Bayern v Lens Player by player analysis

[beemay (雪恥)]

          14.11.2002 |  Ottmar Hitzfeld had declared Bayern's
          last Champions' League outing as an opportunity for
          the club's second string - and it was the players
          more usually accustomed to a reserve role who turned
          on the style in an exciting 3-3 draw with RC Lens.
          Midfielder Niko Kovac stood out on the night, along
          with two up and coming young hopefuls, Markus Feulner
          and 18 year-old debutant Bastian Schweinsteiger.


          Stefan Wessels:
          
          You had to feel a trace of pity for the 23 year-old,
          twiddled his thumbs for the first 20 minutes - and then
          conceding an own goal. Could do nothing about all three
          Lens strikes, otherwise a solid performance.

          Bixente Lizarazu:

          Continued progress back to his best form. The Lens game
          was another step forward, defensively excellent, although
          his single mistake led to the first goal. A little wayward
          in his shooting.

          Robert Kovac:

          Improving with every game after a disastrous dip in form.
          Avoided the mistakes which have spoiled his central defensive
          performances recently.

          Thomas Linke:

          The veteran looked as solid as usual for long periods,
          excellent in the air and good positioning as always.

          Hasan Salihamidzic:

          "Brazzo" took over the right side of the back four, and
          quickly settled in to his new duties. Unsurprisingly looked
          at his best going forward, worked well together with Markus
          Feulner, and got on the scoresheet after 18 minutes thanks
          to Lens keeper Warmuz' catastrophic error. Lost concentration
          at the end to let in Blanchard for the equaliser.

          Thorsten Fink:

          A game to forget for the veteran hard man. Never got to grips
          with the situation in defensive midfield, "crowned" his
          performance with a 20th minute own goal.

          Niko Kovac:

          The Croatian has waited a long time for a first-team opportunity,
          and seized it with both hands: on just six minutes, twisted and
          turned his way around two defenders before driving home
          brilliantly to put his side in the lead. Lively throughout
          and made his mark on the match. One of Bayern's best on the
          night.


          Mehmet Scholl:

          Captain for the night in the absence of Oliver Kahn and Giovane
          Elber. Typically precise free-kicks and corners, decent passing
          and some pleasing trickery. Went off after 70 good minutes.

          Marcus Feulner:

          A young man who came of age. Filled the inside right position
          with constant vigour, showed no respect for the French side's
          experienced defensive line, exuded confidence and the ability
          to surprise. Caused the visitors no end of trouble down the
          right hand side, crowned a super display with his first
          professional goal on 87 minutes. What a day for the youngster:
          the crowd chanted his name as he left the field in the last
          minute.

          Alexander Zickler:

          The Germany international was out of luck, looking a yard slow
          and a shade imprecise in his lay offs. But won plenty in the air,
          without ever looking like scoring.

          Claudio Pizarro:
 
          The Peruvian tried his best in a classic centre-forward
          position, but squandered a fine chance after 18 minutes.
          Sustained a thigh injury in a collision and left the
          action at half-time.

          Giovane Elber:

          Replaced Pizarro at half-time, unleashed a mighty 25 metre
          drive against the post just five minutes later. Unlucky in
          time added on with a delicate lob.

          Bastian Schweinsteiger:

          The kind of display that will be talked about for years.
          The 18 year-old made his professional debut with 20 minutes
          remaining, showed no trace of nerves and played a couple of
          super through balls. Then capped the lot with a brilliant
          solo build up for Feulner's goal.

          Philip Lahm:

          Another young hopeful, will be able to tell his grandchildren
          he made his professional debut in the Champions' League
