I was also amused to learn that in the short time he's been at Inter, he's already managed to piss off Juve's coach.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yes he has. Now we're just taking bets on how long it takes for him to get into it with Spalletti (Roma's coach, and possibly the only other coach in Serie A with an ego to match Mourinho's).

[txorakeriak]

*LOL* Oh yes, I'm so looking forward to that! :D

[stern_suedens]

Thanks for creating such a wonderful summary of a, well, interesting evening

[txorakeriak]

Ah good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. I hope the Bayern officials finally realise that it was a mistake to let Schlaudraff go. Of course, things are better for him at Hannover, but we should have gotten us some replacement for him. A striker who doesn't have any national team ambitions and is just glad to help out. We got someone like that for our goal, it can't be too difficult to find a striker!

I hope Klinsi will include Kroos more in training and teach the other players to accustom to his passing, because that's exactly the way I want them to play.

strangely enough with 5 defensive players they were a whole lot more offensive than usual. Exactly!! The three centrebacks were like a wall in the back (and Lucio could finally go on the excursions he loves so much without causing damage), so Lell and Lahm could advance as they pleased and didn't have to run back and forth so much. I was a bit disappointed when Klinsmann had to change his strategy because of Micho (don't think the collision was too bad, but Micho

Thanks for the match report :) I missed the game as I couldn't get a stream.

Oh, and I see that Demichelis was subbed at the 21st minute. Was there anything wrong?

[txorakeriak]

Aw, I'm sorry! I taped the game, maybe I could upload it for you if you want? Would take a while, though.

I don't think there was much wrong with him. He collided with Adriano and limped a bit afterwards, and I guess Klinsmann took him out because he didn't want to risk anything. He should be fine, though. Muscle strain, they said on TV.

[niloo88]

It's OK :) But if you see any vids on YT, could you link me?

Yeah, I trust Kilnsmann. And he'll be fine if it's only a muscle strain.

[txorakeriak]

I don't visit YT too often, but if anyone on my flist posts any videos, I'll definitely link you to them. :)

What a fantastic report! I wish they had shown the match here. Maybe they will later on. Sometimes they do delay these things a few days. Hahahahahaha @ Jose pissing other coaches off already! He really is a special one (I cannot believe I said that!)! LMAO.

I love I'm on Setanta Sports!

OMG! I have no new Micho/Bayern icons!!!!:(

Never mind. I'm just going to post a picspam of Jose Sosa and in it are going to be some mind-boggling awesome, sexy pics of Jose and Micho together!!!!! You've probably already seen them, but we'll find out!

[txorakeriak]

If the match isn't shown, I could upload it if you want. :)

José SO is the Special One! :D I'm over the moon that he's finally with a club I like. XD

I'll try to make new icons as soon as I get good new pics! Unfortunately, the photographers at Bayern's preseason friendlies tend to focus on other players... :/

Whee, I'm so excited about that picspam! *bounces*

Am I the only one who thinks that we have a striker problem? Toni is injured, Klose is lightyears away from his best form, Podolski seems to be on strike (he's doing so badly that I've come to believe it's deliberate)
Can I just say that I love you. Like whoa. I am so tired of Podolski playing like crap when it's obvious that he can play better.

van Buyten was great. I thought he did a fantastic job and Lucio better watch out because he could easily bench him if Klinsmann is paying attention.

I'm going to have to send some van Bommel love your way ;P

I can't wait for Franck to come back. I think he is terribly missed in the team.

[txorakeriak]

The shots he took on goal... *facepalm* So bad. He can totally do better, so why isn't he doing better?

Oh yes, van Buyten was absolutely brilliant. One of our best players last night, definitely. I'm so proud of his attitude, and I'm glad Klinsmann appreciates his effort and rewards him for it by playing him.

Aw, I'm sorry! :/ I'm worried that the captain issue concerns him more than it should and takes his mind off helping his team on the pitch. He used to deliver such well-aimed, precise distance shots, but these days all his shots go far up into the stands. *sigh*

[aletta]

I know. I don't understand it at all. We know how he can play when he wants to, but it's just like he gets this attitude that he doesn't want to be at Bayern so he's just not going to give them the effort. I had hoped that would change under Klinsmann, but so far I am not pleased.

van Buyten was amazing and I just want to kiss the film crew for the gratutious shirtless shot at the end of the match. The man is bloody gorgeous on top of being brilliant on the pitch. I love that he is trying so hard and is finally being given the chance to show how much he is worth to the defensive line

[txorakeriak]

Oh damn, why did I turn the telly off after the match? *cries* I so would have loved to see shirtless!Dani again! I fail. :(

I love that he is trying so hard and is finally being given the chance to show how much he is worth to the defensive line.
Exactly! It was about time for that!

*hugs* I'm glad you're not mad at me. And yeah, I hope they'll get this problem solved soon for the sake of the team. I hope Klinsmann will encourage van Bommel to take shots on goal so he can redevelop his skill for that! I know he has it, but he seems to have forgotten about it a little after Hitzfeld told him to stay back.
