Uli Hoeneß criticizes lengthy international break's impact on Bayern Munich
Summary

Uli Hoeneß expressed strong criticism regarding the recent 16-day international break before Bayern Munich's match against Augsburg. He stated that the extended break disrupted the team's rhythm, as 18 players traveled for UEFA Nations League matches. Bayern, coming off a dominant 7-0 victory over Union Berlin, struggled to find form in the 2-2 draw against Augsburg. The team now prepares for a Champions League match against Viking FK, followed by a Bundesliga clash with RB Leipzig. Hoeneß labeled the international breaks a 'disaster' for clubs forced to manage player fatigue and injuries due to increased travel.
