Hitzfeld: “Pep? Only tactic”. Ribery ready for Ancelotti – La Gazzetta dello Sport

Pep goes away, leaving Bayern and Germany is divided into two. On the one hand there are those who are convinced that, as explained by the FAZ in recent days in a long article, the departure of Spanish is a major setback not only for the Bavarians, but for the German championship. On the other those who believes that losing Guardiola is not that bad. Among them is Ottmar Hitzfeld. Not just anyone, not just because Bayern won, among other things, five league titles and one Champions (2001), but because it is the only coach in football history to be become European champion with two different teams but the same country (the other is the Dortmund in 1997). And his criticism of Guardiola, once again, fierce.

PREVIOUS – Already in the summer in an interview with Kicker , Hitzfeld was very hard: “The most spoken language in the locker room of the Bayern must be German, not Spanish – he explained -. This trend, which is very recent in the history of the club, I do not like at all. ” The criticism was not far-fetched: last April, during Bayern-Eintracht, for the first time in the history of the Bundes a crew deployed four Spaniards simultaneously (Reina, Bernat, Xabi Alonso and Thiago Alcantara), and for the first time in its history the Bavarians had deployed four foreign players of the same nationality. Statistics enough to understand that the company has allowed Guardiola to do a complete make-up of Bayern, so fake it in his image and likeness, which was not permitted in these terms to its predecessors.
dig – Now, interviewed by Blick, Hitzfeld is even harder: “Pep is exclusively focused on tactics. It’s a monster of the day and night tactics that examines all possible situations in a game, but, with regard to interpersonal relationships did not focus on the team. Almost never has had individual interviews with players. It is closed in on itself, even to the media. ” But the criticism does not end here: “Bayern did not need to be sad to say goodbye. The Bavarians are a great club, which may take any other coach. Rummenigge has already explained in November: if a technician goes away, comes another one. Certainly not the end of the world. Bayern has no problem. ” Because Hitzfeld resizes the successes of Pep in Germany: “To date Heynckes is winning him. Guardiola, however, could still close with the treble, what successful predecessor “.
FUTURE – On Ancelotti Hitzfeld in previous rounds had seemed much more confident” He is a fox from the tactical point of view, has an excellent relationship with the players, has charisma … “. And Charley could also rely on Ribery, who Guardiola was missing a lot. The French, in an interview published on the club’s official website said its 2015: “I am very motivated. The 2-3 weeks when I was with the team have been really nice. This belongs to me. The important thing is that the ankle does not give me more trouble. Now I’m still a matter for muscle, it is a different situation. As soon as I return to the form I just need playing time. I was still nine months, no joke, it’s something that hurts. Watching the team from the stands is terrible, it was a brutal situation. The nice thing is that Bayern I’ve always been close. Between us there is something … “. It will be up to Ancelotti able to feed and exploit this spark.
