Pep Guardiola: If the coach of Bayern Munich a Lame Duck? – MIRROR ONLINE

If Josep Guardiola may be first asked about the reasons why he has not extended his contract at Bayern, he is far from Munich be – in Qatar namely, where the club from 6 to 12 January keeps its winter training camp , It is no coincidence that the announcement comes at a time in which Guardiola is not tangible for the journalists.

was also released as the barren press release, the coach was already on the way to Spain. It is an admission of the club to Guardiola that he must save the whining demands now. He should concentrate on his actual work, in the statement it was said, “Pep and our team will now work even more intensively from reaching the major sporting goals”.

One can read as normal PR phrase. One can however also be seen as an invitation for the purposes of: We have kept you back, it’s your turn. One type Lame Duck prevention program.

So far, but no more than does the cooperation between club and Guardiola. Especially between Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and the Spaniards, the exchange is down to the essentials. Man working together as professionals, pursue the same objectives. After the 1: 0 win in Hannover and a first round with only two defeats in 26 competitive games and Thomas Müller formulated these objectives as follows: “We want to bring this year eh ‘everything.” The effort of recent months would otherwise be reduced to absurdity.

This looks even Guardiola way. He could leave the club in the previous summer, had already alienated. “I’m not completely convinced whether it is the right thing for this club. I want no problem,” he had said. But as much as he wants to fulfill his three-year contract, he wants to do everything possible to win as many titles as possible. His drive will not diminish, which actually could be sure.

The very first training under Guardiola on June 26, 2013, 10,000 spectators had been a pure show training. And yet the New Stars had as Franck Ribéry put aside and explained gravely and large gestures walkways. It was since then probably no moment in which Guardiola had deviated from his workaholic attitude. He is a businessman enough to go through with the mission Triple.

The pursuit of athletic goals is a long time in contrast to Guardiola’s little interest to be identified with the club. His definite no to exclusive interviews has nothing to do with shyness. Finally, he read with delight in the Munich Literature House before Catalan poems and answered questions from the audience. He was sometimes already palpable, the Lord Guardiola, but not when he appeared on behalf of FC Bayern.

“I buy and sell any player, no coach”

As a coach, he can now go even a little more risk and use players he might otherwise have spared. Theoretically, he no longer has to care about that, how fit these players will be the next preseason. That the team will be extremely exhausted end of the season, is more likely than that the sloppiness stop off

There are of course potential for conflict:. All those reasons which led Guardiola to his decision, will not disappear, they might even anytime boil: The supercooled relation to Rummenigge, the recurrent disputes with the team doctors, the alien for Guardiola distribution of powers at the club. he made

The latter significantly last Friday at the press conference prior to Hanover game on his own, subtle kind. With a set that almost sank the rumors hubbub of the past few days. When he was asked before the Hannover game after his now confirmed successor Carlo Ancelotti, Guardiola said: “I buy and sell any player, no coach.” If this sentence was not meant as a veiled criticism, then it was unnecessary.

wishes for new players and Guardiola will no longer speak in the winter break, when the injury list is only slightly thins the squad is well-positioned for multiple title wins. Should the team fail, however, in the second round of the Champions League at Juventus, from whatever reason, then Guardiola could become a historic “lame duck” of sport, a star coach who must still sit out for months his failure. He will try to prevent by all possible means.
