Bavarian Podcast Works The Bavarian Podcast Works Team

Somehow, the weeks around here keep getting crazier.
Bayern Munich is a whirlwind of activity and the German national team is ready to kick off one of its most important tournaments in years,
Clearly, we have a lot to talk about, so let’s get to it on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:

I’ve got a bad feeling about this...new regime. The current roster? The transfer plans? Something just does not feel right and the New World Order in Bavaria could be guiding Bayern Munich into an iceberg of failure.

Is the front office purposely creating a leadership void to reboot the team’s mentality?

Hiroki Ito is a good player, but does he make Bayern Munich better? What about Jonathan Tah? Will they be better than Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano?

If Bayern Munich sells off De Ligt, it is incredibly dumb — especially if it is over money.

Alphonso Davies looks like he could stay, while Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Serge Gnabry do not want to leave Bavaria...now what? Money could be an issue for all of these players as well.

Here we go with Germany! Julian Nagelsmann’s legacy will start to be determined now. Did he already make a mistake by calling in Emre Can for Leon Goretzka?

Yes, I am still watching Shogun and yes, I am really enjoying it.

Germany will kick off its EURO 2024 campaign against Scotland with a team lacking on the typical Bayern Munich influence.
In fact, only Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, and Jamal Musiala could feature as starters for ex-Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann. As the home country, Germany will have the crowd at its back (and maybe on its back, too), but things will not be easy, as France, England, Spain, and Portugal are all expected to make a strong charge at winning the title.
Now, it is time to get going to and discuss how this all might play out, so let’s get to it:

A look at Julian Nagelsmann’s probable starting XI.

Why Germany absolutely needs a strong performance against Scotland to help, well, everyone stop feeling so apprehensive about the team.

A prediction on the match.

There is a lot of moving and shaking going on at Bayern Munich and the German national team these days, which means there is a lot to talk about. This is what we have on tap for the latest edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:

Vincent Kompany wants to play a 4-4-2 (hmmm), sell some wingers (yeah!), and has six players targeted for five positions (Paris Saint-Germain’s Xavi Simons, Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah, FC Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, VfB Stuttgart’s Chris Führich, VfB Stuttgart, Fulham’s João Palhinha, and Everton’s Amadou Onana). What does all of this mean? Let’s discuss.

Germany swung and swung relentlessly at Ukraine but the Ukrainian defense decided to honour their fellow countryman and recently crowned undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk by maneuvering expertly around all the offense thrown at them with excellent blocks and weaves.

The starting XIs and general shape of both Germany and Ukraine.

The tactical decisions made by head coach Julian Nagelsmann, namely those seemingly made to conserve the players.

Some worrying individual performances from Kai Havertz and İlkay Gündoğan.
