Philipp Lahm Takes a Cue From the Animal Kingdom
By: Jan | 3 Comments
Surrounded by Bayern players chained together for reasons only known to Jupp Heynckes, Philipp Lahm does the smart thing and pretends to be dead until the predators lose interest in their prey, then he quickly gets up and escapes. Stuttgart defenders take note.
The whole training session can be seen here.

I think we’ve got the basics about Bayern Munich’s new coach covered now and when you feel ready to plunge in medias res, you can head over to the Bayern Munich Offside and join a lively discussion about his philosophy, control freakishness, tactics, player sales and signings etc.

Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Great Last Minute Escape
By: Jan | 1 Comment
When it all comes down to it, it doesn’t matter how they did it.
