From the cab of Bayern Munich could be heard ten minutes after the game Reggae music. It sounded like the relaxing end to an evening that had not gone so exhausting for the players, as some had feared.
Thomas Müller looked extremely relaxed: with a multi-vitamin drink in his hand and a pink FC Bayern training jacket he joked after the Champions League opener at Olympiakos Piraeus about his strange goal to 1: 0 – which version they wanted to hear? The truth, Mueller said, was the following: “I see the Lewi ( attacker Robert Lewandowski, d Red ..), As he launches into space in the penalty area, I wanted to purely give sharply to five meters. got in the air, I ‘noted: This is no edge “. The ball flew and flew and landed next to the back post on the net, Olympiakos goalkeeper Roberto jumped as desperate as vain afterward (52 minutes). Until then the game for Bayern was quite cumbersome. After Muller’s lucky hit them dropped everything easier.
Shortly before the end, as then even when substitute Mario Götze (89) and Müller again from the penalty spot (90th +. 2) to 3: 0 final score had met were then also their own fans to hear again been. When Müller was asked about this, said the attacker, he had no idea that the Munich Ultras had been beaten by police with batons in the guest curve about an hour before the game.
The other fact mentioned players had not heard of it. The beatings attack had happened already about half an hour before warming up the players. On YouTube is among other things a strong bleeding fan watching outside the block, which is treated by paramedics. A possible history, however, is not captured in pictures.
In the club was held on Wednesday evening with comment back, even if you “disproportionate” found the police action in any case. Sporting director Matthias Sammer said: “The pictures were of course not good, but you must evaluate reputable..” He wanted to wait, what there had been at the alleged provocations of their own fans – that was not yet officially released also on Thursday morning.
The game itself had already analyzed Sammer. “I think it’s a great result, I thought it was also a good performance,” Sammer said then, and added some surprisingly added: “A 0. 0 would have been okay” He wanted to express that the team played as well as they had planned. That was the most important thing, the result of a minor matter.
About how it became increasingly quieter infamous Karaiskakis Stadium, had been able to recognize very well how the plan of Bavaria had risen. The Bayern played more often than usual to secure ball, like also to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
“The atmosphere was fantastic,” going forward
It was quickly only when Thiago in midfield had a good idea, or the rapid Douglas Costa space its got sprints. “For the spectators, we played not beautiful, but from coaches perspective, we have the insanely well done”, Josep Guardiola said later. He had spent a patient version of its possession-oriented football, a perfect on opponents as Olympiacos tailored tactics. The coach took the catcalls of the audience gladly accept. “. The atmosphere was fantastic, just nice because you like to play football,” said captain Philipp Lahm – it sounded a little smug at.
The risen plan is the Bavaria deal only insofar as that you could be successful with a similar tactic when Bundesliga away game in Darmstadt on Saturday (kick-off 15.30 clock, live ticker SPIEGEL ONLINE). A major issue likely to violations of hobbling the replaced Xabi Alonso and Arturo Vidal be – where Sammer in the case of Alonso ever “Carefully clear” could give.
But will occupy most Bayern probably the incidents in Block 26 of the Karaiskakis stadium. Without it, there could have been a really quiet evening
