There are victories, but there is no order.
Neuer criticized the leadership in the press
Manuel always does what he wants. This is Oliver Kahn’s definition. The Bayern goalkeeper, who broke his leg skiing down a barren slope, has criticized the decision to sack his friend Tapalovic from the club. Neuer gave an interview in which he defended more a personal trainer than a full-fledged assistant of Nagelsmann, as underlined by Nübel himself, rented from Monaco.
The conflicts are long-standing, because Neuer is a Bayern legend. He may consider the 35-year-old “no name” Julian a temporary mentor, not very respectful. But the coach who fired Tapalovic is right if he sent messages to the players from the coaches’ chat. Bayern have a tradition of bringing together people with character. They fought more often about money. Recently, Lewandowski and company took outrage over the salaries agents eliminated for newcomers to the team without legend and veteran status.
The older ones resented the younger ones. Neuer was jealous of Kimmich, because Nagelsmann sees Josua as a future captain. Also in this story is Muller, who has had a difficult time. Guardiola left Thomas on the bench. The presence of Lewandowski ruled out work in the penalty area. Müller also saw that Nagelsmann, who can be compared to Tuchel in his love of conflicts at work, argues with Lewandowski. Robert’s character is also not sugar.
Nagelsmann has too many conflicts at Bayern. Lewandowski and Tapalovic are gone, Neuer will be stripped of the captain’s armband. There is no absolute villain in this story whose job it is to destroy Bayern. But there is also a lack of normality. The German club is among the leaders in training fights between the giants. High competition leads to jealousy. Sommer’s arrival could also anger Neuer, even if he himself is to blame for risking his health. Manuel is a proud man.
He will never admit that he was wrong. Nagelsmann is also a young and hot-tempered mentor. Kan and Salihamidzic are hard to call wise. Both are sharp-tongued, aggressive and biting managers. They approved the sudden sacking of Tapalovic, who has known Schalke’s Neuer and worked in Monaco since 2011. But the leaders and Nagelsmann are right. If Tony leaked correspondence from the manager’s chat to the players, then this is bad behavior.
They could discuss, among other things, the future of Pavard, Muller, Sane and Neuer. After such a betrayal and violation of subordination, dismissal is the right step. Nagelsmann can’t hunt down an injured Klopp if he doesn’t trust his staff.
Musiala is beautiful, but Bayern have a fever
Powerful enough to score three goals against Wolfsburg in twenty minutes, breaking a dangerous run of draws. Coman fired up, unexpected newcomer Cansel came in handy. Mueller was seen in the center. They say the players asked the veteran to be put on the cutting edge, Musial defended a competitor. Jamal is Bayern’s main handsome man. At his age, few people play so maturely.
Jamal decided that the Wolfsburg players were extras, grabbed the ball on the wing, reached the opponent’s goal in a long arc and scored after the slalom. The first ball in the Bundesliga in the new year. Musiala is ready to please Nagelsmann again. But don’t forget the nature of the previous games of the season. The draws were not accidental, but the problems in defense remained, as Wolfsburg scored twice. Both times the defense could have played better.
In the past, Bayern have experienced more than one conflict. A phoenix team that can improve after a downturn. We must not forget the state they were in when Hansi Flick was appointed and how his run at Monaco continued with a Champions League win. But every analogy requires an explanation. Kahn recalled how Klinsmann ousted goalkeeping coach Meyer from the national team when he stood up for Kahn in a conflict with Lehmann.
But Sepp missed professional grades. He called the purchase of Neuer a big mistake for Bayern, he offered to believe Rensing and Kraft. Kahn is now telling Neuer that management knows best, and Oliver himself has been rowdy in the past after Meyer’s tough resignation.
The coach is in desperate need of credibility
Nagelsmann boasted a sense of humour. This is usually done by people who don’t have it. Julian is picky. The German is nervous and understands that if enough first-team players join Neuer, then his days at Bayern are numbered. Last season he scored 6 more points in the same period, but Lewandowski was there. And now we need to rebuild, integrate Mane and give time for the rest.
Mentors have several types. Elder brother, beloved uncle, father and grandfather. And there is no type of peer. We are in solidarity with young mentors, it is more difficult for them. In Spartak, Tedesco and Abascal were mocked, but in Bayern there are sharks with ambitions. Nagelsmann insists he is not responsible for anything that happens at Bayern. But experienced coaches know that the daughter-in-law, the mentor is always to blame. Especially in a club of this caliber.
Kahn will close a deal with Tuchel in one day, with Enrique in two days and in a week he will convince Zidane. The paradox of Bayern is that unresolved problems are hidden behind the results. Including tactical ones. Especially in the phases of return to defense and positional defense. Potential allows you to interrupt unsuccessful streaks. But when the captain spreads the manual in the press and does not understand it personally, then this is always a bad sign.
Club scouts could whisper to Salihamidzic that no player of Haaland’s caliber will go to Nagelsmann. Julian doesn’t have the authority of Ancelotti and Guardiola. Zidane’s shadow looms. Zinedine could return to Real Madrid. Or dedicate a couple of years to cleaning up Juventus. The French are waiting PSG. But Bayern are also an interesting project. It’s safer for the coach, because it’s easier to win the championship. Zidane and Kahn could join forces this summer.
Then the 35-year-old coach will suffer, who was once in the semifinals of the Champions League with Leipzig, but flew away to Bayern from Villarreal a year ago. Football players have not forgotten this, even if they themselves are to blame. That’s just with the acceptance of liability in Munich has always been a problem.
