Coma 1,763 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I know I blasted Goretzka in another thread for his bad hair but I recently read that protesting at the Qatar Cup was his brain-child and that he was sour with his teammates for not taking a stand. I guess there was some dressing room drama between he, Neuer, and Kimmich and he got shouted down. This might have been from BILD or another questionable source, but if it was real then good for him. Much respect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,550 Posted January 23, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted January 23, 2023 The timing seems interesting at the very least. Alot of the rumours around Nübel not wanting to comeback was related to Tapalovic and his relationship with Neuer. Clearly this goes beyond that but intriguing nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,550 Posted January 24, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted January 24, 2023 The word is Sabitzer might be the one to be sold in the summer as the midfield has become more crowded. I like the signing though, actually the type of player we could use and offers something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine Neuer got chewed out behind the scenes, I also wonder if thats part of the Tapalovic thing as well. Either way Gnabry deserved it. We played on theFriday? and then on Tuesday in between he flies to fucking Paris? if he has a week off its one thing... He was also was shit against Köln. Unforunately nearly all of our chances funneled through him while he was bumbling around and not up to speed. Yeah theres definitely more issues at play its absolutely not all on him but thats a glaring problem in the middle of a string of tough performances.

A flight from Munich to Paris is just a bit over an hour... So he flies in the morning, attends some show, and then takes another flight home on the same day. How is that a problem, if he has a day off? Surely, it's his free time, and he has a right to decide how he spends it? As long as he's not drinking and partying for two nights straight or taking part in some dangerous or exerting activities, I don't see how would it be an issue? What if he wanted to visit family in Stuttgart which is over 2 hour trip by car, would Brazzo throw a fit too?... I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for Neuer's incident and Bayern's recent dip in form, nobody would have even mentioned it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,550 Posted February 3, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted February 3, 2023 Ill post this here but its almost just as much about the national team. Q&A with Rafa and Neuer. Ill post a couple blurbs; Neuer doesnt mince his words when talking about Tapalovic being dismissed, hes not happy. PS If anyone wants I have free trials for the paywall https://theathletic.com/4152853/2023/02/03/manuel-neuer-bayern-munich-germany/ The transfer of Sommer was one thing. But would it be right to say the dismissal of your long-time coach Toni Tapalovic was completely different? That blow hit me extremely hard. Who told you? I was told by the club officials. It came out of nowhere. For Toni too. I didn’t understand that at all. It really knocked me down. You are close friends as well as long-term collaborators. That makes this case all the more difficult. Toni was always a team player with us, everyone saw it that way. He wasn’t working for me for eleven and a half years, but for the entire goalkeeper group, for the coaching staff and for the club. We were always able to separate work and private life. I understand that it might sound like I’m not being objective or not believable, but I can really tell the difference. For me, that was a blow — when I was already down on the ground. I felt like my heart was being ripped out. It was the most brutal thing I’ve experienced in my career. And I’ve experienced a lot. What were you told was the reason for Tapalovic’s dismissal? There was no reason that I could comprehend. Things were said that I don’t agree with. Nothing I heard would have ruled out the possibility of people talking to each other and sorting things out. Do you think this was linked to (former Bayern keeper) Alexander Nubel’s claim that Tapalovic had not contacted him since he moved to Monaco (on loan in June 2021)? I cannot imagine that. Tapa was responsible for Nubel’s transfer to Bayern in 2020: he had seen Alex at Schalke at a time when no other club had really noticed him and recommended him to Bayern immediately. He worked for Alex as well as for me, for Sven Ulreich and (former Bayern keeper) Christian Fruchtl. In all these years I’ve never heard any coach say anything negative about Tony. Ask Pep Guardiola and his crew, or Carlo (Ancelotti) or Niko (Kovac). What was in your thoughts when that happened? Did you think Tapalovic’s dismissal was meant to hurt you? I thought about all sorts of things, also in terms of my future at the club. But the Bayern officials assured me that wasn’t the case. I said that I didn’t agree with the reasons put forward and I felt I was heard. Oliver Kahn wasn’t just talking about my reaction to Yann Sommer arriving, but also about the bigger picture. I think he liked the fact that I was strong, even though — I have to say it again — I was caught off guard and it hit me badly. It’s the club’s decision, I have to accept it. What does this story leave you with? A big disappointment. This is about the human side of things, the way a valued employee was treated. At Bayern Munich, we want to be different — a family. And then something happens that I have never experienced before. It’s a sad thing for everyone: for the club, for Tapa, the staff and all of the goalkeepers, including me. Nevertheless, I want to say: I’m a human being on one hand, and I’m a professional on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder whether it'll be the end of his career, or if he spend a few more seasons elsewhere. A return to Schalke would be pretty cool, tbh.
