Except monumental surprise in the Champions League, Bayern Munich this season has pulled in just 10 days. Not two weeks ago that imposing Bavarian champions by 0-1 to Inter Milan and Germanic press was full of praise Bayern. The media gave even more sensational to Munich as serious candidates for the treble (League, Champions League and even Pokal).
Three games later, the Bayern looks like a broken toy. Two titles have been gone and even the minimum target of reaching Champions League place in the Bundesliga at this stage seems complicated. Van Gaal was even about to be sacked this week and if it did not take place was because it was not had an alternative that would convince to the main floor of Bayern. Anyway, the Dutch will leave Munich at the end of the season, a year earlier than agreed in his contract.
What type of earthquake has passed through Munich? What are the causes of this crisis?
Let's start in chronological order:
After the game against Bayern facing Inter in the J24 the current leader of the Bundesliga, BVB Jürgen Klopp. Hoeneß again used the press in order to put pressure Borussia media. This tactic is well known in the Bundesliga and Bayern often make use of it in the crucial moments of competition. The Bavarian BVB doubted that could withstand the pressure and claimed that they were by far the best German team that would eventually win Bundesliga. Again, a tactic that is not unusual in Bayern. The Borussia silent.
But this time the shot I went to Bayern in the foot. The BVB of Klopp gave an overview of SIR Bayern Munich Van Gaal. No pressure, no press, no stories, Borussia gave a very high rate and the Bayern game and saw them coming (1-3). In addition, Klopp was able to find the method to block the attack of Bayern completely clog the bands, despite make more clear the center. With the aid of Bender, Sahin and interiors both Ribery and Robben were always two or three top players. In this very simple way Bayern drowned. Without an alternative plan, Bayern could not find another path to the goal of BVB. The system straightjacket of Van Gaal was his undoing.
Just 72 hours after the drubbing at home to Borussia, Bayern in the semifinals faced the Schalke04 Pokal. Again with the homecourt advantage in favor of Bayern. The league was seen as much more unattainable and the German Cup title seemed in this case an obligation. Opposite Schalke Magath and Raul. Back in the hours before the machinery of the sports media via Munich tried to put pressure on the "Königsblau, this time in the person of their goalkeeper Neuer. Beckenbauer has said repeatedly that he sees in Neuer Bayern's goal for the future, Magath obviously prefer to go Neuer, choose from the bids of the Premier teams (Manchester Utd. and Chelsea) to strengthen the Bayern. And while the phenomenal goalkeeper is not just made in this regard. Van Gaal does not seem to learn from the defeat by BVB, by contrast Magath took good note and repeated the tactic of BVB. The limited Schalke could not put the quality Borussia offensive on the table, so Magath decided to pack the midfield with four central midfielder in his starting lineup. Bayern came back with justice (0-1), prey to its lack of alternatives. Much has been spoken of "Robbery", but it seems that these two players now reduce the performance of the team. Conclusion: Another title that was fading.
Since last weekend, Bayern traveled to Hanover. A much more modest equipment as above but in good shape. His coach Mirko Slomka had learned from the previous and repeated the same pattern as his colleagues Klopp and Magath. Instead Van Gaal does not appear to have been aware of the film. Result: 3-1, including Bayern embarrassment that sees not only lost the title but that danger seriously get at least that is square objtivo Champions. It was worth seeing the face of anger and Rummenige Hoeneß on the stage. It seemed that they had demons. And no wonder ...
relationship Van Gaal - Players and months there is a disaster. The authoritarian style of the Dutch never liked in Munich, but last year's success came with their players might "forget" the treatment of the technician. But it was a matter of time, and as bad luck came in view, were the players themselves who first jumped against the deal. An example is the introduction this season of an analyst with the object through video sessions the players learn from their mistakes, but those sessions have almost become a "lynching" of certain players.
If it is not good treatment, so neither players nor management staff can understand the Dutch, are their tactical planteaminetos. The Dutch like to call himself a genius. But I honestly do not think there is anyone in football that you understand your choices, unless you call Van Gaal. Meros
examples is their stubbornness in the same game system, although it is clear that no longer works. Or another more poignant the decision of the midfield. Asks to be low to Van Bommel and instead is brought to Luiz Gustavo (17 Mio. €) in December. Then put the Brazilian left-back and Pranjic (which is left-back) put it in midfield. And not a single party, but the entire second round. Or put Tymoschuck of central rather than midfield, or go for a subsidiary goalkeeper before biggest game of the season. The strange thing is the subsequent reaction of Van Gaal, if the move goes well, is a coach's decision only own genius, if it goes wrong, are the players who have lost the game. I understand that decisions
bizarre how are you take out of their cells at any staff / team manager / president ... and we know the character of Hoeneß.
wondered why anyone would give this week announced that Van Gaal would leave Bayern in the summer, but I would bet that if the results are still bad, the Dutch did not finish the season on the bench of the Bavarian camapeón. All a matter of time and finding a suitable replacement.
