“Hunger and will” only at BVB

Dietmar Hamann recognizes a serious problem at FC Bayern. Although they did well in the Champions League, there is a risk of complications in the summer due to Tuchel’s departure. The TV expert, on the other hand, believes Borussia Dortmund will win the premier class – also because of Marco Reus.
After the bitter 1-2 defeat against Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League, it is clear that FC Bayern will end a season without a title for the first time in twelve years. Ex-professional Dietmar Hamann assesses the situation of the German record champions and warns the club of a “not without danger”.
“In the cup it was disappointing to be eliminated so early against a third division team. In the league it is incredibly difficult to be at the top after 34 match days when you face a team that wins almost everything all year. And in the Champions League “They sold very well. It’s not a waste of time to have a season without a title,” the TV expert wrote in his “Sky” column.
“We know that when Bayern are struggling, they are always the most dangerous,” added the former Liverpool FC professional, but at the same time he also warned: “Nevertheless, it is not a safe situation, as they do not yet have a coach and possibly some players want to sell in order to carry out a mini-change in the summer.”
FC Bayern in a “troubled phase”, BVB with “hunger”
Hamann is therefore expecting a “very interesting summer” on Säbener Straße. Due to the search for a successor to the outgoing head coach Thomas Tuchel, which was marked by rejections, FC Bayern is currently in a “troubled phase”. This can only be ended with quick successes.
“There should be movement quickly in the next few days and weeks,” the 50-year-old continued in his column for the pay-TV channel. Who sports director Max Eberl will bring from the Isar as head coach is still completely open. Most recently, “Bild” reported that Manchester United team manager Erik ten Hag is no longer a coaching candidate. According to the tabloid, the former national coach is now a “hot candidate” for the German record champions. With Supervisory Board Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, Flick has two powerful advocates on the executive floor.
Hamann further wrote that he thought Borussia Dortmund would win the Champions League in the final against Real Madrid. “I saw a hunger and a will that makes it difficult for any team to beat BVB. I don’t think anyone will beat Dortmund anymore. I think they can do it,” said the former international.
“I’m always happy when a team that perhaps has less good individual players beats other teams with team unity. I think that gives BVB a great chance in the final,” explained Hamann, who also expects this to happen to BVB Marco Reus wanted to say goodbye with everything he could.
