Bayern Munich's Max Eberl underlines his desire to fine tune the ...
Fresh off witnessing new head Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany mastermind a thrilling 6-1 victory over newly promoted Bundesliga side Holstein Kiel, Max Eberl sat down with Sport1 Doppelpass to speak about several topics. One of those topics was Bayern’s incredible 11-year dominance of the Bundesliga, which ended this year by an unstoppable Bayer Leverkusen side. Now Bayern find themselves in the unfamiliar position of challengers to dethrone the king rather than the one looking down from the top of the pile. How much does that prompt a rethink?
Eberl was asked about the mistakes of the last years, including the many dissenting voices within the club, and how Eberl is going about fixing it amongst a possible rethink. @iMiaSanMia captured Eberl’s response: “Bayern Munich won the title for eleven years. Now that we were not champions last season, everything was viewed very, very critically. We are taking the blows head on and want to rebuild our train again. [What has made Bayern so great, a unity of quality and the capacities the club has, along with the decision makers at the club, we are trying to unite that.] Vincent Kompany will get the time for that - this is the statement from Bayern Munich, not from Max Eberl.”
It seems that, while Eberl is looking to correct some of the things that went wrong over the last few years that led to such dissonance and bring the whole organization together, he is against completely restructuring things from the ground up. After all, the club is far from a disaster. This is in stark contrast to the many reports that the former Borussia Mönchengladbach stalwart wants to stamp his own authority on the club and make things his own. Now is this the right decision? Just like Kompany, Eberl will need time to prove his way works.
