Bayern Munich Line Up Arsenal Legend Patrick Vieira as New Youth Coach

​Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are believed to be actively chasing the signature of Arsenal and France legend Patrick Vieira, reported​ the Express.

Vieira made 430 appearances in a nine year career with the Gunners, and is currently working as part of the Manchester City coaching set up - specifically with the Citizens' 'Elite Development Squad' - after finishing his playing career at the Etihad Stadium in 2011.

Reports are now suggesting that Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola wants to draft in Vieira to enhance the German club's youth prospects.

Guardiola's side have their eyes set on success this season. Bayern cruised into the quarterfinals of the Champions League by handing a second-leg 7-0 thrashing to Shakhtar Donetsk at the Allianz Arena.

They also comfortably top the Bundesliga table - 11 points ahead of 2nd placed Wolfsburg.

Spaniard Guardiola will be hoping that Vieira can assist in preserving Bayern's reputation in future generations by securing future success via his youth team development. 

The Frenchman is no stranger to silverware himself, having lifted three Premier League titles and four FA Cups during his time in London. 

Vieira also represented both sides of Milan, as well as Juventus and native side Cannes in his 18 year playing career.

Phillip Lahm Delighted to Return to Action for Bayern Munich

​Bayern Munich's Phillip Lahm made his comeback from injury last weekend and the club captain couldn't have been happier after expressing his delight after the game.

The World Cup winning skipper said "it was great for me to be back out on the pitch again after such a long period on the sidelines, I have the team to thank for that because if the game had been a bit tighter I don't think I'd have come on." 

"We have to win our games and it'll be good when everyone starts returning to action again after the international break. That'll give the coach a lot of options and it's also important that the players come back."

"We hope to stay in the running for all competitions for a long time yet. That'll mean we have a lot of games, which means it'll be good to have everyone back." 

"It's part and parcel of the game for some players to be dissatisfied if they're not playing, but we're at a top team and we need a big squad. We've seen that over the last few weeks and we saw it again today."

Pep Guardiola Praises Bayern Munich's Continuing Resilience

​After yet another convincing win this past weekend, Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola has been quick to praise his side, as he spoke to ​media. 

The Bavarians trounced domestic rivals Werder Bremen 4-0 on Saturday, a win which puts the German champions 14 points clear of their closest rivals at the top of the Bundesliga.

Following the victory at Bremen's Weserstadion, Guardiola said "the team maintained total concentration throughout and did very, very well."

"After the match against Donetsk it wasn't easy adapting to new opponents. It was one of those days when I'm so proud to be the coach of this team."

The win was even more impressive following the team's mishap prior to the match, whereby the team bus ran out of gas on its way to the stadium. 

How Bayern Munich have changed Arjen Robben – Paper Talk

When Arjen Robben joined Bayern Munich in August 2009, the Bavarians were very much second-division as far as the European elite was concerned, and the Bundesliga was a fun league that turned out deliciously-random champions (Stuttgart in 2007, Wolfsburg 2009) but mattered exclusively to domestic audiences.

Five years, three Champions League finals and one European Cup for Bayern later, it's very hard to say whether the Dutch winger has truly changed the club. Hard, because Bayern have not relied on any one player but instead on a collective of outstanding, steady performers like Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lahm and Manuel Neuer to find their way back to the small circle of superclubs. Hard, also, because history teaches us that history is best not pre-empted by sweeping statements when those concerned haven't hung up their boots yet. But we can say one thing: Bayern have certainly changed Arjen Robben.

The winger is reluctant to confirm that the world's currently witnessing the best Arjen Robben ever, but he'll go as far as admitting that he's never felt as much “in control” of his own body, and that he feels “very strong and fit.” Most of all, he's found consistency, in terms of playing time on the pitch and goals. Almost two years without any serious injury amount to golden patch in his often-interrupted career. He played 45 club games in 2013/14, more than ever in any one season, and his 17 league goals in the current campaign have already set a new personal best.

For the Dutch national team, too, 2013 and 2014 have been his most prolific years, culminating in an unexpected third-place finish under Louis van Gaal in Brazil. Not bad going for a 31-year-old who was assumed to be the first name on Pep Guardiola's hit-list when the Catalan came in 20 months ago.

“It's about experience,” he tells ESPN at Bayern's training ground, “you get know your body much better. I'm not really doing anything differently, but I'm working with the right [medical] people here, the right specialists.”

One of the main reasons the club were privately confident he'd turn down the chance to join Van Gaal again, at Manchester United, was the quality of the medical department. Scores of Premier League-based players have sought out team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt over the years. If anyone can keep Robben's delicate muscles from tearing, it's the 72 year old. (His son, Kilian, 34, has also started working for the club).

Robben, incidentally, has been following Van Gaal's travails from a distance. “You keep an interest in the clubs you play for, and good people you work with,” he says, but it doesn't quite stretch to watching games with such an ex-factor. “I look at the Dutch newspapers. I think Van Gaal needs time to build, and the players need time to get used to him. He has done well in the past. I'm confident he'll be successful [at Man Utd].”

Van Gaal was a key factor in Munich's renaissance by installing a playing system and possession football that Bayern still benefit from immensely today. The manager proved too divisive to reap the fruits of his labour, but the team have become so good that success, at least at national level, is practically a given these days. Anything less than a Champions League final appearance in Berlin would be seen as a disappointment, too. “Both Bayern and the Bundesliga have made a step … many steps forward since 2009,” Robben says. “You can see that in Europe, in the success of the German teams, and of Bayern. I'm really proud of that, proud how the club has developed in the last five years, on and off the pitch. To be part of this team, this club, gives you a very good feeling”.

To be a regular in one of the world's best teams increases your chance for trophies and goals, naturally, but Robben's golden autumn, career-wise, isn't just down to football's sun shining down on him. He's been willing to learn, to adapt a game that had more than a whiff of one-dimensionality about it. “It feels strange to talk about developing as a player at 31 but I think [he] made another step forward, tactically under Guardiola,” he says, “it's thanks to him.”

The manager's tactical flexibility and constant lineup rejigs have freed Robben from his traditional role next to the right touchline and brought him frequently into more central roles. It was Guardiola's idea to field him as striker in the DFB Cup final. Van Gaal saw what he liked. Robben's partnership with Robin van Persie fired a modest Netherlands within range of the biggest trophy of all.

“I'm enjoying the freedom, it's fun playing as a striker or behind a striker,” he says. “Tactically, Guardiola's one of the best coaches in the world, especially when you have the ball. There are a lot of coaches who are defensively strong, who know their tactics, but he likes attacking football and [tells you all about] positioning on the pitch. It's really nice to be on the training pitch with him.”

It feels like a million years ago that the local press were running speculative pieces about his egotism on the pitch rubbing up teammates the wrong way. Robben rode the storm, recovered from the traumatic defeat against Chelsea in the Champions League final in 2012 — he missed a penalty in extra time — and emerged as the match-winner in Wembley, for Bayern's treble triumph twelve months later.

His form has not dipped since. And he's gone from “ego-shooter” (Sport-Bild) to total team-player in the process. Dedicated penalty-taker Thomas Müller “gifting” him a spot kick in the 6-0 win over Paderborn, with a view to Robben winning the leading goal-scorer trophy would probably not have happened in years past. Maybe he'll be 2015's Bayern Munich player with a shot at the Ballon d'Or?

“Individual awards are nice but success for the team comes first,” he says firmly. That's not a surprise. The surprise is that you tend to believe him.

Bayern Mara ke Suku Akhir - Bayern Book Quarter Final

Munich - FC Bayern München sealed their place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals thanks to a 7-0 home victory over ten-man FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie.Thomas Müller settled any nerves early on by converting a fourth minute penalty after Olexandr Kucher was sent off for a foul inside the box, and, with Bayern in complete control of the game, Jerome Boateng added a second ten minutes before the break. Worse was to come for Shakhtar after the interval as Franck Ribery, Holger Badstuber, Robert Lewandowski and Mario Götze also got their names on the scoresheet, with Müller completing a brace.

First blood to Bayern

After failing to breach the Shakhtar defence in the goalless first leg, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola fielded an extremely attack-minded line-up at the Allianz Arena in an effort to establish an early lead. The strategy soon paid off as Götze was felled by Kucher inside the penalty area, leading to the Shakhtar defender receiving the quickest red card in Champions League history. Müller coolly slotted home the resulting penalty, his fourth goal of the current competition, to give the hosts a crucial lead.

Bayern were forced to reshuffle shortly afterwards when Arjen Robben hobbled off with a back complaint, but the game continued to be one-way traffic towards the visitors’ goal. Lewandowski almost extended the host’s advantage, only to see his back-post header come back off the upright, but the Pole was involved in the build-up to Bayern’s second. Controlling Müller’s headed knock-down, Lewandowski’s shot was blocked by Shakhtar keeper Andriy Pyatov, but the rebound fell to Boateng, who was left with an easy tap-in.

No mercy

Keen to avoid a nail-biting finale, the Bundesliga leaders went on the attack again immediately after the restart and were rewarded almost instantly. Ribery played a lovely one-two with David Alaba on the left-hand side of the penalty area, and upon collecting the return pass, the Frenchman slotted his effort into the far corner. Ribery was also involved in Bayern’s next goal just three minutes later, again cutting in from the left and forcing a save from Pyatov, with the ball falling kindly to Müller to stroke home.

Ribery limped off the field a short while later after taking a knock to his ankle, but if the visitors hoped that might bring some respite from the relentless attacks, they were very much mistaken. Holger Badstuber headed home is first ever Champions League goal following a pinpoint Rafinha cross before Lewandowski got in on the act as well, superbly controlling an exquisite pass from Bastian Schweinsteiger before tucking the ball past Pyatov. Götze rounded off a comfortable evening’s work for Bayern with a late finish following a counterattack, allowing Bayern to ease into the quarter-finals in style.

Line-ups:

Bayern: Neuer - Rafinha, Boateng, Badstuber (Dante 67’), Alaba - Schweinsteiger - Robben (Rode 19’), Götze, Müller, Ribery (Bernat 59’) - Lewandowski

Shakhtar: Pyatov - Srna, Kucher, Rakitskiy, Schevchuk - Taison (Krivstov 9’), Fred, Stepanenko, Douglas Costa (Wellington Nem 78’) - Luiz Adriano, Alex Teixeira (Ilsinho 70’)

Goals: 1-0 (Müller, pen, 4’), 2-0 (Boateng 34’), 3-0 (Ribery 49’), 4-0 (Müller 52’), 5-0 (Badstuber 63’), 6-0 (Lewandowski 75’), 7-0 (Götze 87')

Red card: Kucher (3’)

Phillip Lahm May Reconsider Plans to Retire in 2018

​Bayern Munich captain Phillip Lahm has revealed that me may reconsider an earlier decision to retire from football when his current contract expires in 2018.

"I can't exclude that I will say in 2018: 'I am feeling well, I am fit, I want to play one more year.' That may be possible," Lahm explained to media. 

When he signed a new deal in June , Germany's World Cup winning captain, who retired from international duty immediately after the victorious tournament last summer, had said he thought it would be his last in professional football.

However, ever the down to earth and humble individual, Lahm knows it may not be necessarily be as straightforward as a decision just to keep playing.

"At the same time, I know that I will be 34-years-old and we're not talking about some random club, but FC Bayern," he pointed out.

"It is a club which wants to be the best in all competitions. To be able to still perform strong permanently under these circumstances won't be easy."
