2018 FIFA World Cup: National Team – Löw has a problem Bayern

E r is one of the first to have experienced the new pride of the master. FC Bayern traded in its stadium just the last of the 25,000 seats, after the withdrawal of the TSV 1860, the arena in the red and white club colors instead of previously held in gray. The series of stands will form the club's logo for the first time at the start of the Bundesliga season against Hoffenheim on August 24, as well as the motto of the club "Mia san Mia".

Joachim Löw should watch it from the VIP area, and the decor will be emblematic of the national coach: the Bavarians are ubiquitous – and for the success of his team even more relevant than usual, it depends from them to build a new German team. The people of Munich, however, are under enormous pressure and can not pay attention to their concerns. Löw is in the dilemma of Bayern

Watching the match of the first season live is for the 58 – Year almost almost tradition. Between Weißweinbar and Dessertbüffet, he is expected to meet the guests of the club's president Uli Hoeneß and CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. The bosses are aware that their players after the World Cup-Aus are the most important for the German national team.

Instead of a Bayern block, there will be even two Bayern blocks after the necessary change in the selection: experienced players around Captain Manuel Neuer, Mats Hummels, Jerome Boateng and Thomas Müller as well as Right back Joshua Kimmich and midfielder Sebastian Rudy. The second of the young stars Niklas Süle, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry, who stand with Kimmich for the future of the selection of the German Football Association. The new Löw team will therefore have about half of the Munich players.

Löw can not demand anything from Bayern

And in the long run, there may be more: the Bavarians want to train the best talent in the country and continue to Timo Werner, national striker Leipzig, to be interested. All other Bundesliga clubs have recently set up a maximum of one player for the World Cup team.

It would be ideal for the reconstruction of the national team if Süle, Goretzka and Gnabry had regular matches in their club. Löw needs it in good shape and at the pace of the game. "You qualify for the Bundesliga by playing in the club," says Gnabry.

Already on 6 September, Löw starts a new section as national coach, in Munich, in the match of the League of Nations against France. A section in which he is extremely watched. Löw is measured by how much he really changes, how much he puts the performance principle above the merits of the past. His problem: he can not demand anything from Bayern. Löw is usually seen differently after the World Cup. And the people of Munich must first think of themselves

Niko Kovac greatly appreciates Löw. "I'm Jogi Pro!", Declared the winner of the DFB Cup when he took office Monday. But in terms of time of installation and deployment, there will be only one decisive factor for him: the success of his team. In his first season as a Bayern coach, Kovac has to work. One title – last season's disappointing record has increased expectations for the new. The seventh consecutive championship is mandatory, in the Champions League it will eventually reach the final after 2013.

Kovac and Löw must build the losers of the World Cup

What can not be right: Goretzka and Gnabry threatened as in the past season Rudy and Süle the bank. How should he then implement the performance principle? In the internationally established Bavaria, the competition is enormous. In addition to Goretzka and Gnabry, eleven other players are fighting for five positions in the respective midfield: Rudy, Müller, Arturo Vidal, Thiago, Javi Martinez, Corentin Tolisso, Renato Sanches, Kingsley Coman, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and James .

Even though the change-voluntarily Thiago should still leave the club, the team is great – and the Franck Evina talent is not even counted here. Kovac knows that Robben and Ribery can be dangerous for a coach if they are too screwed to watch. For the former Croatian international, he is the first coach of a world club. He and Löw have to build the losers of the German World Cup and bring them back to the old force. A good relationship with the Bavarians is one of the foundations of Löw's future work.

However, cleaning jacks is not the thing of the world champion coach. With few exceptions, Löw does not visit clubs outside of match days. It will change a lot after the World Cup, keep its basic principles – and probably will not meet the leaders of Bayern before the start of the league against Hoffenheim. In mid-July, Löw will go on vacation until August. Until his return, he would not like to perform in public, do not give interviews and think first about what happened in the past.

Any international authorization is also a risk

It regulates a lot with his smartphone. As WELT AM SONNTAG learned, the national coach wrote after the World Cup with several leaders of the Bundesliga. Loew got a lot of popularity with the creators of the clubs after the debacle in Russia, he is always appreciated with them.

Also Hoeneß praised just before the World Cup Löws calm down nature and share the success of the national team in recent years. Hoeneß's dream of "FC Germany", of a Bayern team with many German internationals, has come true. The club's head was with a Bayern block in 1974, seven Munich were then to choose, as much as in the title in 2014.
