Munich - The day after the boat-bomb. At Bayern they try to patch up into shreds torn club environment again. It seems hopeless at first, meaning the boat goes on.
Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld had their goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, after he had left the Christmas party two hours early and his colleagues criticized Franck Ribery and Luca Toni suspended and thunderstruck to 25,000 euros fine.
Hitzfeld now raging justifies its sanction: "He has set an example and to behave at the Christmas party is not correct. It can not be that a master home early or go somewhere else. He must exemplify the necessary respect for each other. Who should be called internally for discipline, if not the captain? "
Kahn's behavior for Hitzfeld is the straw that broke the camel's back. Internal breaches of discipline had recently taken upper hand. The General: "We need to stop that, otherwise we sond in the madhouse."
Perhaps Hitzfeld also sits already inside the madhouse. In winter, he now wants to even write a code of conduct for his players: "We have many young players who must be able to orient themselves."
Kahn now feels that the first consequences of surprise. Finally, they have praised him for years at Bayern, where he puts his fingers into the wound or with his behavior makes an early attention to abuses.
Six months before the end of career Hitzfeld has his keeper then pulled the tooth. Kahn: "It has nothing to do with a weakening of my person. I can understand the action, for such a good team is a sensitive structure, because every discipline must prevail. "
Franz Beckenbauer contrast, only shook his head: "Kahn's statements to Toni or Ribery be no reason to impute anything to him." Hitzfeld now wanted to strengthen his authority, may be that the shot backfires. He himself knows after the last few weeks about his situation: "It is clear that arise speculation."
