The self-destruction of the record champion reached a new high this weekend. The departing CEO Oliver Kahn (53) was not even allowed to travel to Cologne for the season finale. First because of the flu, later because the divorce was not amicable. An unparalleled insult when you consider what the former world-class goalkeeper has done for the club.
The second personal victim, Hasan Salihamidzic (46), was allowed to come along, but felt sorry for them. First he suffered in the stands until the final whistle in Dortmund, then he did not have to comment on the championship title for the journalists, but on his release.
The timing of the release of the two raises questions. Even before the last game had been played, the club had come clean with the assumption of its first titleless season since 2012. In case of failure, the culprits would have already been there. That chairman Herbert Hainer (68) explicitly said after the unexpected title win that he waited until after the game to communicate in order not to jeopardize the sporting goal, is a travesty. Unlike the team, he and his colleagues clearly no longer believed in the title.
Hainer and Co. however, reckoned without BVB, who missed a game-changing opportunity. In Munich, despite winning the title again, there was only one topic afterwards: rolling heads on the floor. An unprecedented communicative faux pas, which is also disrespectful towards coaches and players and was rightly criticized by captain Joshua Kimmich (28) of the German national team. The protagonists were deprived of the rewards of the season, which they successfully ended thanks to their kind help, the emotions in the moment of triumph. Despite the championship trophy, there are practically only losers. That alone shows how much the Bayern world has come apart at the seams in recent months.
Sommer one of the few winners
One of the few winners is Yann Sommer (34). Nati’s goalkeeper crowns his career with a German championship title. It’s a well-deserved reward for taking on the challenge last winter. And more than a consolation for the difficult past months. Should the adventure at Bayern end in the coming weeks despite a contract until 2025, Sommer can leave Munich with his head held high and as a winner.
Like many others, he lost his fat in the second half of the season. The national goalkeeper was denied world-class stature, lack of height was criticized. As if Bayern didn’t know what they had in store for the summer. Apart from a few uncertainties and the two goals against Hoffenheim and Mainz, he did his job as almost always in his career: excellent. He was also not without flaws against Cologne, but miraculously bounced a header over the crossbar after an hour.
The wrong culprit was found in the Swiss keeper. Recent weeks have shown that the problems in Munich are much more complex. Bayern did just about everything wrong in the second half of the season by unnecessarily sending Julian Nagelsmann (35) off when they were on track in all three competitions. The fact that they were rewarded with the championship title is also a sign of the weakness of the competition. Although the Bundesliga is a very attractive product that is marketed very well and is accompanied by a lot of media commotion, the competition continues to lose quality in terms of sport.
Neuer’s injury as the origin of the theatre
In the end, Manuel Neuer (37) kept the bowl up in Cologne. That the captain, who was injured for a long time, did this, fits in with this season, which has gone completely badly in public. In the end, it was Neuer who, with his unprofessional attitude and thoughtless ski touring after the botched World Cup in Qatar, started the whole discussion.
Now long-time CFO Jan-Christian Dreesen (55) is taking over, meaning Uli Hoeness (71), the father of the club, will once again have more influence over the day-to-day running of the club – if it ever diminished. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (67) should also return, which would bring the old management team back together. The question is for how long. However, it is naive to believe that this will return peace to Munich. For once, even a tried and tested remedy doesn’t help: winning a title.
