Rummenigge: I have never seen a coach like Guardiola

It Went to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, a full life in the world of football, and four decades of association with Bayern Munich, but he emphasizes that he has not seen yet, "the phenomenon of" equivalent to the Spanish coach Josep Guardiola.

The vice president of the Bavarian club declared in an interview with the agency (d. B. A): "'ve never seen a coach like him. Soon, I will continue for 40 years," and added: "This name has an unnatural knack in the preparation of any team even the smallest detail: physically, tactically and mentally.”

With the approaching of the resolution of the league title and win the nomination for the German Cup, Bayern begins this week, the most difficult stage in the defense of his title in the Champions League, a tough visit to Arsenal in the first leg of the knockout tournament.

But Rummenigge believes that Guardiola's contribution goes beyond the sporting side: "it does not be a mistake to rely exclusively on the titles. For me the most important is what happens in the middle of the week training course."

Former international player does not hesitate to in the description of the Spanish coach as a "model."

He gave the example by saying: "He has a very clear plan for how to behave players, including outside the stadium. Moreover, there were things I really like in Barcelona: Players are not overbearing."

Rummenigge said that it has specific consequences "We have a level of popularity not enjoyed by Bayern never before," he said, adding that Guardiola " calls himself a lot, but it's also demanding that the players accompany him in that way.”

And the face on Wednesday brings fond memories for Rummenigge. English were Bayern rival last year in the first knockout round, and the win in the final to Borussia Dortmund has been in the British capital of London.

But the official club / 58 years / warns that Arsenal now stronger. He says, “Were not a year ago, and has chances of competing for the English Premier League, and now it has. They also moved strongly in the transfer market. Greater skill team.”

The game opening, which is one of the strongest confrontations knockouts, crucial stage of the tournament, which one wrong could cost Bayern the title?

Rummenigge demanded: "We have to face matches with skill and passion for the past year."

However, the defense of the historical triple in the league, cup and Champions League, which harvested Coach Jupp Heynckes, seems a distant goal: "We have to move round tour. Lisbon final is still far away."

But German football could be considered success of four of its clubs qualified to the knockout. Rummenigge believes that the trend will continue, “The Premier League is still the number one. But if the German clubs in this way, especially in the Champions League, we have a great potential to grab second place in UEFA from Spain.”

With regard to the probability of “Final German " as was the case last year between Bayern and Dortmund in London , Rummenigge appeared more cautious.

He asked: “Wembley lived in a historic event. We cannot believe that it will come automatically . From a global standpoint, Germany living a good moment. I do not know how a German team could reach the final of Lisbon.”
