FC Bayern München after the trip to the United States – do not shout

FC Bayern Munich recently spent many hours in the air, but the bosses found a simple way to stay in the meantime in conversation: when recording just right and to settle the subjects for the

For example, President Uli Hoeneß had severely attacked the resigned international Mesut Özil before leaving for a weeklong public relations trip to the United States. Sunday night, local time in Miami, just before the flight back to Munich, the then CEO, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, was swept away. The time pbades until the beginning of the competition.

Rummenigge goes 50 + 1

The week abroad, including visits to powerful NFL companies and major leagues, only Rummenigge in his eternal effort encouraged to put more internationality in German football. He denounced the "Rumgeeiere" in terms of 50 + 1 rule, clubs should have the chance to open up to foreign investors – for the Bundesliga to be more powerful.

Of course, there is a lot of selfishness behind these statements: Bayern's not much of a thing. 39; be the permanent champion of a league that no one likes to see overseas. The German market is lagging behind in the development of FC Bayern's market.

However, Rummenigge's latest statements contrast with what happened on the training ground of Säbener Straße. There has been some down-to-earth side in recent months. On the one hand, this year's trip abroad was significantly reduced compared with the previous year (China, Singapore) according to internal critics. The idea of ​​Niko Kovac as new coach and striker Serge Gnabry was noticeably calm at the beginning of July

More permeability for offspring – still

Several players of their offspring slowly come to the point , and not just because of that because 13 of them were allowed to travel to the United States. Under Kovac, the permeability between FC Bayern campus and the professional team should be higher than under the coaches Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti. Once again

After all, Meritan Shabani has already scored one point in Miami in the 1-1 draw against Manchester City. Even though the 19-year-old is not yet one of the closest to the circle, one relies on a lasting breakthrough among professionals. Among them, striker Oliver Batista Meier, 17, or injured center defender Lars Lukas May, 18. Renato Sanches, 20, who was awarded for the last time, also has another chance.

Boateng and Vidal are allowed to leave

On the other hand, Jerome Boateng, 29, is allowed to move to Paris Saint-Germain if the offer is correct. Arturo Vidal, 31, playing with Inter Milan. He too can leave, although the Bavarians would undoubtedly lose an aggressive leader at his departure.

Of course, the badociation does not no attention to the fact that such transfers do not affect marketing abroad. The Colombian James Rodríguez can easily replace the Chilean Vidal in this regard. On Instagram, for example, Vidal has 5.8 million subscribers, James nearly 40 million subscribers. But the Bayern team tends to decline.

Objective: Success of the Champions League

Neither this makeover, nor the two defeats against Juventus (0: 2) and Manchester City (2: 3) can leave Rummenigge to put pressure on them. 46-year-old coach, and even to increase requirements: "We want to regain what we experienced in London in 2013 in the near future." This means that the "newcomer" Kovac should soon be a success in the Champions League.

National players such as Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, Mats Hummels or Robert Lewandowski, who resumed training on Friday in Munich, Rummenigge expect no less than "full regime" to make up for their disappointments of the World Cup.

This is the sports component. However, Rummenigge seems to be at least as important as the economy: "On this trip, it was once again established how important the Champions League is at the international level."

The rejuvenating cure is not over yet

All of this does not seem to have the look of a Rummenigge who relies totally on the facelift. And not as if the management planning of Bavaria had already been completed.

Thursday, Bayern will visit the training camp on the Tegernsee. For the first time since 2006, the team remains in Bavaria, the club refraining from developing new markets with the immediate preparation of the season. On Sunday, the team went on public display for the first time, during a friendly match against Manchester United. On August 12, the Supercup will be at the former Kovac club, Eintracht Frankfurt.

The very long trips are over for the moment. However, if August is not going to the satisfaction of Bayern's bosses, then the club will not rejoice, but will look around for reinforcements. And not on the FC Bayern campus, but on the international transfer market.
