Nagelsmann criticises Zirkzee after shock miss

  /  autty

Bayern Munich striker Joshua Zirkzee missed an unbelievable chance to score in his side's 2-2 draw against Ajax in pre-season.

Zirkzee had taken the ball around goalkeeper Remko Pasveer and went to nonchalantly pass the ball into the net, but Ajax defender Perr Schuurs managed to get back and clear the ball from danger.

The Dutch forward looked perplexed as to how he'd somehow managed to squander such a big opportunity, and Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann had his say on the incident after the match.

"He simply didn't see the opponent behind him," said Nagelsmann.

"I think that in an official match, or at least I hope, he'd be a bit more serious in a situation like that.

"I'm not going to speak to him about this now. He knows he can do better than that."
