There's no sign of the euphoria that had been so massive following the appointment of new coach Jürgen Klinsmann. On the contrary: In order to once more live up to their ambitions in the Champions League, FC Bayern are going to have to reinvent themselves all over again - with strong support from the Netherlands. |
