Predicting the Starting 11 of Bayern Munich (Part 4)
Arjen Robben:
The striking force for his country, Holland and the striking force for his club, Bayern Munich; Arjen Robben is definitely a threat to all his opponents. If there were to be two left footed right wingers who were to be considered the best in the world, they would definitely be Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben. The Dutch player has seen it all in his career, the highs and the lows. He has been a part of the club PSV along with the English club Chelsea. He was even a part of Real Madrid back in 2007 and joined Bayern Munich in 2009 to be a part of the German league. The 26 year old has been such a key player for the German club that he has scored 16 goals in only 24 games that he has played. Arjen Robben helped his team reach the final match of the Champions League. He has quick feet and he is definitely an amazing right winger as he can cut in from the right flank and curl in a beautiful left footed shot that ends up inside the goal. Many Real Madrid fans still criticize Real Madrid for letting him go as they still don’t have a right winger for their club. No one can forget Robben’s amazing volley during the semi final match against Manchester United, which the German club lost but still managed to qualify for the final of the tournament because of away goals. Robben also had a great FIFA World Cup experience as he joined the Dutch squad and helped them advance to the final match of the tournament. Even though they lost the final match against Spain and ended on the 2nd spot; Robben was the man who made the difference for his team as he got 2 1-on-1 chances during the match. With such a good record in recent times and with a good football playing age, Louis Van Gaal is definitely going to keep him in his team.
Thomas Muller:
If there was one youngster who impressed the fans during the FIFA World Cup 2010, it was definitely Thomas Muller. He played as a right winger for Germany in the tournament but he plays as a shadow striker for his club, Bayern Munich. Thomas Muller was the man who got the golden boot for Germany as he was able to score 5 goals in the tournament. He only played 8 games and managed to find the net 5 times which is a good record itself. He is one of those players who have grown in Bayern Munich and have always been a part of Bayern Munich. Thomas Muller was given a chance by Louis Van Gaal as the coach loves to play youngster in his squad to help them gain experience in early age. Thomas Muller is only 20 years old and has achieved what many amazing players dream of achieving and that is the golden boot award. If he keeps scoring at this rate, he is definitely going to become an amazing strike force in a few years time. Last season, Thomas Muller didn’t really get a full chance and was usually on the bench and was substituted to play for his team but since he has won the golden boot award, Louis Van Gaal is definitely going to give a chance in the first team so that he can score more goals for the club.
Ivica Olic:
The 30 year old Croatian has what it takes to score goals. Even though he has been criticized time and time again for his pace and many say that he doesn’t have quick feet to beat his man, he still manages to score a few crucial goals with his amazing finishing abilities. He started his career from Marsonia but became famous when he was a part of the Russian team CSKA Moscow. He then came to the German side and joined Hamburg and scored many goals for the club. With good record he was bought by Louis Van Gaal in the previous season and he became a part of Bayern Munich. He was one of those players who helped the team bounce back when the match was against the English side Manchester United. He has already scored 11 goals for the German club in only 29 games that he has played; he is definitely going to be a part of the first team when Louis Van Gaal is going to send his men down on the field to face his opponents.
