On July 25, 2021, FC Bayern arrived in a test match against Ajax Amsterdam. In the starting element, Joshua Zirkzee, who had just returned from an extremely disappointing lean and wanted to recommend for a place in the Munich squad. As the offensive talent a return pass briefly before the pauses swell, the leather thoughtfully conquered and Keeper Remko Pasveer sent to the emptiness with a body deceit in the emptiness, Zirkzee's project seemed almost to go up - then everything came completely different.

At most five meters from the empty Ajax box, the Dutchman suddenly took the whole pace from his actions, trotting outrageously casual and instrumental arrogant towards goal line and got the receipt in the form of a hosted grid of defender Perr Schuurs, who did not want to accept the goal again for a long time And prevented the safely believed hits so much.

Coach Hansi Flick finally counted the mentality and the will of the Youngster, Flicks successor Julian Nagelsmann, who was already in the starting blocks, added "RTL": "In a Bundesliga game he will hopefully show a bit more seriousness in the scene, I think I do not have to talk to him now, he will know that myself. "

However, deeper traces left the reactions of the social media community. The verbal attacks that Zirkzee had to go over, not rarely went far below the belt line, on Instagram it should only be gulf under the posts of the Junior National Player.

Zirkzee reacted dramatically, deleted all the photos and videos in the evening after the game and blackened his profile picture. That the attacker was a little later to another rental station, the RSC Anderlecht, surprised - let alone disappointed - later barely a follower of Bayern.

Half a year later, Tristesse on the Instagram account of Zirkzee can no longer be the speech. The blackened profile picture is a pleasure piste, cheering you see the 20-year-olds on most of his posts. A circumstance that impressively demonstrates that Zirkzee has found in Belgium back into the track.

29 Games completed the right foot to date for his borrowed club, with twelve hits and eight templates, with ex-BVB Talent Sergio Gómez (5 Goals / 11 Templates) top scorer of the table-four.

There are also seven goals and two templates in five games for the Dutch U21, which he last led as captain on the lawn. Makes 2020/21 a door participation every 78 minutes.

Zirkzee's balance is also a finger tie towards FC Bayern, especially since the striker emphasized "Voetbal International": "The chapter Bayern Munich is not yet completed."

That Zirkzee after his return to the season 2022/23 at his successful start in Munich, when he can build in his first nine most very short Bundesliga inserts with four goals and a template also incredibly effective, at least the Dutch ex-national player trusts Willem Van Hanegem Zirkzee too.

The talent has everything, "to enforce with a top club," said the 77-year-old "Het Laatste Nieuws". At FC Bayern, however, it could be "difficult for him".

Similarly, "image" reporter David assesses the situation. Thus, Zirkzee will get another probation chance in the summer in the summer. However, if a prospective customer thrives five to ten million euros in the ring, a separation is also possible. A sum, which, however, excludes a whereabout in Anderlecht.

At FC Bayern, Zirkzee (Treaty by 2023) would have to prove that he is a better option as the reliable routine Eric Maxim Choupo-Motating as a backup for Robert Lewandowski. Should this succeed, the Munich should give him a real chance. Especially since Zirkzee with 20 years still has an increase in increased potential. However, a look into the past should spoil doubts.

After following the initial euphoria, the disillusionment followed, Zirkzee should collect in the second round 2020/21 game practice at the FC Parma, but did not get a leg on the ground on the series A-Club. Should it come to return to Munich, on the other hand, Zirkzee must probably deliver immediately.
