Yesterday sounded by you that the dispute with Hoeness a loss of authority could result. The players have consistently said that this was not the case.

Makes it easier to say now that it was now and now it goes on?

Van Gaal: “When a President says something, then it may be that my authority has become a bit less, but okay, I do not believe that this is so in the case..”

Hoeness sees risk of “one-man show”

The starting point of public discussion was a performance by Bayern president Uli Honess in the TV show Sky90 was on Sunday in which he had coach Louis van Gaal, mutatis mutandis, accused of having taken players from the second row too little: “There is one. or other injustice done to us “In addition, it is difficult to speak with the Dutch,” because he does not accept the opinions of other people, “said Hoeness added that:” It is like (Note: Schalke coach) Felix Magath: ” A football club may now be a one-man show. ”

Strengthened players, coaches weakened?

Club managers and coaches should be unity; suggests, however, the Board (or, as here, the President) publicly sided with the players, threatening the coach hardship because he is usually the weakest link in the chain: not the players in usually dismissed, but the coach. Hoeness now publicly supported the actors Mario Gomez, Martin Demichelis and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk to him by van Gaal learned too little appreciation. If they are following the return of some currently injured players back to give way to the bench, it shall be provided a not insignificant alibi, á la “. We have already heard, the coach has just not enough of us,” Might it then also cry in the leadership, the FC Bayern would threaten a team of internal strife. Already confirmed defender Philipp Lahm, that the controversy between Hoeness and van Gaal has been discussed in the team. Who’s surprised?
