'Titan' Oliver Kahn must be very brave in the coming weeks, as his FC Bayern is never as bad as the football season started. Due to the current plight of injured, with Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry calls the 41-year-old, that coach Louis van Gaal is to change his system.
"Many coaches have understood the system van Gaal and prepared for them," Kahn told the Munich "tz".
"A system with only one striker lives primarily from the fact that the players are very strong on the flanks. If a seal and a Ribery missing is the idea of playing with two strikers, not sure wrong."
Reinforcements for the winter break?
Against Borussia Dortmund Bayern coach opted for Mario Gomez as a lone striker. Although the ex-Stuttgart last sat on the bench, he let out against the black and yellow and then flashes his old class, but missed promising scoring chances.
But Gomez is not only lacked the luck. In addition to the storm and the problem was further aggravated misery-injured that midfielder Toni Kross in Dortmund too happy gave no figure. The national team was never in the game and could not convince the left side on.
At the latest after the 0-2 defeat at Borussia Dortmund now the last optimist has opened the record holder of the eyes, for in the league's beat Bayern for a long time 13th Critics call for reinforcements already for the winter break after the success of the team between 2009/10 success running behind.
Bayern Munich need "types"
The reason for the current downturn is mainly the lack of freshness and disappointment that most of the national team at the Munich World Cup just failed the. In particular, the "Oranje" Group with captain Mark van Bommel and Super Star seal should the lost World Cup finals against Spain are still rankle.
"For me it has taken in 2002, almost a year before I recovered from that disappointment," Kahn said self-critical, had contributed to slip from his eight years in the World Cup final to 0-2 defeat against Brazil. The "miracle of Yokohama" was then a dream, as perhaps the title of FC Bayern this season.
When it comes to Kahn, the Munich needed above all "types like Schweinsteiger, Lahm and van Bommel, who lead the team back to its former strength. It works for seals, to Bayern in the winter to reach into the war chest and get reinforcements.
Demichelis botched comeback
"I think we have a good team, even the young players have taken a good development. But if there are players in the transfer market is with extra quality, then get a top club like Bayern those players," demanded the Dutchman In an interview with ZDF.
Construction sites there's enough of, especially in defense. Philipp Lahm and Holger Badstuber are still running after their World Cup form. The disgraced in Martin Demichelis botched his comeback in Dortmund, after he replaced the injured Daniel van Buyten was on the field.
In the last storm blew only a mild breeze, the attacking forces are hanging in the air. Five hits in seven game days are absolute in the league record low. Van Gaal is a lot of work into the house. Maybe he listens to the words of Kahn and moves away from its current gaming system to stop the Bayern crisis.
