FC Bayern Munich Hires Kevin Weddle​

As Andries Jonker's stint as interim manager came to an end last week, rumors began to arise that FCB president Uli Hoeness could potentially be looking overseas for a replacement. The speculation proved to be true, as Hoeness announced today that American Kevin Weddle would assume the reigns of the club this upcoming season.

An unknown entity, many fans and pundits have called the decision "baffling" and "idiotic". Hoeness' devotion to the club for decades may buy him some breathing room but if Weddle fails, Hoeness very well could be leaving with him.

Robben's Playmaking Leads to 2-1 Victory for FCB​

For the first 30 minutes of Saturday’s match, Leverkausen dominated the tempo and looked primed for the upset against FC Bayern, bolstered by Tranquillo Barnetta’s goal in the 20th minute. That’s when FCB’s Arjen Robben took over the match with his playmaking abilities; in the span of ten minutes, Robben assisted on two goals, first delivering a beautiful cross in the 6 yard box off a corner kick, which young center back Jerome Boateng headed into the back off the net and then set up Mario Gomez for the second and defining goal of the match with a great through pass.

Leverkausen came out of the locker room seemingly content on parking the bus, as they filled their defensive half with up to 10 players from the beginning of the match. FC Bayern struggled early to find any openings and became over extended in 20th minute, leading to Barnetta’s goal off a quick counter attack in the 20th minute.

As the Leverkausen crowd grew increasingly aware of the possibility of an upset, the decibel level in the crowd started to rise. Boateng’s header quieted the crowd somewhat though, while Gomez would silence them 10 minutes later with the go ahead goal. The second half saw FCB threatening to score on multiple occasions but The Reds were never able to accrue the ever important 2 goal lead.

FCB moves to 3-0 for the season, sitting atop the Bundesliga standings with 9 points. Dortmund and Koln are close by, however, as they sit in a tie for second with 7 points each. FCB hosts FC Twente Tuesday in the second leg of their Champions League series before returning to Budesliga action next Saturday against the aforementioned Dortmund.

Superior First Half Advances FCB to Champions League Group Play​

As FCB returned home with a 1-1 tie following the first leg of their match-up with FC Twente, the talk before the game centered on FCB’s potential upset to the Dutch club. The Bavarians quickly dispelled the notion though, as Arjen Robben and Daniel Van Buyten teamed for 2 goals in the first 22 minutes of the game, Mario Gomez added another goal in the 45th minute, and the Bavarian backline consistently repelled Twente’s attack all night long.

Dutch native Arjen Robben would start things off on a high note, making a run from out wide and receiving a pass from his wing counterpart, Franc Ribery. As he received the pass, Robben sent a one timer towards the goal that went sizzling past Twente’s keeper Cassio, giving FCB an early 1-0 lead.

FC Twente had a chance to even the score just a few minutes later, when striker Danny Welbeck, on loan from Manchester United, was able to beat Daniel Van Buyten off the dribble deep in his own half. The impending strike was far from desireable, however, as Welbeck would send the shot flying over the crossbar.

Van Buyten avenged his potential miscue in the 22nd minute, as he used every inch of his 6’5’’ frame to send a diving header into the net off a corner kick from Ribery. It was Van Buyten’s third goal of the season and gave Ribery his second assist of the night.

With a two goal lead, Bayern dominated possession for the rest of the half before Mario Gomez added to the lead with a score in the 45th minute, rendering any comeback by Twente almost impossible. With the win, FCB advances to group play for the 14th consecutive season; the draw for groups will occur this Thursday.

I've added a recap of each game instead of images. Hopefully that'll help. I signed Maniche and Diarra simply to tutor younger players.
