Interim Coach: Bayern Munich hopes to Jonker effect

Thomas Mueller had expected the question. It was bound to happen, because the circumstances now truly brings explosiveness. Although Müller these ideas are alien. On Sunday afternoon welcomes Bayern Munich Bayer Leverkusen. It is the first game in Munich's five-game boss Andries Jonker. That at its premiere just now succeeded Jupp Heynckes representations in Munich, may be those outside the Bavarian-cosmos is a fascinating story.

For Müller but it is not. "Well," Mueller said, therefore, tried to but at least "a little something special" in diplomatic style with which the conditions were probably so. "But does not count in the square, the opponent who sits on the bench." And anyway ". We are not in direct competition with Leverkusen" Nine points separate the fourth-Bayern from Bayer Second.

"For us it's for third place, in order to qualify for the Champions League," said Mueller. "We are only five games to end of season." This is the current era in Munich, it goes to 34 Game day. Everything else, including her speedy instructor Heynckes, "is first of all uninteresting. This allows us to employ it, "said striker Mario Gomez.

Until then, they hope in Munich on the Jonker effect. Since last Sunday commanded the 48-year-old FC Bayern, he rose from assistant coach of the now ousted Louis van Gaal to the boss on time. His vision, Jonker had already divulged on Monday in perfect German, I look like this: On 14 May he wanted to come home and sit contentedly on the couch.

For this feeling, "we must have the third place. There have also been those Champions League considerations that led it to personnel changes, at least it says Jonker Sun Against Leverkusen, is again the veteran Joerg Butt (36) in place of Thomas Kraft (22) are at the gate. Now that castling is coming to the expressions of resentment the club superiors not particularly surprising.

"With the goalkeepers went off the shit," President Hoeness on Sunday had rumbled in its submissions to the furloughed van Gaal and quite clearly made it clear he expected the consequences of Jonker. "The chance for third place with Jorg Butt is currently greater," said Jonker now in the spirit of his bosses and told of his "good talks" with force, which he praised as "very good and professional types" and he had a large future predicted.

"But Butt is a very experienced goalkeeper. He knows exactly what is expected of him in this situation. "Anyway, Jonker has tried to trim his family in one week on defensive after all the deficiencies in the immune network in the past few months. It is not only the use of butter, Jonker has announced that they Anatoli Timoschtschuk degraded under van Gaal to backup central defender, is on Sunday his real profession as a defensive midfielder to exercise power.

"But we are not catenaccio team," said Jonker. "We can not, and I will not." Anyway, he did not want to do everything differently. "Not develop players and a new philosophy" that he will bring in five games remaining, everyone knows, so Jonker. He will be playing against Leverkusen in the next van Gaal'schen 4-2-3-1-system, even if he still can not assign each position a player: "There are so many question marks, I do not know who can play" he said.

Arjen Robben and Holger Badstuber must match locked. The use of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery is as vacant as the two central defender Breno and Daniel van Buyten. "But I will find a solution," Jonker said yet. It was conspicuous by which emotional ups and downs he has gone this week.

On Monday, even though mediated Jonker had a resolute but also depressed impression. He was "not happy" he had said that he inherit his mentor, Van Gaal, he had prior to his promise or asked for his approval. Yesterday, when he appeared in a cozy outfit track suit, tennis socks and slippers in his first press round before a game, he was released and cleared agreeable.

It took me two days to collect his thoughts, he said. To van Gaal and he had no contact since then. "But our relationship will remain good." It is above all details that have changed in the first week, according to van Gaal, which should help to strip the professionals, the "straitjacket" that Hoeness wanted to recognize.

This is most noticeable to outsiders, the new tone, the anti-authoritarian "tu" form, which has kept on the practice range at the Säbener road feeder. The players Andries say to him. "We have also made when he was still coach," said Gomez. But also of "new level" (Timoschtschuk), even of "optimism" (Philipp Lahm) is the speech.

"We first had to get a clear head, have done much to bring the fun back in, many forms of play," said Mueller. Given the turbulent week, including another coaching change came only to issues side note: Tomorrow's match is the first home match in Munich to the hostility of the fans against their own president.

Hoeness was vilified as a liar two weeks ago against Mönchengladbach of the curve. Tomorrow in any case will the pro-Hoeneß fraction are active. On the Internet, they campaigned for their actions. And in the club's magazine they drum properly for their president. Board boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has about can print an open letter to the fans.

"We must stand together," he writes. It is probably the most common phrase in Munich these days, well off the Fanproblematik. "We must present ourselves as a unit. Mia san mia! Mia san and a FC Bayern! "
