Ryan Gravenberch placed sixth in the Kopa Trophy contest. The Dutchman has not yet become really happy at Bayern. The 20-year-old also spent 90 minutes on the bench against SC Freiburg.

In the past seven Bundesliga games, Ryan Gravenberch has only played 46 minutes. The Dutch international has never been in the starting XI. From the start, the 20-year-old was only allowed to play in the 5-0 victories in the Champions League against Viktoria Pilsen and in the DFB Cup at Viktoria Köln.

So it's logical that Gravenberch isn't happy with his current situation. "The situation is not easy for me, of course I want to play," he told AZ: "But I have to be patient."

According to information from the AZ, the defensive work is the sticking point, why Gravenberch is currently not getting a chance. An example: in the 4-2 win in the premier class at Viktoria Pilsen, Niederländer came on for Leon Goretzka when the score was 4-0. After his substitution, the central midfield no longer seemed so stable and the Czechs scored two more goals.

Above all, defensive reliability, tactical discipline and recapturing the ball are points where the newcomer from Ajax Amsterdam still needs to improve.
