If you want to be always there, just have to camp out on the street sometimes. 6.45 clock on Wednesday morning hit a young man on his folding chair in front of the headquarters of FC Bayern at the Säbener road. On the morning of the sale of the last tickets for the semi-finals of the DFB Cup began against Borussia Dortmund next Tuesday, and the fan was eager to be first in line. So little sleep – after a magical night
With. 6: 1 (5: 0) Munich had in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League won against FC Porto, rather, triumphed. And after a 1: 3 in the first leg. They played themselves into a frenzy in the first half, it was football close to perfection. The Bavarians have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in a row for the fourth time – that is unprecedented in the history of the club
A statement to the competition
Club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said he had seen it all, but as a game quite rare. “It’s one of those nights where you’re going and saying home: ‘It’s like a dream, what we have seen today.’” And the world champion Thomas Müller, who, with his 27th goal in the Champions League for German scorer had conveyed, said: “It was a statement victory.” A statement to the competition, the other three semi-finalists: Look how strong we are! A statement to those who had written off the record champions after the first leg.
The pressure before the game was enormous – for the team of coach Pep Guardiola. Both shown that they can withstand the pressure. That they do not get distracted by the turmoil caused by the resignation of team physician Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt. The now legendary 0. 4 against Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the preseason Guardiola had taken upon himself, he had “vercoacht” the game
This time he had the optimal match schedule. And making the right decisions. Guardiola had Holger Badstuber for the last uncertain Dante ordered into central defense, set after the long injury lay still on Thiago as a playmaker and captain Philipp Lahm can play unusually far to the right. The game on the outside was decisive. “We like the pressure. We were born for such games,” Thiago, who had commanded a world class service said. And obviously, is the new leader of Bavaria.
There was therefore a victory Guardiola, who in 2013 urged Thiago obligation. In the case of a defeat against Porto would have probably put a lot into question. His tactics, his philosophy, his power, his dealings with the doctors, his future. According easier was the 44-year-old: “It is madness to thank the players I am a happy man…” But his team could play better, so the Spaniard after his 100th game as Bayern coach.
Only the triple was enough that he knew Guardiola had said before the second leg. The expectations, both internally and externally, is enormous. The data are shown in red in the calendar of club employees: the final of the DFB Cup on 30 May in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, the Champions League final on June 6, also at the Olympic Stadium
The success of Tuesday, has preserved the chance of a historic season. And the ever doubting Guardiola confirmed: I’ve met the right tone when addressing to the players. He had been in demand as a psychologist after the first leg defeat. And as a crisis manager.
Guardiola damn tight pants
During the game he cheered then so wild that it pants ripped. On Wednesday joked about almost all of Germany. 11,230,000 viewers had seen alone in the ZDF, as his dark blue boxer shorts appeared. “The wears the pants but still damn tight. The Italian style is sure about what contributed to” joked Müller. Guardiola said he had not been cold despite the mishap. “I was hot!”
The victory over Porto may have been the determining of the season. Directly after the final whistle there were many indications that the 6: 1 has atmospheric effects that offer very good conditions for success in the coming weeks. The result and the way how it came about, have much cemented. And cohesion strengthened.
“The team has shown that they are a team,” said Lahm. And Rummenigge said: “I read somewhere that I was the puppet of the trainer This trainer is an A real friend of the quality professional, and so am I understand and support him….”
scenes as only in title wins
After the final whistle, the fans were calling in South Bend. .. “And the 25-year-old really climbed up there and agreed with a megaphone to a song on the grass danced the team. Such scenes it has in recent years at Bayern – if at all – only given title wins
In the cabin the flipped then the music. the defender Rafinha and Jerome Boateng danced. They only had himself tied towels, her colleagues stood around it and clapped. The club bosses presented with satisfaction: Mia san Mia (again) lived
In the city there was a euphoria which could carry the team far. Already about an hour after the game against Porto had received 271,000 ticket orders for the semi-finals at the club. The hair-raising errors from the first leg not forget the many injuries but also not. And many fans say: If Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben are back soon, we need not fear any team
Friday, 12:00 clock (livescore in welt.de. ), lost the European Association Uefa in Nyon, the semi-final duel Off, play dates are the 5th / 6th and the 12th / 13th May Porto coach believes that the Munich now have a very good chance of winning the title.
Lewandowski would be
The Bavarians also. “We played really horny against Porto. Many have thought that we would not make it, but we are the FC Bayern. We can do anything. And we want to win everything,” Robert Lewandowski said. The striker scored Tuesday for the first time in a game in the Champions League for Bayern two goals and played in the last few weeks more and more as they all have wanted at the club since his obligation.
A Wish opponent for the semi-finals have not Bayern Rummenigge. “Maybe we’re not the desire of every opponent.”
The first title of the season, the club already win at the weekend. Saturday night he receives Hertha BSC. If Bayern win and not win the second-placed VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Guardiola and his players are laid as champion. It would be the 25th win of the competition. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer says: “Against Porto it was a class performance of all of us sure we do not rest on our laurels..” For the Berlin it must sound like a threat.
