On Monday, as I opened up my Soccernet application on my phone, I was patently dismayed by the first two headlines:
CAS Reject Ribery Appeal
Ballack Out of World Cup
Damn, damn, damn.
And while the first- although there was a smidge of hope- was expected; the second absolutely floored me! Say it ain't so!
I had two matches to watch on Saturday; the FA Cup final, pitting Chelsea against Portsmouth, and, of course, the DFB Pokalendspiel with FC Bayern absolutely demolishing a hapless Werder Bremen. (In hindsight, does anyone else think the final scores would've belonged to the opposite matches? You know, where Chelsea destroys Portsmouth 4:0, and we sneak past Bremen?)
But, as this is my Bayern blog, and not my Germany one, I'll concentrate on the latter.
Is the 63rd minute goal, against Bremen, by Franck Ribery, to be his last in a Bayern uniform? Two months ago, I would've said, "Absolutely." Errrrr... Franck-ly speaking, I'm kind of tired of writing about him. With the whining about not getting on with van Gaal, to the complaining about how cold it is in Germany, and the obnoxious-ness of his agent - his constant injuries, the blue boot saga, and... the small matter of an underage prostitute.
And, although the drama has given me many things to write about this season, I'd rather not.
However, the big boys at Bayern are sticking behind him. With their multiple appeals to UEFA and the CAS to remove Ribery's 3-match ban, they may be winning him over to stay in red and white next season... and beyond.
Now, there's no denying the Frenchman's talent, but I've got to admit I would've been relieved to see him go. And would've been more than happy to see the wunderkind, Toni Kroos, return to die Roten starring in Franck's spot. However, the lure of a possible treble winning team, I would think, would be enough to see him stay in Munich. You know, despite the crap weather and all...
Author's note: I would've had this done a bit earlier, but everytime I hop on the computer I start watching youtube videos about Bayern. Someone might be a bit obsessed... Also, I'll be writing one from Madrid on Friday, and am wondering if any of my readers will be in Spain for the match? If so, I'd love to get together!

Sucie, i almost share your dreams but as a Bayern fan i think having both Franc and Kroos togather in the team would make us stronger and competitive, we will have greater depth in the squad and no player would feel arrogant or complacent. You always give me aspirin with your article i would love to have picture of you specially sent to my mail kamalqz2003@yahoo.com, i'm not flirting, just hungry of your pen ability. keep it up susie we love you.

cute, its always better to flirt with a bayern fan then anyone else but the true love is 4 fc bayern. im sure susie is beautiful but to see a bayern match in person, esp a final, is better then any date anywhere, with anyone. Period. Ive said it many times to everyone i dated, id take a bayern match in person any day over any date with them-not 2 many went well after that i might add...

Since we're speaking "Franck-ly", I think Bayern this season has coped well as a team without Ribery and I see no difference in the upcoming CL final. I also don't think he has yet to hit top form so far this season even when he played, kind of like only a shadow of his old self. In the end, I don't really care whether he stays or not. If he decides to leave, well good luck to him and hopefully Bayern will get a excellent replacement in return. One wishful thinking, Bayern should sell Ribery to Barcelona for cash and Bojan Krkic. That's a fine young player!

You'll be in madrid !! Lucky you ! Well i wish i can be there but dreams don't always come true ! Anyway .. Yes ribery was the drama king this year.. but i believe bayern should keep him with toni kroos playing as a play maker in a 4-2-3-1 system! Great article as usual..Thank you Susie..Keep up the good work !

Oh, I forgot to talk about Ballack out of the World Cup. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise for Germany. Don't get me wrong, Ballack is an important player for Germany with his experience and leadership but there's nothing anyone can do with his injury. I just think it actually solves the midfield dilema for Joachim Loew. I once read an article from another site commenting how Schweini's excellent performance for Bayern as a central defensive midfielder, which is similar to Ballack's position, presented a headache for Loew's midfield selection. Should Loew put Schweini back to his previous wing position or play him along side Ballack? But now that Ballack's out of the equation, we know Schweini can officially take over Ballack's positon in the centre of midfield for Germany in the World Cup.

Does any one else think it's hilarious that Ribery was moaning about Champions League progress in the round of 16, the big saga of him leaving if they didn't progress? Well, look, they progressed (without his help), they're in the final, and now he can't play in it? Karma's a b, huh?
|
Posted by slavetojackel on 05/20/2010
Bayern look strong enough without Ribery... I heard they are bidding for Park Ji Sung ..(Man Utd)..He'll be a terrific buy for Bayern if they do get him to Bavaria..his work rate is unbelievable , as good as Olic and he's getting better with his finishing as well... Hope Bayern win @ Madrid.. somebody has to shut up Mouinho
|
Posted by Joel on 05/20/2010
Park Ji Sung? Ha ha ha. If ever there was a very average player, he's it.

Posted by vinesh Prasad on 05/20/2010
sumbody was talking about karma......ribery gets young rafael red card and then got one himself.....now thats karma...maybe it was your last chance to play a CL final and sorry u not there hahaha

i think ribery is important to the squad.. good luck to him if he leaves, but the way he spreads out the opponents in defence and gives robben more room to move.. hope altintop gets a run, he deserves it.. played well against United, and against Lyon.. Go Bayern!! wrap it up so i can shut up all my man u supporting mates!!

Posted by fassy on 05/20/2010
i dont agree with u susie on franck leaving but i guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. cant wait for the game to begin and i hope fc bayern can beat inter!
|
Posted by va4bayern on 05/20/2010
ribbery is good for bayern and the bundesliga in that he raises the profile of both. But he is a bit of drama, and if we can do an owen hargreaves with him and sell him for a ton of money only to have his form or injuries hamper him for years thats good too. Its much better if we devolope kroos. Bayern needs to have the standout german player again, and he could be it. I say dont bother with ji song and take viddic instead and offload van buytan and get another keeper, those r the areas we need most help in
|
Posted by Andre on 05/21/2010
Munich has confirmed that Ribery is staying untill 2015 :) Nice blog btw.
|
Posted by Shekhar on 05/21/2010
I read somewhere that Van Gaal wants Toni Kroos to play the playmaker's role next season rather than the Left Wing position.
|
Posted by Andre on 05/21/2010
I am sorry but I have a kind of off-topic question because I havn´t found a possibility to send a inquiry. Is there a chance to get a Borussia Dortmund blog? They made it back to the Euro League and regaining strenght. It would be great to have the chance to follow them on ESPN soccernet.
|
Posted by yaroyesthatone on 05/21/2010
Funny how I think Inter will win the final, but if u were to ask me to predict the scoreline I would say 1-0 to Bayern! :-|
P.S. Not that ur midfield isn't great this season, but with Frank staying and Kroos probably coming back someone just might have the sickest midfield in the world! ;-)

Posted by Eissman on 05/21/2010
Given the fact that Franck Ribery has suffered the worst season on and off the pitch in his current tenure at FC Bayern, I don't think this is something that will be repeated again. His prior two seasons he was simply World Class. The injuries that nag him all season in 09-10 were very uncharacteristic, and keep him from hitting full stride all season. Matter of fact, it truly wasn't in my opinion until the DFB Pokal final versus Werder Bremen that he finally gave us a typical Franck display that Bayern fans had become accustomed to.
This is a good sign.
Franck, if he remains healthy and sorts out his off field issues, will return to form under the tutelage of one Louis Van Gaal. The team chemistry is at a high, and even with wunderboy Toni Kroos returning, Bayern look to become even more formidable in 2010-11!
Now if we can sort out that centerback issue...
Die Roten.... FC BAYERN!!!!

Yeah, those damn centre backs! Cost us the UCL title.
