Magath vs Neuer - round two (and Benni breaks my heart, and not in the good way)

Oct 04, 2010 13:41

So after a couple of weeks ago Neuer had hinted he is unhappy with Magath, like a true (half) Puerto-Rican the coach did not stay quiet for long and after the 2-1 lost this past Saturday hinted that it was Neuer's fault.

He said / He said.... )

Once again, I must say I abhor google translations. *sigh* The jumbled sentence structure gives me a headache. *goes to read the source articles*

I'd much rather read a proper translation, if you could make one it would be great!

Huh. Yeah. Could squeeze one in. Gets my mind off writing that crazy soccer-fic that two friends got me started on yesterday (in German, total crack, but I'm having a lot of fun...page 14). Give me half an hour, 'kay? Doing the Neuer article first...

Non-Google translation of Neuer article jimaine42 October 4 2010, 13:14:36 UTC
I have a somewhat more elegant translation of the article regarding "Duckie" Neuer (Google *SUCKS ( ... )

sigh, I do not understand this team. Why was the performance with Benfica really good, and then it totally fell apart again?

Although magath is blaming teh players, surely he is partly to blame as well. Isn't it part of the coach and his managing team's job scope to motivate players and get them in a right place psychogically, get them to focus, etc??

and are our team strategies and weakness so obvious that each team in BL can easily cut through it?

Wonderful talent like Neuer, Farfan, Huntelaar, Raul, Rakitic, are wasting away in a poorly-performing team.

*facepalm*

is there anyway out

And now everyone wanna take Manu away...

I really dislike Magath even more (oh god is that even possible?) now that he blamed the players. I mean, have some class will you?

Maybe the player were thinking of their NTs (I still think it was a stab at Neuer), but it's not your first time as coach, it's your job to make sure they're not looking for an international game to make them feel better about the club which paying their wages and they spend more time at!!

I don't think there is anything to do apart from paying for the mistakes he did with the transfers. I would like it if he would at least settle on a defensive line-up and let them get familiar to each other already.

our defence was perfect against Benfica.. SERIOUSLY. or maybe Benfica was having an off day again. I don't get what changed so drastically.

It's so sad that our attackers Raul, Farfan and Huntelaar are on form (or improved) during the majority of the games and the midfield and defence is dead.

I was just kinda thinking... "Hey Magath not too bad, maybe he saw something in the long term that we didn't." after the 3 games where we didn't lose.

And now all this animosity btwn Magath and the players, clearly is not helping at all!!!!!!! And of course Neuer already kinda showed his opinion about Magath at the start with the Kleine Gruppe fan t-shirts....

Papa was on fire against Benfica, seriosuly on fire, I haven't watch enough actual footage from the last game so I don't know how did on that game, but for an 18yo to be inconsistent wouldn't be a big surprise.

Also, Benni is not a RB! Stop making him feel like shit by playing him out of his position! Or, if you wanna try someone else at CB at least let him be back-midfield or something.

And I really feel clueless right now. What is the story with the Kleine Gruppe? Is it the story as the ticket price, something about them not meeting/talking with the fans about it?

Yeah sure, I'll correct it (I actually went over the article and changed every 'new' to Neuer, but forgot to check the title...)

I didn't hear he fined Ivan and Jones, what for (exactly)? He's really getting on my last nerve, I never liked him anyway and now all of this...

I do somewhat agree about Neuer, though it isn't really anything new (he said before the season started that he might be looking for another team if they didn't make it to the CL this season), it can't be good for the team to hear it.

WHAAAAT? Ok, i think this authoritarian/dictator-ship coaching style is not working.

You look at Tuchel and Klopp, their teams are doing well and I can sense wonderful rapport between the players and the coach.
JUST SAYING. I actually dunnoe, my humble opinion.

That's true about Capt Neuer, talking openly about leaving especially when the team is down. Kinda like Dzeko and Wolfsburg hmmm... But maybe it's a warning at Magath to kinda find a solution or try to work things out between the team. I don't know if it's possible.

Why is Schalke unable to fire him?
