Kovac dismisses rumors of discontent in Bayern’s locker room

Bayern Munich’s head coach was calm and confident that his team will make the correct adjustments ahead of Bayern’s next test against Mönchengladbach. “It has nothing to do with cluelessness if I don’t resort to lashing out right away after a game. That’s not going to happen under me, that I “blast” my players as it’s said so nicely. You won’t see that with me, regardless of whether it’s a Champions League game or not. They’re my players; it’s my team,” said Kovac during the press conference ahead of the game. Kovac also addressed criticism of his rotation policy, commenting particularly Bayern president Uli Hoeness’s remark that he would have to “stick his neck out” for his decisions. “We have already been very successful with rotation; you can’t blame [recent results] on the fact that this or that one player or not. We have to see that we can start fresh players. We have three injured ones. And a game every three days.” Naturally, the media was also inquisitive about James Rodriguez, who reportedly left the Allianz Arena furious with Kovac after playing only half an hour against Ajax Amsterdam. Kovac responded:”Every player has his value. James is a very important player for the club and also for me. I can’t start twelve players, and James will play exactly as many games as the others.” Kovac dismissed Bild’s claims that the locker room was “boiling over”: “I don’t want to exaggerate it. It is not the case that it’s boiling over. Of course, this or that player is dissatisfied. And of course, lots of people want to read things into it, look at body language, and so on. We are stable.”
