injury crisis, “mole” -Diskussionen: The situation at Bayern Munich remains even after 2. 0 strained against 1899 Hoffenheim
Pep Guardiola tried to cover up the predicament with gallows humor. “We also have Manuel Neuer to this position,” the coach of Bayern Munich said after the 2: 0 (1: 0) -Pflichtsieg against 1899 Hoffenheim on the injury crisis in central defense and smiled. But Guardiola scowled soon. “Of course,” he said, “we have a problem.” And not only because of the long-term failure of the two central defender Jerome Boateng and Javi Martínez.
The situation in German football champions remains despite continued sovereign standings explosive in the Bundesliga. It was plain to see on Sunday evening. The recent “mole” affair has deeply affected Guardiola. In addition, he sees the hoped triple because of the tight staffing situation in acute danger. “We have only one central defender,” he lamented, “Badstuber, Holger.”
Did Guardiola not new? “Obligations or selling of players depends on the club, not mine,” Guardiola said gruffly. From Barcelona he was used significantly more say. The Bayern stressed club boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on Sky, had probed the market after Boateng’s injury to the back half of the season “very intense”. Knowledge: “Quality is not on the market, there are no good players.” The investigation took on Monday, the “deadline day” in the transfer market, on.
Against Hoffenheim, the double-scorer Robert Lewandowski with his season hits number 18 and 19 (32, 64 completed.), Joshua Kimmich could ran alongside Badstuber. “Joshua has shown that he has the quality. He is quick, strong in the air, intelligent, has a good structure,” Guardiola said. And, perhaps most importantly: “He trusts his coach.” Franz Beckenbauer but expressed doubts that the youngster in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Juventus can exist. “He played well, but in a 1:. 1 situation I do not want to see him because he is not fast enough”
Benatia back
Until Turin, said the strong Arjen Robben, “there is still time to practice. But there is of course critical. Now we make fun, but this is serious and very painful for us.” After Juan Bernat and Rafinha is likely to play at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday (18.30 clock / Sky) even Medhi Benatia be back, but there remain doubts about the vulnerable Moroccans. Guardiola gave himself combative. “We can lament, or go forward I am sure. We’ll do the latter,” he said
Rummenigge tried to calm the situation by emphasizing that Martínez not so. was seriously injured. “We are talking about weeks, not months,” he said about the downtime of the Spaniard. The went to further studies on the injured knee to his home; to Guardiola’s confidence doctor Ramon Cugat, who had already been treated Thiago -. the displeasure of then Bayern doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt
If the thing with the “mole”. During sought Rummenigge questioned the kicker story to nurture (“maybe there are these players not at all”), captain Philipp Lahm said: “It’s a pity,” in title hunt was this incident “certainly not conducive.” Robben found it “embarrassing for the person who did it.” The atmosphere in the team stressed, all is good. “The team is intact and follow the coach,” said Lahm.
At the end but can probably only help what sporting director Matthias Sammer stressed. “We have to win every game,” said the sporting director, “then peace.” And only then. (sid)
