Streich - yes. If you take him with the Freiburg surrounding. Freiburg is its own universe. Tuchel - no, never. Atleast not when he talks German or is in Germany. He actually is very awkward - somehow in English he feels better especially with the english media. With the German media he has...

Bullocks. Professor Dr. Broich was brought in after Pep's first season in 2014. He "survived" Pep, Ancelotti, Heynckes, Flick, Nagelsmann and Tuchel... Great guy. Levy will love that. Other story is not that Kornmayer will get back to Munich but that the next Redbull guy will come in after...

Even without Müller he should know how to improve the output of Lewy and "help" him. With a better pressing Lewy should get more possibilities anyways. I just have a problem right now to see who will be the one that can organize a good pressing. I do not really see Gündogan in that position.

Flick's assistant Tapalovic is Manuel Neuer's best friend and best man - when Neuer came to Munich in 2011 he brought him with him as goalkeeper coach. Udo Lattek, a former Barcelona coach, was Flick's coach for a couple of year's at Bayern in the 80s.

I actually do not think that there is a brand of football for Flick. What he is is that he is very pragmatic and he usually brings players and staff together. It was just great how fast he managed to make the changes after he came in charge midseason. He never really had a proper preparation...

Actually - special was that Pavlovic, a 19-year-old local guy that is in the Bayern academy since he is seven, had his first start in the CL yesterday. He had his first minutes in the Bundesliga in late autumn of last season and his first start in Bundesliga in December. He is nearly a regular...

Bayern plays differently today than they did all time when Lewy was there. Right now it is a low block with 3 runners and Kane, who often even is in midfield. When Bayern has a lot ball possession Kane does not even get any touches in the box... You cannot compare the styles. Right now the...

Gündogan did not take the creative part in that midfield - that was de Bruyne. And the one with the big passing range and the defensive skills was Rodri. Gündogan was the levelheaded guy in that midfield that added sometimes some goals (again coming from behind when others were occupying the...

Yes, sure. That was golf... Every team had to handle the situation - some could, some could not. But the situation was the same for all of them. Or do you think you would have won 3:0 with people around. You did against Frankfurt... not... ;)

He was not so unorthodox and not just a poacher. Actually he was nearly transfering to Barcelona in 1973 after scoring 85 goals in the season before. The contracts were already signed. But Bavarian politicians and the DFB interfered.

Pace does not matter if the opponent sits back like they do against Bayern. And the wingers have enough pace. Physicality might be more important - but actually a very good timeing and do surprising things is far more important. As long as Müller still plays - probably 2 seasons - he needs to...

They need to find a good replacement for Nkunku first.

No. Brazzo and Kahn knew it two days before and had talks with the board then. But somebody leaked it to the press on Saturday. Brazzo took it easily and is despite the job so connected with club and people there so he was with the team all the time even on the balcony Saturday. Kahn did not.

We beat Inter in a phase when they were still struggling really at the beginning of the season. We were lucky that Barcelona did not beat us in the first half of the first match - in the second match you were already out. Plzen is just Plzen. And it for sure is not that difficult to beat PSG...

No - as the problem was Nagelsmann - and one of the reasons why Lewy left... He was fired too late - not too early. None of the problems Tuchel has to deal with now was not there before.

Yes. But Bayern had more money in the recent 30 years. But other Bayern squads in the past always had their years in which they slipped especially in the smaller matches - or just slipped more often. It has to do with mentality, too.

The tale is that this will stop when Neuer, Lewy and M?ller are gone. Lewy is already gone, Neuer injured - and M?ller will stop 2024 or 2025...

Yes, he really had a lot fun...

Isn't it just normal when you have been playing for a club 8 years and you still have friends there? Thiago often posts his son running around in new Bayern kit or them watching the matches. And I for sure do not doubt that he is as engaged with his new club as he is with his old ones.

Leo is an individualist - he is a great no. 10 - but it will always be that 10 with the ball that other big teams will try to get out of the match. In the matches against you (and yesterday) it maybe was the task of the defenders to work against Mbappe and others, but of the midfielders to get...
