Bayern unhappy with opponents’ rough style in Bundesliga

Bayern Munich want more protection from referees. “It can’t go on like this. Otherwise, we won’t have any players after the 10th round or we won’t be able to get 11 players together,” Rummenigge said ahead of Saturday’s Bundesliga match against Schalke in Gelsenkirchen. Bayern already lost French winger Kingsley Coman to injury in its first home game of the season, after which Rummenigge accused Hoffenheim of playing “football in a wild-west manner.” Bayern coach Niko Kovac said his side was “fair game” for others to target with hard challenges. It was different when Kovac was in charge of Eintracht Frankfurt from March 8, 2016, to June 30, 2018. No side committed more fouls per game (15.4) than Frankfurt in that time.
