the way of playing already, as well as the signal effect that emanates from the highest Bundesliga defeat Bayern for ten years.
In a monotonous, low voice, Kovac answered after the game on the Sky microphone to the question whether he still felt the support of those responsible. "Those who decide need to be asked, my feeling is not important." The outgoing Bayern President Uli Hoeneß, however, is known to feel especially important.
