FC Bayern Munchen

FC Bayern Munich celebrated against SC Freiburg, but a 4-2 success over long distances but the game was lacking in highlights. The German champions but makes the table but a great leap forward.

PERSONAL & TACTICS
Louis van Gaal had shortly before the game to give Holger Badstuber that was injured while warming up. moved for the German national team player Martin Demichelis with a supposedly sorted out in the squad. Otherwise, the record holder played as expected: Gomez, stormed Kroos could try again in the midfield.
The SC Freiburg was a highly regarded defense and lightning fast Papiss Demba Cisse as a lone striker. Ümit Toprak moved back into the defense line, the goal was of the injured Simon Oliver Baumann Pouplon.
PLAYING THE GAME 1st HALF
It took until the 16th Minute before the first time aufbrandete danger in the Allianz Arena and to the dismay of the fans had the opportunity to host the first: After a long free-kick eluded Cisse in the box, his header but he was a little hasty in addition to the gate.The Bavarians had problems even after the first wake-up call, had their first chance until midway through the first half. Gomez took the ball against Schuster played on Altintop, but the excess of the Turks went with his weaker left foot clearly misses the goal (21).
The game remained at a low level and so only had once again in the 34th Ottl Minute, a half-chances: After an edge, he pounded on it from a distance, his shot just over but stressed the case. Just before the break, the door should fall yet. After a corner from Pranjic climbed Demichelis and overcame with his powerful header goalkeeper Baumann (40.) Ironically, the Argentine took his team to a 1-0 at the break.

SPIELVERLAUF 2. HÄLFTE

Auch in der zweiten Halbzeit dauerte das Spiel einige Zeit, bis es zu einer gefährlichen Situation kam. Mario Gomez hatte dann nach Zuspiel von Schweinsteiger die Gelegenheit, Baumann rettete aber mit einem tollen Reflex (57.). Wenig später machte es der Ex-Stuttgarter aber besser: Nach einer Ecke von Pranjic wurde er völlig alleingelassen und konnte unbedrängt zum 2:0 einköpfen (61.). Die Freiburger steckten aber nicht auf und kamen nur wenig später durch einen Reisinger-Treffer zurück ins Spiel. Der Angreifer verwertete eine Flanke von Putsilo per Flugkopfball (64.). In der Schlussphase ging es dann nochmal turbulent zu:

Anatoliy Tymoshchuk sorgte mit dem 3:1 für die Entscheidung. Pranjic leistete über links eine tolle Vorarbeit, passte nach innen auf Tymoshchuk – wo der Ukrainer von der Strafraumgrenze präzise ins linke flache Eck zu seinem ersten Bundesliga-Tor verwandelte (72.). Acht Minuten später traf dann auch noch Toni Kroos mit einem sensatiollen Weitschuß aus gut 25 Metern (80.). Das Eigentor von Edson Braafheid, nach einer Flanke bugsierte er den Ball unfreiwillig in eigene Tor, änderte nichts mehr am Spielausgang (87.). Die Bayern siegten schlussendlich verdient mit 4:2.

Louis van Gaal has taken the blame for the breach of Miroslav Klose up. The Dutchman gave in to pressure from the striker who, after a supposedly recovering from hamstring wanted to train again.

Klose had incurred in the training of the Bavarian reserve a torn muscle in his left thigh and will be out at least three weeks. Three weeks ago, the national team was the same injury in the same place out of action.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is the damage for weakened Bayern-Eleven of the pivotal point. He holds back the store close, it gives the forward momentum, and if need be, he does, as in 2-1 in the Cup against Werder Bremen, the top goal scorer.

No wonder that arouse desires such services at another club. The Chelsea FC is said to have his eye on the 26-year-olds beginning of the week is Manchester United have knocked. But Christian Nerlinger thinks no intention to let go Schweinsteiger. ”Bastian is not for sale as a key figure,” said the sports director of the ‘tz’. The “appropriate time” to the contract, which runs until 2012, be extended. “We do like to keep him until the end of career. That is our clear priority. ”

Lahm is waiting for signal from the Board
Even with the second “crown jewels” (O-Ton Nerlinger), Philipp Lahm, the Bayern want as quickly as possible to the negotiating table. And the vice captain, whose contract also expires in 2012, can imagine an early extension. ”I’ve always said that I want to see that something is being moved so that it goes forward,” said the 26-year-old the ‘tz’. “And I realize that it is.”

Currently, it looks good for a contract extension, Lahm said: “I am waiting for a signal from the board until someone was coming towards me, we have a very good foundation..”

Louis van Gaal

Like many of his teammates from FC Bayern also that after the World Cup in South Africa and the short preparation for the new season only troublesome came to kick, also of Munich midfielder struggled with some serious steps through the first season weeks.But in the new edition of this year’s Cup final was Schweinsteiger key protagonist and his team could now be on the way back to form.

After Werder’s early lead through Claudio Pizarro (2nd minute) marked Schweinsteiger after about half an hour, the crucial equalizer after the ball had landed after the work from Hamit Altintop something happy before his feet. Then came his magnificent long-range shot from about thirty yards in the 75thMinute, for he with his right foot indefensible in the upper left corner sunk – into the middle of the drive phase Bremer, who had possessed the same number of major opportunities for your leadership.

FSV Mainz 05 has achieved what surprise league leaders 1899 Hoffenheim is not two years ago succeeded: The sensational league leaders FC Bayern is not a candidate as a title taken lightly.

“We should take seriously Mainz. You not only win, they play attractive football,” Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge praised in an interview with the ‘tz’. ”We need to ensure that we rankommen closer to them. Then I am convinced that we in the second round, rested with the injured players on board, can attack fully.”

Finally, the season go a very long time, so Rummenigge: “Christmas we want to stand there, look promising direction that we can defend the title: with 5 to 6 points behind No. 1 would be the more feasible This must be our goal..” But Bayern would have to catch up in the next 9 games but at least 6 meters.

The hope dies last – this is the moment for Bayern, and especially to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: Despite the disappointing goalless in Hamburg sees the boss of the future of Bayern almost pink.

“After the 0-2 in Dortmund, we had a serious situation that made us worry. Since then we have won two games and now, despite many failures brought a point where we have lost twice last full strength 0:1. So there is no reason to take Valium to calm themselves, “Rummenigge told the ‘Bild am Sonntag’.

He was confident that “we are now in motion,” said the 55-year-old and justified his optimism with the strong performance of the 2ndGuard as Anatoly Tymoshchuk, Hamit Altintop and Andreas Ottl.Anyway the team in an excellent physical condition. ”Physical fitness, we were finally even better than the HSV, although the did not have to play internationally. And in the near future to return some injured players. The coach then has more alternatives.”

After the final whistle of the North-South classic in Hamburg, Bayern managers had quickly found a scapegoat in the rather poor performance. This time it was the DFL, which angered their schedules with the bosses.

First up was Louis van Gaal: “This is crazy that we have a game every three days,” Mosert the coach. Last Tuesday, it went against Cluj, coming Tuesday in the DFB Cup against Werder Bremen and three days later is at the next league game against SC Freiburg.”It’s questionable,” said Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Also Karl-Heinz Rummenigge criticized the fixtures. ”We had less than 72 hours to play Champions League,” said the Bayern boss. “Since the DFL shows little sensitivity.” He will always be more to the Pro-15.30-friend, he added ironically. ”I notice Mr Seifert of the DFL said. Since I sometimes lack understanding. This is very strange.”
