Iâd still fancy them to win the tie.
[SIZE=5]Bayern Munich medical staff quits following loss to FC Porto[/SIZE]
Bayern Munich have had serious injury problems the last couple years. Right now in particular as they went into the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match against FC Porto with just 14 healthy outfield players. It was a match that Bayern Munich lost 3-1 in embarassing fashion. However, the fallout from that loss has carried over to the Bayern Munich medical staff who, lead by Dr. Hans Wilhelm MĂźller-Wohlfahrt resigned today with immediate effect.
Joining the long serving Bayern Munich doctor â he has been the team doctor since 1977 â were three of his staff citing criticism from the club.
âAfter FC Bayern MĂźnchenâs Champions League match against FC Porto, the medical division was made primarily responsible for the loss for inexplicable reasons.â - translation from Sueddeutsche
Dr. MĂźller-Wohlfahrt has been an institution at Bayern Munich. In some ways, and in some circles, heâs synonymous with figures like Uli HoeneĂ as a Bayern Munich legend. Now heâs gone.
As to the implications regarding their statement in that the club scapegoated the medical team for Bayern Munichâs loss yesterday in the Champions League, thereâs not a whole lot to say. Thatâs a very serious accusation. The club has yet to comment on the situation at this time.
Here he is mocking the 72 year old Doctor and Bayern legend in a Cup game against Leverkusen recently
This doesnt appear very good for Guardiola.

Heâll have to get the same chemist in he had at Barca.

Is Guardiola a bit of a cunt?
Without doubt. With a bit of luck heâll never show his face at Man City.
That Dr Hans Muller-Wohlfahrt lad who just resigned has an extremely dodgy reputation. Heâs linked to lots of allegations.
Clearly not dodgy enough for Guardiola.
JAMIE REDKNAPP ON HANS-WILHELM MULLER-WOHLFAHRT
Usain Bolt sought the help of Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt in the weeks leading up to the London Olympics in 2012. At the time, Jamie Redknapp recalled his experiences with the doctor.
Thereâs not much I have in common with Usain Bolt. Heâs certainly a little quicker than I was at my peak.
But we shared the same doctor when it came to turning to someone in need of urgent repair.
When I was a Liverpool player, I regularly used the tricks and skills of Doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt to rescue me from another injury.
Now Bolt, the greatest sprinter of all time, is visiting his Munich clinic to try and be fit for the London Olympics, which start in 18 days.
Iâve read in these pages about Muller-Wolhfahrtâs methods being described by a senior figure within the US Anti-Doping Agency as âFrankensteintype experimentsâ.
Iâm not sure what that means, although with me he would use fluid taken from the comb on the head of a hen to lubricate a knee joint that had been eroded by a succession of injuries.
He would tell me that it was like âhigh quality oil for the engine of a carâ.
He concluded that the fluid taken from a henâs comb would lubricate the knee and allow greater movement. I was happy to do what he suggested to have the confidence to play again.
Iâve also read about him prescribing goatâs blood injections for hamstring injuries.
His methods are successful, which is what has drawn Bolt around the world from his Jamaican training camp and why so many go to see the man they call âhealing Hansâ.
Among the sportsmen and women who have stepped into Muller-Wohlfahrtâs dimly lit office are Steven Gerrard, Ronaldo, Jurgen Klinsmann, Dame Kelly Holmes, Paula Radcliffe, Michael Owen, Jose Maria Olazabal and Maurice Green.
There is talk of controversy about Muller-Wohlfahrtâs methods, but I wonât have a bad word said against him.
I saw him many times and there was never anything untoward suggested.
This is not a back-street quack.
He is still Bayern Munichâs team doctor, world renowned and a master of his art - and they didnât seem to be doing too badly the last time I watched them in the Champions League Final.
Bolt versus his Jamaican training partner, Yohan Blake, is the golden ticket for London.
Last weekend, Blake beat Bolt, the fastest man on the planet, in back-to-back races over 100m and 200m.
Bolt then withdrew from the Diamond League race in Monaco and the alarm bells are ringing.
Nobody wants him to miss these games, surely not even Blake.
Athletes generally turn to Muller-Wohlfahrt as a last act of desperation, having exhausted all the local practices and medical skills of those they have been closest to.
You canât tell me that Bolt has flown all the way from Jamaica to Munich without trusting Muller-Wohlfahrtâs art and without searching for a solution a little closer to home.
Like me, he must trust his methods and rely on his advice.
He is renowned for helping sportsmen and women, like Bolt, recover from hamstring problems.
When I tore a hamstring playing for England, I was out for five months. He is getting sportsmen back on track within five weeks.
I only wish I had known about him then.
It appears Bolt has a back problem which may have affected his right hamstring.
It doesnât sound as if Bolt has suffered a tear, more likely a tweak and if he is unable to trust his hamstrings it might explain why some of his times have been sluggish, by his standards.
Didi Hamann, the former German international, first recommended Muller- Wohlfahrt to me when I didnât know where else to turn.
I hopped on a plane with the Liverpool physio, hoping we could find some answers.
When I first met him, I was anxious, but he made me feel welcome and relaxed.
He was in his 60s (heâs 70 next month), but he had the skin of a man 20 years younger, with a shock of hair and healthy outlook on life.
He believes in the power of positive thinking, he is a charismatic man who convinces you he can find the answers.
Most doctors do, but he backs it up with achieving success.
His staff are dressed from head to toe in white and he is there, overseeing the treatments and working from 7am-11pm, trying to find the solutions for a conveyor belt of people, including the general public, who come looking for answers.
My club, Liverpool, paid for my treatment through insurance, but when I bumped into Hans at a recent Champions League game, he asked me how my knee was and I told him it was still causing me hassle.
He told me to come and see him and after some treatment I asked him where I could pay the bill.
He said: âThere isnât one, Jamie.â
It was a kind gesture from a very skilled man. Bolt is in Safe Hands.

Well that puts an end to any question marks in my eyes anyway.
When the son of Harry Redknapp endorses a mans character who are any of us to question it?
He treated Zlatan like shit. Course he is.
@balbec Any idea how rigorous Polish security would be for the Europa League final? Going over visiting a mate for it and we have tickets in another lads nameâŚ
They might check ID. I have a season ticket at Wisla Krakow and the odd time they will ask me for a driving license or my passport even though I have a season ticket with my picture on it. Could be because of the hooliganism down here with Cracovia though. Iâd say you should be ok. Fine stadium. How did you manage to get those?
There was a few Everton supporters here that entered the ballot here in case they got to the final. We have four tickets got and looks like itâs just myself and yer man over going for a finish. Will stay a couple of nights in Warsaw and the go down to where my mate is living for a night or two.
There were names on tickets for Euro 2012 there and they didnât check anything.
There are few more annoying songs/chants in football than that âSchiesst ein Torâ crap that German fans of all clubs seem to sing.
Good point
What does it mean, pal?
Guardiolaâs side surrounding the referee multiple times already. Some things never change with that bald drug cheating cunt and his players.
Great chance for Bayern there
