<b>Bayern reserve team’s 3. Liga season so far: taking stock</b>
The Bayern reserves have played their first 21 games in the 3. Liga. Time to look back and draw first conclusions about the players’and the team’s tactical development.The most emotional party FC Bayern celebrated in 2019 was possibly the promotion of their second team to the 3. Liga, Germany’s third division of professional football. So there it was, professional football for the reserves at last! Finally, there would be an appropriate basis for the development of Bayern’s youth academy talents from the Campus. Promotion had often been close, but had proved elusive until last year.Linked to this was an expectation that required a balancing act from Bayern: On the one hand, there was the wish that as many talents as possible from their own ranks should get the opportunity to gain experience in professional football. On the other hand, there was the club’s clear commitment that staying up was the top priority. Sebastian Hoeneß took over as coach at the beginning of the season, an appointment that was not met with universal acclaim. The biggest worry: In footballing terms, the U19 remained below their potential between 2017 and 2019 under his tutelage. In his first year, Hoeneß finished second in the U19 Bundesliga South/Southwest division, just behind TSG Hoffenheim. The following year, he only finished fourth, 14 points behind VfB Stuttgart. Results in youth football are not as significant as in professional football, but also on an individual level, positive development failed to materialise and many talents stagnated. With that in mind, after more than half a year and 21 matchdays it appears high time that we took a closer look at the development of the reserves. Which players have convinced? Who has disappointed? How has the team as a whole adapted to the higher level? And how satisfied can one be with the way the reserves have presented themselves so far?<a href="#the-reserves-among-the-pros-mixed-feelings"></a>The reserves among the pros: mixed feelingsHoeneß showed himself very satisfied with the development of his team during the winter break: “We are above the relegation zone in the table. […] The way we have presented ourselves is positive. We are a young team, we are courageous, we are quick, and we manage to express ourselves on the pitch.” He added, however, that there were two faces to his team and that the lack of consistency had cost them points occasionally.<a href="https://miasanrot.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/01/TSV-1860-Muenchen-v-Bayern-Muenchen-II-3.-Liga-1580154956-969x650-1.jpg">Media</a><strong>Sebastian Hoeneß is happy with the season so far.</strong>

With 38 goals scored, they also have the fourth most successful offensive in the league. However, only bottom dwellers Jena (47) have conceded more goals than Bayern (44).Looking at the season overall, it is clear that the league is not as strong as one might have expected. None of the teams has been able to steal a march on the others at the top, the level of competition seems fairly balanced and teams from the lower third of the table regularly cause the leading teams difficulties.<a href="#strong-against-top-teams-weaker-against-direct-competition"></a>Strong against top teams, weaker against direct competitionThe Bayern reserves are one of these lower third teams. Victories against Uerdingen (2x), Halle, Ingolstadt, Braunschweig and Magdeburg indicate that the team can hold their own against the bigger clubs in the league – at least on their day. Significant defeats were rare – 2-5 against Viktoria Cologne, 0-3 against Zwickau and 3-5 against Meppen.At the same time, however, their weak record against direct competitors from the lower half of the table is worrying.…
