This Day in Football History

By: Jan | March 11th, 2008

March 11th, 2007. It was a Saturday and Bayern played at home against Werder Bremen. In the sixth minute Lukas Podolski opened the scoring with a simple tap-in from a Mark van Bommel cross. Markus Rosenberg equalised for Bremen in the 66th minute. It was the last time Lukas Podolski scored a goal in the Bundesliga. What a sad anniversary.

  Sigh. How he was one of those I had always look forward to see on the TV back then when the World Cup happened (as that was the first time I knew of him) and now…

  Yikes. I knew he’d been on a dry spell as of late, but 12 months? Wow.

  As well as he’s been doing in he UEFA games,hopefully some of that will cross over into the BuLi, but he’s got to get the playing time…

  I maintain that Bayern is simply a bad fit for him–because he will always get most of his goals in counter-attack situations, that is his game. So, when playing at Bayern, and watching many opponents drop all 11 into their own half to try to come out with a 1 point “victory”, he’s at a distinct disadvantage. Of course, playing time is an issue now, but it definitely wasn’t after Hitzfeld came in last season, and he didn’t score much even then. The paradox is, he becomes more valuable in the big competitions where clubs don’t show this sort of passive deference to Bayern. He probably stands to benefit the most from the regime change at the club.
