Column on FC Bayern, BVB, Fredi Bobic, Thomas Müller, Otavio



[ad_1]

Hello soccer friends,

the summit between FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund delivered on its promise. Only nine minutes had been played when Erling Haaland twice surprised Bayern.

But the Bavarians are the Bavarians. Led by a once again outstanding Robert Lewandowski, the Munich team turned the game around and once again showed the eternal rival their limits. (SERVICE: All games and results)

The depth of the defeat with the blacks and yellows was shown in subsequent interviews. Marco Reus even accused the referee of missing eggs before 2: 3. If the situation at Leroy Sané and Emre Can had been the other way around, Marco Fritz would certainly have whistled, that’s Reus’s opinion.

But I don’t want to hang this emotional outburst too high. You lose a game where you lead 2-0 after a few minutes. You have a feeling that things are going well and then the game is over after 15-20 minutes. Of course, the disappointment runs deep. (SERVICE: Bundesliga table)

Dortmund have to look forward

But after the action, the game was very long and Dortmund had a chance to defend the goal. Therefore, the claim that an alleged foul should have decided the game is a very steep thesis.

And do not mention the failure of Bayern: before the penalty at 2: 2, the referee was not two meters from the situation and did not whistle. The video assistant had to intervene first.

Therefore, Dortmund should simply shake off bankruptcy. If they believed their own argument that the game was only lost due to a bad decision, then it could be bad for BVB.

In the past, in tennis, normally I would never have lost had it not been for this or that. Just stop it and let it go. Then focus for a moment if it helps you cope with frustration. But you can’t get more out of it. Just analyze the game again later and you can see where you lost the game.

Thomas Müller is back in the DFB

But Saturday also had good news for all German football fans.

Thomas Müller has returned for me in the national team since Saturday, seeded and aligned. I have waited long for the moment. I look at the miller and I look at the national team and I think: something was there once.

But everything is okay now.

Joachim Löw said the crucial phrase and I agree with that: we have to build the best possible team in the European Championship. Of course I can understand that with agitation. But it’s mainly about winning titles.

That is why the national coach has now reconsidered his position. If you can save face with Corona, if you want. If the miller plays at the end and looks like football, all is well.

Reif: Concern about changing Bobic’s theater

On the other hand, one thing that worries me a bit in the Bundesliga is Fredi Bobic’s alternative theater.

Unfortunately, one has to ask the question: what is the truth?

The CHECK24 double pass Sunday from 11 am on TV on SPORT1

Was it what he said? Did you announce last year that your era is over here, that you have brought Eintracht to the international rankings and you can’t get more out of it and actually wanted to stop there, but you spread it across Corona? So the question is, how was the arrangement?

But now we come to the moral level.

When Alaba wanted to fulfill his contract to the end without extending it, Bayern was outraged. However, these things carry their own weight in professional football. Sometimes I think there is more to contracts about exit clauses than anything else.

So those responsible should not be surprised if there is an alienation with the fans.

Reif warns of the alienation of the fans

You have fans like at Schalke: a mixture of heart and dreams and, on the contrary, a business venture that must be managed; I think a new audience will emerge and that has been going on for a long time.

The alienation of those who still want to see their football as it used to be, you can no longer do that.

This audience is not coming back because these fans no longer get what they want. It’s over.

Otávio: What goes wrong is a mystery

Finally, I would like to say something briefly about the blood inflow of Paulo Otávio from VfL Wolfsburg: Suspend as long as possible. He had half a space of room to think about doing something that would end up in prison in a “normal” life. I don’t want to have people like that on the soccer field anymore. Do I now ask for a ban for life? Do not!

But if you have that on the spectrum to get close to such an opponent: it’s a mystery to me what is missing there.

See you soon,
