Here The New Team...

Bayern, one og the rich club at Europe football - swoop in to make overall changes after 2006-07 disastrous season(just only not make it to the Champions League)... Rummenigge hint last season that the club will be invest more than 100 million dollar to pay their sin to the fans...

Now, the buying is just complete for Ottmar Hiztfield which has 7 new players....

Defender
Buy : Marcell Jansen...
This is good buy, after this Bayern will have group of fullbacks like another big club... Jansen (x B. Mönchengladbach) is star in the making for germany that will share same position with Philip Lahm...

Midfielder
Buy : Hamit Altintop, Ze Roberto, Jan Schaudraff, Jose Sosa & Franck Ribery...
- This new season will be tough for opponent to control midfield, Altintop (key player for Turkey) have strong ability to be like Bayern Legend, Stefan Effenberg...
- Ze Roberto, one of player that win Champions League 2001...
- Sosa, provide creativity of South American style...
- Jan Schlaudraff, more to attacking player who have high-energy level & may be a goal getter...

- & there he come, Franck Ribery, the most popular & big name player that take Bayern Offer rather than any other rich club... He is like Zidane but with speed, tough, skill full & strong enough to beat any great defender around the world like he prove at the World Cup Germany 2006...
- Want more... emmmm... average of bayern player will be 24 @ below... Young Gun will be core of next generation of Bayern Munchen... - Schweinsteiger (22), Lahm (23), Andreas Ottl (22) and Lukas Podolski (22)

Striker
Buy : Luca Toni & Klose...
- Luca Toni form my opinion is much like Batistuta (my fav player of all time), too little things to find different between them... tough physical, strong in the air, etc...
- Klose, prolific striker who always at the right time at the right place... He's header became nightmare to goalkeeper... Has ability to dribble the defender...

Goalkeeper
Buy : No one...
- This is icon, Oliver Kahn, no one can take his place... But, he already said that this new season will be the last... So, Chance for Michael Rensing to shine & show that he is succesor to Oli Kahn... & Don't worry, Germany have so many talented goalkeeper, so Bayern didn't needed to take much concern...

Eric Cantona is most known for his skill on the soccer field. Starring at Old Trafford, Manchester United's homeground, Cantona got the nickname "The King". The controversial striker has been praised as the one who brought back the trophies to one of the world's most famous soccer clubs. Cantona is well-known for being banned from playing soccer for 8 months after kicking a fan during a match. His career at Old Trafford was like a marriage: filled with passion, and turbulent.

And just as shocking as his arrival, was his departure. Out of the blue, Man Utd called for a press conferance during the summer of 1997 announcing Cantona's retirement. He felt it was time to concentrate on acting and painting. The controversial Frenchman is a gifted individual, who always will go his own ways.

Stefan Effenberg...

Pemain: Stefan Effenberg
Warganegara: German
Tempat Lahir: Hamburg, Germany
Tarikh Lahir: 02 OGOS 1968
Tinggi: 188 cm
Berat: 88 kg
Pasukan Kebangsaan: Germany
Kelab Sekarang: Al-Arabi (Kuwait)
Posisi: Central Midfielder

Stefan Effenberg. Bagi aku, nama Stefan Effenberg sinonim dengan zaman gemilang samada di dalam sejarah Bayern Munchen dan juga Jerman sebagai 'Natural Leader'. Dia pemimpin, rajin, bervisi, mempunyai tackle keras dan juga tendangan padu...

Effenberg memang seorang yg 'Natural-Born Leader' dengan kebolehan untuk membawa & juga menjadi inspirasi kepada rakan sepasukan ketika saat-saat genting & tegang. Sesuai dengan gelarannya yg diberi rakan pasukannya, 'Big Boss'.

Pada aku, dia seorang player yang betul-betul bagi effect pada permainan Bayern Munchen pada 90an sampai la awal tahun millenium. Walaupun nama besar menggantikannya, seperti Ballack, memang tak dapat menyamai kebolehannya ketika pasukan memerlukan.

Dia ke Bayern Munchen drpd Borussia Mönchengladbach pada 1990 dengan usia 22,tapi tak berapa menjadi & tiada anugerah yang kemudiannya dia bhijrah ke kelab lain. Tetapi ketibaan kali ke-2 pada 1998 ke Bayern menjadi lambang kejayaan dengan menjadi 'starring role'.

Hitzfeld memang tak sembunyikan keinginan untuk memiliki Effenberg kembali. Salah satu katanya yang menjadi ingatan, "Stefan Effenberg leads this team, many of my players come to life when he's around. He goes up to his team-mates and instil confidence. When others are looking for a hiding place, that's when Effenberg steps forward,".

Ottmar Hitzfeld telah tetapkan dari hari pertama lagi di Bayern ketika itu, untuk membina pasukan melalui Effenberg. Effenberg membayar segala kpercayaan Ottmar dengan persembahan yang luarbiasa & dengan rekod, antaranya menang Bundesliga 1999, 2000 dan juga yang paling utama, Champions League 2001.

Pada 5 May 2002, ketika menghadapi game akhirnya dengan Bayern mlawan Hansa Rostock, 63, 000 penykong Bayern memberi 'Standing Ovation" dengan sepanduk besar spanjang 20 meter , "Milan 2001, we'll never forget! Thanks Effe!".

Dia adalah kapten pasukan ketika menjuarai Champions League (UEFA Champions League) pada 2001 itu. Tahun itu juga, beliau memenangi anugerah UEFA Champions League Most Valuable Player.

Pasukan Kebangsaan...

Effenberg memenangi hanya 35caps untuk negaranya & jaringkan 3 gol... Dia akan sntiasa diingati sebab dgantung ketika world Cup 94 di USA kerana mnunjukkan isyarat lucah kpd pnyokong Jerman sendiri. Berti Vogts & DFB tiada pilihan lain kcuali mnyingkir dia dari kejohanan itu. Jerman juga tersingkir awal di pringkat suku akhir ke tangan Bulgaria tanpanya.

Sampai sekarang, perbuatannya tu dipanggil sebagai "showing / doing the Effenberg".

Enzo scifo..

Vincenzo "Enzo" Scifo

Here is one of the player that i respect the most...Enzo Scifo...

Vincenzo "Enzo" Scifo (born February 19, 1966) is a Belgian football midfielder. Scifo was proved himself an highly promising talent in youth football. Originally Italian born by Italian parents, Vincenzo Scifo was nicknamed the 'Little Pele' after scoring 432 goals in only four seasons as a junior.

He joined the Belgium side La Louviere aged 14 but soon transferred to R.S.C. Anderlecht, first team debut in 1983.

He decided to play internationally for Belgium in 1984, International debut in 1984 against Yugoslavia. He moved to Inter Milan in 1987 but did very poorly, soon moving to Girondins Bordeaux in 1988 where he again disappointed.

His career was revived by a successful move to AJ Auxerre in 1989, which led to a return to Italy with A.C. Torino in 1991. He then moved to AS Monaco (1993) before ending his career with his first club, Anderlecht (1997).

He retired in 2000 after being diagnosed with chronic arthritis. He tried his hand at coaching with Charleroi SC, joining them for the 2000-01 season. Indifferent results led to his resignation in June 2002.


WORLD CUP GLORY...

In 1986, Belgium surprised many by reaching the semifinals of the World Cup in Mexico, and Scifo contributed a great deal to their success. He played in all the seven games and scored two goals. Anderlecht could not stop him from taking the big step to the Serie A in 1987.

By the time the 1990 World Cup started in Italy, many expected Belgium to emulate their achivements of four years earlier. Scifo scored a magnificent goal against Uruguay in the first round, but England scored a last minute winner in extra-time of the second round which meant Belgium were eliminated much sooner than they had hoped for.

Reunion : 1967 Cup Winners Cup heroes

42 years have passed since Bayern began their ascent from humble origins to become Germany’s most successful club. The men in red followed their 1965 elevation to the Bundesliga with victory in the DFB German Cup the following season, before adding the club’s first European trophy to the display cabinet just 12 months after that, when Bayern defeated Glasgow giants Rangers 1-0 after extra time in Nuremberg on 31 May 1967 to claim the European Cup Winners Cup.

Almost exactly 40 years to the day of that momentous event, the heroes of 1965-67 were invited by the Bayern Presidential Committee to a reunion at the Paulaner Nockherberg tavern, where the list of those present naturally included household names such as Sepp Maier, Gerd Müller and Franz Beckenbauer.

Present at the reunion: Gustl Starek, Gerd Müller, Adi Kunstwadl, Hubert Windsperger, Rudi Grosser, Hans Rigotti, Hermann Landerer, Peter Kupferschmidt, Hans Nowak, Karl Schneider, Josef Röckenwagner, Manfred Mokosch, Franz Beckenbauer, Sepp Maier, Dieter “Mucki” Brenninger, Jakob Drescher and Werner Olk.
