Bayern – Uli Hoeneß also made mistakes – Sport

The Bayern president has unnecessarily delayed the change of club. He should admit that at the annual general meeting – and not be lulled by a 5: 1 in the present.

On Friday, at the FC Bayern Annual General Meeting, Uli Hoeneß will give a speech again. Perhaps he has gone through the text in recent days. Normally, the president of Bayern has always been able to rely on his intuition on these occasions. But when Hoeneß tried his luck, this bizarre press corruption conference came out. So: how much of an attack should be on Friday? What can we avoid better? And: is there perhaps a small flaw to be granted?

One must guess: after Bayern's 5: 1 win on Tuesday night against Benfica Lisbon, Uli Hoeness still has in mind one or the other self-critical pbadage deleted.

The view from above sometimes helps to see the big picture. In the Bayern arena above means: on the VIP booth. The honorary tribune was Tuesday for the first time in a long time a happy place. First of all, Uli Hoeneß was no longer bothered by the sight of Paul Breitner. He knows he has returned his honor card after Hoeness let him say he should not show up for a while because of his talkative Bavarian on TV. And second, this 5: 1 was clearly a game of criticism!

"All are still floating," said Uli Hoeneß a year ago.

Arjen Robben can not beat opponents? By the way! He has already danced five pieces before his 1: 0! Franck Ribéry misses the bite of yesteryear? By the way! The Frenchman also participated in scoring scorers. And then the warm embrace with coach Niko Kovac after his replacement! Was not it the evidence that all reports of a relationship allegedly broken between Kovac and part of the crew are nothing but, yes, False news? You could say that wonderful Friday, right?

We are too happy to be lulled by the magic of the present. Uli Hoeneß knows it – for a year. "FC Bayern is in fantastic condition again," he said excitedly at the annual general meeting, "all in suspense". He himself "stands here as a totally satisfied person". And then, Hoeness, hovering, placed for the first time in the middle of a series of victories the news that he thought it was possible that the reactivated short-term for the licensee Carlo Ancelotti retired, Jupp Heynckes, still want to stay coach for a year.

If you look today, a year later, the reasons for the many problems that have infected Bayern are essential: the fact that Hoeneß in November 2017, in his present happiness, has prevented the decisions necessary to bring him back. to come up. Rather than having a high-level coach with the club's best program, they agreed shortly before Kovac's deadline and his effectiveness on Eintracht Frankfurt's outsider football. And instead of vitalizing the team, even with tight cuts, they built a team in which Robben and Ribery now depend on much more than they can afford. From this point of view, this 5: 1 could also prove to be a Pyrrhic victory: as the next game of decisive delay.

Seen in the light on Tuesday night, it was more likely to admire the breeding of old heroes than their glorious renaissance. And doubts about the coach can be denied after such a win, but do not go away. Suggestion for the first sentence of the speech of Uli-Hoeness: "Dear members, We all made mistakes last year – including myself."
