🗣️ المدرب السابق للمنتخب الألماني، يواخيم لوف، لا يمنح ألمانيا حظوظًا كبيرة للفوز بكأس العالم.
وفي بودكاست "Kroos & Kroos – World Cup Under the Microscope"، انتقد المدرب البالغ من العمر 66 عامًا أداء المانشافت قائلًا:
💬 "الفريق يمتلك جودة كبيرة، لكنه يفتقر إلى الاستمرارية المطلوبة للفوز بالألقاب. كثيرًا ما يسمح للمنافس بالعودة إلى المباراة."
وأضاف:
💬 "إذا نجحنا في الحفاظ على الاستقرار، وكسر مقاومة الخصم، وإظهار تركيز أكبر ووضوح أكثر في الأداء طوال 90 دقيقة، فسنكون ضمن المرشحين للفوز باللقب."
كما أشار لوف إلى افتقاد المنتخب الحالي لبعض الشخصيات القيادية:
💬 "أفتقد الشخصيات التي كانت لدينا في عام 2014. هذا يجب أن يتغير. يوشوا كيميش ومانويل نوير وحدهما لا يكفيان."
💬 "نحن بحاجة إلى عدد أكبر من القادة داخل الفريق. عندها فقط قد نكون أقوياء بما يكفي للفوز باللقب." 🇩🇪🏆

Niko Kovač advised Bayern against signing one of his own Dortmund players last year
How? Last summer, after Bayern failed to sign priority target Nico Williams, they turned to alternatives. One of them was Dortmund's Jamie Gittens. The supervisory board, including Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, was skeptical about the player. A club employee was tasked with contacting Niko Kovač to get an honest opinion from him about Gittens. Kovač is said to have made it more than clear that he considers the Englishman "not professional enough" to succeed at FC Bayern. The club then abandoned the pursuit of Gittens and went all in on Luis Díaz. Gittens ended up joining Chelsea

James Rodríguez recalls anecdotes about his time at Bayern in his new Netflix documentary
"In my first year, I was lucky that Carlo Anceloti and Jupp Heynckes spoke Spanish. In the second year, Kovac arrived. Every coach has his favourites, and I wasn't one of them. He wanted the players to do 30 minutes of cycling after training, I would say to him: 'What am I training for? Am I going to the Tour de France or what?' I'm a football player"
On German lessons: "I couldn't get through them, I kept falling asleep. I told him, 'I don't want to learn'"
This Bayern vs the Current Bayern, the old Bayern wins. Why? Old Bayern was way more balanced, they were not only a good attacking side, but also a very good defensive side. Old Bayern was the definition of a balanced system.
@jamesallcott It feels like intention and context need to be thrown away because they are too subjective and variable. Objectivity might be the only way forward. If it hits your hand in any capacity, give a handball. But even that seems too harsh and up for things like close range blocks.
@vcatalina96 2 years ago I would think there's no hope. Weirdly this time around I was quite calm. Still another leg to play but also still very open. I wasn't necessarily expecting a full 6-5 comeback but I was fairly confident that Bayern could at least do something to minimise the damage.
Andy Jacobs: "I've been told John Terry wanted to [take over until the end of the season], but they didn't want him. And they told him in no uncertain terms that he will never, ever get the job."
