Jupp Heynckes’ side had a dismal campaign in the previous season as they failed to secure any silverware for the second year running. It was a year of disappointments as the team faltered at the last stage in all of the competitions
it took part in.
The Bavarian giants were runners-up in all the three competitions they took part in. The side finished in second place in the Bundesliga behind Borussia Dortmund for the second straight year and lost in the finals of the UEFA Champions
League and the German Cup.
FC Hollywood have been busy in the summer transfer window and have strengthened their already impressive squad. The side has seen new additions in the form of Dante, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-c35214 Starke
and players such as Nils Petersen and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ivica-Olic-c17399 have been shown the door.
Bettor.com looks at the possible starting XI for Bayern Munich after the high spending summer transfer window:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 will surely start between the sticks considering he was one of the few Reds’ players who had a positive season last term. The shot stopper is one of the best in the business and with no healthy competition for the
role, he will certainly start most of Bayern’s game next season.
The central defence was an area the Bavarian giants had to improve on going into the next season. The constant injury problems to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Van-Buyten-c10095 and some poor performances from Jerome Boateng forced Jupp Heynckes to bring in
Dante, who had a sensational season with Borussia Monchengladbach. The likes of Holger Badstuber and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dante-c10236 are expected to start in the heart of defence.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Alaba-c10416, who showed how impressive he can be as a full-back after some strong UEFA Champions League displays, will continue as a left-back.
The Bavarians have admitted that they are still in the market for a defensive midfielder, but the likes of Javi http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luiz-Gustavo-c22844 are primed for a role in the
centre of the park with a talented player in the form of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 on the bench.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 and Franck Ribery, who are known as ‘Robbery’, will be deployed on the wings despite some stunning performances from Xherdan Shaqiri in pre-season. The Swiss international may have to settle for a substitute role in
the upcoming season, but the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 man is tipped by many to be a star for the future.
Thomas Muller will expectedly carry on with his behind the striker role, where he has been very successful in the past few years.
Mario Gomez has been ruled out for at least six weeks due to an ankle injury he suffered in a pre-season game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003. The German international has scored most of Bayern’s goals in the last two seasons but has been often
criticised for being inconsistent.
In the absence of Gomez, Mandzukic will be the man to fill his boots in the opening few games of the new season. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 man has the potential to shine at the highest stage and can be a huge success at Allianz
Arena. Moreover, Claudio Pizarro may be another option as the striker had a brilliant season ended with Werder Bremen.
Expected line-up: Neuer, Lahm, Dante, Badstuber, Alaba, Robben, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gustavo-c15404, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Muller, Mandzukic
