Bayern & Germany @iMiaSanMia

Bild tonight is running an insider story about the bad mood at Säbener Straße and the doubts surrounding Niko Kovač. Some interesting/worrying details in the next few tweets.

1. The James tantrum: James was fuming in the dressing room after the Ajax game. Among other things, he said: "We are not here in Frankfurt!" aimed at Niko Kovač. James was angry because he was benched and is said to be wanting to leave and that he will tell the coach.

2. Croatian instead of German: Niko Kovač speaks Croatian with his brother Robert, goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalović and Hasan Salihamidžić even when others are around. Many feel that it's disrespectful. Assistant coach Peter Hermann is not pleased.

3. Tactics: The players are missing a clear style of play like they had under Guardiola or Heynckes. Especially in attack, Kovač doesn't offer new things in his analysis. Instead, he seems to insist over and over again on where the centre-backs have to stand on the pitch.

lol

4. Rotation: The players don't have a problem with the rotation itself, but wit how Kovač executes it. They are concerned over the fair distribution of game time. Many players performed well then were put on the bench the next game (James after Schalke or Süle after Leverkusen)

5. Training, today's training session only lasted 52 minutes, although it was a normal training day. Players expected a hard day of work and preparation and were surprised that the session was not intensive.

point 5 sounds weird, the same media was all over the place when kovac introduced 2 hour training sessions and now he is like carlo all of a sudden?
i am kinda confused

1 and 2 are extremely worrying tbh, 3 has been rather obvious for everyone who watched the last 3 games

and about 4th
yes, kovac has used rotation for the sake of rotation and somebody should tell him that its ok when a player starts 2 or 3 games in a row

2 weeks ago we were invincible and the best team to walk on earth, now the team is trash and nothing works ^_^
