Georg Holzner with an interesting take on Bayern’s 2020 UCL win and the following years: "Bayern got themselves into trouble with the contract extensions after the UCL win as well. The club extended Goretzka, Kimmich, Coman for an incredible amount of money, Gnabry too, with high

@vcatalina96 Die waren da alle ca. 23 Jahre alt. Natürlich verlängerst du die dann. Thiago hat nach seinem Abschied keine 50 Spiele mehr gemacht. Da muss man ja froh sein das er gegangen ist. Wir waren auch zum CL Gewinn einfach in Bestbesetzung ohne verletzte. Das ist der hauptunterschied

@vcatalina96 Wow, such a hot take!! I mean its not like the bosses are syaing exactly that for quite a while now…

@vcatalina96 Yet they still renewed kimmich recently with thesame ridiculous wages not even united will do this nonsense

@vcatalina96 The Sane transfer broke the salary structure. If one can give Sane 17m to sign when he’s not done anything for the club, Kimmich/ Goretzka/ Coman and Gnabry would also demand the same + some more. Brazzo thought it was smart to give that money to Sane and not extend Alaba

@vcatalina96 Hinterher ist man immer schlauer. Ich bin jetzt extra "ins Archiv gegangen" und habe mir Holzners hölzerne Artikel von damals noch mal durchgelesen. Kein negative Wort! Kein einziges.

@vcatalina96 Gnabry was arguably Bayern's best player in that CL campaign. The others all were key players. Retrospect makes everyone smarter

@vcatalina96 Players that where more important then Thiago 2020 Lewa Muller Gnabry Neuer Kimmich Goretzka Perisic Coutinho Boateng Coman You want more?

@vcatalina96 How was Gnabry not decisive? Kimmich? You can debate the contracts but you have to be blind to say that.

@vcatalina96 Intersting after 5 years. Idiot take.

@vcatalina96 Lol…so who were the protagonists 😆

@vcatalina96 The issue was we never adequately replaced the other departures (Coutinho, Perisic, Thiago). To say Kimmich, Gnabry, and Coman werent decisive players when Kimmich had a G/A in every game in Lisbon, Gnabry in the semis and Coman in the finals? Lets not rewrite history.

@vcatalina96 Pat Riley's: Disease of more

@vcatalina96 Regardless of whether I agree with it or not, they haven’t learnt from the ‘trouble’ because they’re about to repeat the same mistake with 2 of them.

@vcatalina96 Those 4 players were, inarguably, very important players in that UCL campaign, what came in the following years was different. Though Kimmich is still a top 3 midfielder itw

@vcatalina96 The fundamental issue was that we couldn't replace thiago. But it's a given there was no like for like replacement available either way . Thiagos profile was super unique

@vcatalina96 I’ve thought this for years.

@vcatalina96 Holzner hat 0 Ahnung vom Fußball und 0 Infos absolute Pfeife

@vcatalina96 True. Extended everyone but let the main piece of the puzzle go

@vcatalina96 Gnabry and Kimmich not important is a ridiculous take

@vcatalina96 Goretzka was not but the other had their important part in it. Kimmich without a doubt but in a different position, Gnabry without a doubt but he extended two years later and he wasn't the same already, Coman hard take but since he scored the winning goal...

@vcatalina96 Gnabry 100% was one of the main reasons for the treble, what is he waffling about? Nobody could know he'd fall off so sharply. But agree on Goretzka and Coman, they should never have gotten those salaries.

@vcatalina96 5 Jahre NACH dem Triumph ist das jetzt kein revolutionärer Gedanke. Das war schon ein Jahr nach der CL sichtbar. Also richtige Beobachtung von Holzner, aber eine die schon viele vor ihm gemacht und angesprochen haben

@vcatalina96 Gnabry and Kimmich were definitely some of the main protagonists, alongside Neuer, Thiago and Lewandowski

@vcatalina96 Nein, nein Kimmich die Pfeife hatte damals überhaupt keinen Impact

@vcatalina96 100m per year × 5 = 500m in wage for all of them combined (I'm counting Sané too)

@vcatalina96 Es war insgesamt ne Konstellation, von der man sich hat etwas blenden hat lassen

@vcatalina96 Mit Thiago war man sich ja über eine Verlängerung einig, nur wollte er doch noch einmal was anderes machen. Alaba dto, mit Lewy wollte man auch verlängern. Das war die eigentliche Achse.

@vcatalina96 Hahahahaha was ein Typ. Gnabry war einer der wichtigsten akteure in diesem Team. Egal wie kacke er danach wurde. Durch 2020 hat er sich verewigt
