The former professional Jean-Pierre Papin does not surprise the current weakness phase of his ex-club FC Bayern.

• “No sensation” at FC Bayern vs. RB Salzburg?
• FC Bayern: Alexander Nübel “with two World Class Parades”

“That FC Bayern is weakening in February / March, a tradition is now a tradition. This is almost every year the case. That was already when I was still on goals in Munich. Maybe there is a kind of negligence at the players in the subconscious mind”, Papin said in an interview with “Alexander Nübel1”.

The 58-year-old Frenchman, who laced his football boots at the German record champion between 1994 and 1996, supplemented: “But I know that the Munich in the months of April and May – the most important in the season – again fulfill the expectations and playfully a lot become more stable. “

“No sensation” at FC Bayern vs. RB Salzburg?

“I am sure that we will not experience a sensation. Although Salzburg will surely sell well, Bayern will show her best face. When it matters, you are always there,” Papin said.

Upamecano must “only come in the rhythm and always play to better exploit his potential and show more constancy. If he is sitting outside again and again, he loses his self-confidence. You can not drop him, even if he believes me : He is a grenade. “
