Hoffenheim 4-0: Robben and Ribery Bayern bring back the magic

Much has been speculation ahead of the game: Would the defeat of FC Bayern and Hoffenheim might mean already the end for coach Louis van Gaal? "Our goals are threatened," chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge warned the stadium issue, meanwhile, am haunted by the rumor Munich, the current DFB sport director Matthias Sammer ready for when the worst to take over the team.

As the 90 minutes had passed, had such ideas only as a phantom debate. Coinciding with the first attack, the Munich had turned to winning ways in the end it was 4-0. Of the result also gave it also inspired her, at times brilliant football is a strong argument for the controversial instructor from the Netherlands.

Especially since so can not help it that he presents on this 22nd could send Gameday for the first time his entire arsenal attack on the field. Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry - at least one of the two wings artists had always been injured. They are so "incredibly important for Bayern," as van Gaal said afterwards.

For the first time since the DFB Cup final in May, they played against Hoffenheim so together again, which could move Thomas Mueller on his ideal position behind the strikers. The 1-0? Fell in the 2nd Minute after a combination of, well, Ribery, Müller and seals. Mario Gomez enforced in the middle of his 17th Goal of the season.

And the magic triple line of Bayern went on the difference. Mueller took the ball to Isaac Vorsah and played with it Ribery free before Hoffenheim's goalkeeper Tom Starke. Although the Frenchman failed initially, but after continued and increased from the left touchline back to Mueller, who demonstrated all his creativity - all counted as one other player, he shot into the near post covered one (15).

Until the break it was 2-0 before that, a least in Cologne as treacherous standings for the FCB. After the 2:3 there van Gaal had unusually self-critical his own half-time speech questioned, now he was obviously the right words. "We were focused for 90 minutes," he summed up later, "it is long ago that this happened." Bayern dominated more so, with the first team very useful Robben still soared to two terrific individual performances.

First he went after a ball loss of the borrowed at Hoffenheim inimitable David Alaba from right inside and Strong were loaded by his low shot into the near post (63). Then he added this third added a fourth Bayern-connected, perfectly a clever pass from Ribery by (81) into the top corner curled.

"Incredible," the van Gaal said after his favorite word. "We have seen play like we can," he added. Now have his magician only stay healthy - and the evil spirits could be sold for good. The good spirits at Bayern in any event could not spoil a message of "mirror". Then Captain Phillip Lahm is the main accused in the football betting scandal to a close have been accused of betting mafia.

The validity, however, as very credible.
