FC Bayern München 2005/06

Founded: 1900
Kit Manufacturer: Adidas
Stadium: Allianz Arena
Capacity: 66,000

History:

The first 100 years of Bayern Munich's history - and its success story - begin and end with the name Franz. Is it just a coincidence that the leader of the eleven spirited rebels who met to form FC Bayern in the Gisela Restaurant in Munich on the night of 27th February 1900, was a certain Franz John? Or that it was a Franz who masterminded the split from MTV 1879, the original club, which had suppressed every attempt by the footballers at independence? Is it only chance that exactly a century later, another Franz, this time Beckenbauer, would lead Bayern Munich, now an experienced and visionary club with countless titles to its name, into the new millennium as its president?

Much time and many other differences separate now from then. Franz John co-founded and built Bayern up from nothing and was delighted with relatively modest results, like Bayern's 7-1 victory in their first match against their former team, MTV 1879. But John also gave this 'cavalier' club its first individual touch.

In the early days, people recognised Bayern, then known as Schwabinger Bayern, by the players' straw hats. In his turn, Franz Beckenbauer would help make Bayern Munich what it is today: an international club with millions of fans, an institution reaching way beyond German football.

Not in his wildest dreams could Franz John have imagined that future, or that his team would one day be German champions, European Cup Champions and even World Club Championship winners. Nor could he have imagined that nearly a century later, on a mild spring day in 1999, Beckenbauer would meet the world's leading heads of state, and no less than the British prime minister, Tony Blair, would whisper to him that he was the most famous person there.

Clearly something incredible happened in the 100 years between Franz and Franz.

Bayern opened the new millennium in spectacular fashion, claiming the Champions League, the domestic championship, the World Club Cup and the German Cup in quick succession.

Bayern ended the old millennium on a low note with the devastating defeat to Manchester United in the 1999 Champions League final, but the team built around Oliver Kahn, Stefan Effenberg and Giovane Elber swiftly set about making amends in the new century.

Long-standing rivals Real Madrid felt the effects of Bayern's determination early in the year 2000 as the Reds put no less than eight goals past the Spanish giants in the space of eight days, winning 4-2 at the Bernabeu and 4-1 at home. The sides met again in the semi-finals, but this time Real took revenge, winning the tie with a 2-0 success at home and a crucial away goal in Munich's 2-1 win at the Olympic Stadium.

Ottmar Hitzfeld's men still collected silverware that season, entering the last week of the Bundesliga campaign neck-and-neck with Bayer Leverkusen. The Rhineland outfit fell to a shock defeat against relegated Unterhaching, allowing Bayern to pip them to the title. A week later, the Reds took revenge for the previous year's German Cup final defeat to Werder Bremen with a 3-0 win against the same opponents in the Berlin showpiece, sealing the third league and cup double in the club's history. Oliver Kahn was named German Player of the Year 1999-2000.

There was even better to come in 2000-2001. The omens were not good after an early German Cup exit to unfancied Magdeburg, but after 34 Bundesliga matches, Bayern again finished top of the standings. And again the glory was earned in dramatic fashion as Patrik Andersson blasted a stoppage-time equaliser in Hamburg with almost the last kick of the last match, snatching the title from rivals Schalke 04, whose game had already finished. The Schalke fans had celebrated - for just four minutes.

Brimming with confidence after the knife-edge finale, the Reds travelled to Milan on 23 May 2001 for the Champions League final against Valencia. Bayern had been on a European revenge mission all season, knocking out Manchester United in the quarter-finals and then seeing off Madrid with a 1-0 away win and a 2-1 success at home. Olli Kahn was the hero of that unforgettable night in Milan, saving three penalties in the shoot-out after the match had finished 1-1 after extra time to seal Munich's fourth European Champions Cup title, a quarter of a century after a the previous success.

Yes first post in the bayern thread by a 1860 fan


just wanted to say that you need at leats one top striker (please don´t take prinz poldi!) and 2 or better 3 defenders (half a year only with lizerazu as left back? )

 

[Rob]

Very jealous of the Allianz Arena

 

[Pizarro14]

Who Is going to play behind Liza? will it be Gorlitz? Since i know lahm will be out for a couple of months. And Rob don't worry i'am sure u guys will get a new stadium.

I guess it'll mainly be Saliahmidzic. Görlitz can also early that position as well as Schweinsteiger.

Have fun playing crappy second division clubs at the Allianz Arena.

Podolski will succeed Makaay, not yet.

and 2 or better 3 defenders (half a year only with lizerazu as left back? )

Liza is still in good shape. We owned the whole league with him at LB.

 

[theo]

Nice stadium
Are there any Schalke fans around to open a Schalke 04 Thread? Sorry I put this question here

 

[Hendrik]

Nope, not needed. Schalke fans usually give up school before the 5th year. English lessons start then.

 

[theo]

I didn't wanted to offense you

 

[Sepp2in1]

Liza is still in good shape. We owned the whole league with him at LB.

do you really think liza can play half a year champions league, bundesliga and dfb cup nearly every game??
and your backup in this position is bad!
brazzo can´t play leftback as we have seen in the half of last season.
schweinsteiger is no defender
and görlitz never played as leftback

 

[Hendrik]

Görlitz played LB in some preseason games.

I know Liza can't play all the games but he doesn't has to. Our backups are good enough for the early stages of the German Cup and for most Bundesliga games.

Vince How did Gorlitz do at LB? We all know Liza can't handle a full season alone

 

[Sepp2in1]

well i as a 1860 fan have seen most of görlitz´s games before he came to bayern and i can just say that he is not good enough as LB

 

[Pizarro14]

ouch atleast ur being honest (I HOPE ) but yea I feel we need to go shopping for a backup LB

 

[Hendrik]

Another LB is the last thing we need. Like I stated, Lizarazu and Brazzo are good enough against tough opposition, Schweini and Görlitz CAN play that spot if needed.

Lahm will be back for the more important games of the season anyway.

Ok lets count on Brazzo to be a LB (Hopefully Görlitz can be a good enough backup for Liza) I still feel we should get one more CB. We Should send scouts to go check if there are any non so expensive CB's out there would be great to get a cheap one :fool:

He didn't play exceptionally well but he's not a bad player. He's got lots of experience and is offensively better than Liza.

Yep a young defender player would be nice. Maybe we have some guys in the amateur team; I don't know, I don't follow that team on a regular basis.

Take a look at the the amateur team most players are very young.

Man Fink is still playing football? jesus christ he really does love the game

 

[Hendrik]

Yep he's the captain and the leader for all the young guys.
