EXCLUSIVE Update on Noah Shawn
2 Votes
Nine months ago, BayernForum.com held an exclusive interview with Noah Shawn’s mother, who for whoever doesn’t know is a sensational talent in the junior team. We have now been in touch with his mother once again to get some updates on the 10-year old wonderkid.
Shawn poses with Olic
Noah Shawn became an internet sensation, when videos of the then 7-year old dancing his way round multiple opponents with incredible technique went viral. Many people have since asked: what has happened to him?
Do not hit the panic button; Noah Shawn is still very much a Bayern Munich player. This season he is playing with the Bayern Munich Under-11 Junior Team, but as from next season he will start playing for the FC Bayern U12s.
Contrary to his last season in the U10s, where he was used as a left winger, this season he is being played on the right wing, Yeliz, his mother revealed. And then she told us something which perhaps which may come as a disappointment to some of you, but which should not really come as a surprise:
“He is doing well but everybody who knows him from the beginning, like when he was 6 and 7 say that the way he plays totally changed with the years. And when you watch the videos and watch Noah Shawn right now you wont say that is the same child. FC Bayern prepared him to a totally different somehow usual player. He is still good in technical and you can see that. But you will not really see a lot of tricks when he plays.”
The FC Bayern U11 junior team 2011/2012. Noah Shawn is in front right.
This of course means that Noah is learning the other skills in football, which are equally important. Football is not just about running rings around your opponents, and a player needs to know when he should pass or cross. Will he be a complete player one day? We’ll just have to wait and see, maybe in about seven or eight years’ time. In the meantime, we’ll try to keep bringing you updates, exclusively by BayernForum.com!
Robert Lewandowski's move to Bayern Munich is off, according to Borussia Dortmund chief
Robert Lewandowski could be poised for a shock arrival in the Premier League after Borussia Dortmund last night blocked his sale to domestic rivals Bayern Munich.
No deal: Robert Lewandowski’s move to Bayern Munich is off as Dortmund refuse to sell him to their bitter rivals
Lewandowski had appeared to be on the verge of completing his “dream move” to the European champions at the end of last week, but Dortmund president Hans-Joachin Watzke is adamant that they will not allow him to join their bitter rivals.
“Lewandowski will definitely not go to Bayern in 2013,” Watke said in an interview with the German sports paper Bild. “This is final.”
That may merely delay the inevitable as Lewandowski will be out of contract at Dortmund next summer and free to join Bayern at that time, but it could also give Manchester United renewed hope of landing the striker, one of the hottest football talents in Europe.
United have previously expressed an interest in signing the Poland international, but the player himself appeared to be determined to follow his Dortmund team-mate Mario Götze to Munich.
Manchester City and even Chelsea may also look to exploit Dortmund’s reluctance to lose one of their best players to the side that defeated them in both domestic and European football this season, most notably the Champions League final at Wembley last month.
The 25-year-old international striker has enjoyed a phenomenal campaign at both club and international level, and appeared convinced that his move to Bayern was little more than a formality given that he had already agreed personal terms.
“We have been in agreement with the new club for some time now,” Lewandowski told Bild last week.
“I have informed the people in charge at Dortmund and I assume that all will now be cleared up and I can join the club of my wish this summer.
“This would be the best thing for all sides,” he said. “Dortmund are a fantastic club that will always have a special place in my heart. However, I am looking for a new challenge in the future.”
Should Lewandowski’s move to Bayern fall through this summer, it could lead the German club to bid for Liverpool and Uruguay forward Luis Suárez instead.
In turn, should United hijack the Lewandowski deal and take him to Manchester, it would dramatically increase the possibility of Wayne Rooney leaving Old Trafford.
Abidal eyes Guardiola reunion at Bayern Munich

Abidal eyes Guardiola reunion at Bayern Munich
Eric Abidal says he wants to sign for Bayern Munich and that Pep Guardiola would be happy to welcome him to the club.
Abidal made an emotional return to the Barcelona first team in a 5-0 win over Mallorca in April after recovering from cancer surgery, but it was confirmed last month he would be leaving the Catalans at the end of the season.
Speaking to French football program Telefoot, the 33-year-old Abidal declared his intent to find a new club in the summer and says new Bayern Munich coach Guardiola is interested in signing him.
"Guardiola knows my situation and he would be delighted to have me on his team," Abidal said. "But the director and the chairman of Bayern have their words on the matter too.
"I would be pleased to join Bayern. I have a very good relationship with Franck Ribery. Bayern is among the best in Europe. Everything is possible. Do I have a preference? I don't. But Bayern would be good."
Abidal, who played 193 times for the Blaugrana after joining in 2007, also spoke about the possibility of him returning to Monaco, where he began his professional career.
"I don't know where I'll play next season yet," Abidal said. "But the most important thing is to have options such as Monaco. This is a move that would allow me to go full circle in my career."
German football’s finances
Bayern and selling
Jun 11th 2013, 11:34 by B.C. | MUNICH
THE recent all-German Champions League final prompted much talk of the strong and cautious business model underpinning the Bundesliga, the country’s domestic football championship. But to group German clubs together underestimates the overwhelming business clout of that match’s eventual winner, Bayern Munich.
According to the Football Money League report produced annually by Deloitte, a consultancy, Bayern’s total revenue was the fourth highest in the world last year after Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United. But compared with other German clubs it is in a league of its own. Borussia Dortmund, runner up to Bayern in both the Champions League and the Bundesliga, is also a distant second in the finance table, with revenues of €189.1m ($251m), about half of Bayern’s €368.4m.
Bundesliga rules forbid corporations owning more than 49% of a club. This, it thinks, encourages club owners to pursue longer-term growth strategies and avoid excessive risk-taking or debt. This means it compares well against cash-strapped leagues elsewhere in Europe, such as Spain and Italy. It is even tempting to draw a parallel with the German government’s austere fiscal policy. But the key to Bayern’s big revenues actually comes from its ability to intertwine with corporate titans rather than shun them. There, as on the pitch last season, Bayern is outscoring competitors.
Take Bayern Munich’s home ground, the 69,000-seat Allianz Arena. After initially sharing ownership with another club, TSV 1860 Munich, Bayern now fully owns the venue and leases it back to its former partners. Bayern also collects all the other revenue generated from the stadium throughout the year from concerts, German national team games and the like. (Though its fans may wish to forget it, the stadium also hosted the 2012 Champions League final, which Bayern lost to Chelsea.) Allianz, a financial services company, is paying a reported €8m per year for 30 years for the naming rights to the stadium.
Those naming rights fall into a stream that Deloitte categorises as “commercial revenue”, which encompasses sponsorship agreements, merchandising, money generated by the stadium and non-matchday events. In 2011-12, Bayern earned €201.6m in commercial revenue, about €13m more than Real Madrid, the world’s overall top earning club, and almost €60m more than Manchester United. Adidas is paying €25m a year until 2020 to be Bayern’s equipment supplier. Deutsche Telekom has just signed a €30m a year, four-year extension to be the main sponsor on the team jerseys.
Corporate partnerships account for the lion’s share of commercial revenue and commercial revenue accounts for more than half of Bayern’s total revenue. The club is reluctant to discuss these relationships: it rejected a request to talk about its commercial revenue with a decidedly austere, “We do not see a possibility to fulfill your wish.” Still, these relationships were on full display when Jupp Heynckes, Bayern’s outgoing coach, held his farewell press conference on June 4th. A Samsung smart phone pinned to his microphone rotated ads for Audi, Adidas and Deutsche Telekom. Bottled drinks from Coca-Cola, Paulaner non-alcoholic beer and Adelholzener lined the table in front of him. Behind him, the club had plastered logos for Bwin, HypoVereinsbank, Imtech, s.Oliver, Continental, Lufthansa, Yingli Solar and more.
Eye on the ball
Corporate tie-ins are not unusual, but Bayern is unusually adept at forging such alliances. In part this is because Germany is the largest commercial market in Europe and Bayern is its most supported club. Still, the club has allied itself with a particularly strong roster of blue chip companies. Some are German—Adidas and Audi each own a 9.1% stake in the club—others are not. But whatever their nationality, they have seemingly become an arc of a virtuous circle. Business success has helped Bayern foment success on the field, which in turn grows the business. Deloitte estimates that winning the Champions League will bring €55m to €60m in payouts from UEFA, the body that runs the European game. This is not to mention money from new television deals and the like.
And its position might become stronger. Next season, new financial fair play rules are due to come into force. In theory, this means that clubs will not be able to spend more than they earn commercially, or face being kicked out of European competitions. This is supposed to stop teams going into debt or being bankrolled by sugar daddies, such as Sheikh Mansour at Manchester City. Given UEFA’s cowering track record, it reamins questionable whether the organisation has the gumption to enforce its rules should this mean disqualifying a big team, such as Chelsea or Real Madrid. If it does, with its savvy business model, Bayern might just be on the brink of sustained European success.
Bayern Munich have unveiled new coach Pep Guardiola. The former Barcelona manager explained that he didn't choose the Bavarian giants as his next coaching destination - they chose him.
Guardiola (pictured above, second from left) was unveiled to much fanfare Monday in Munich. After a year away from the game, excitement has been building over what the Spanish coach would say at his first press conference in Germany, in German.
"Forgive my German," Guardiola said in a thick Spanish accent. "I lived for a year in New York and it is not the opitmal location to learn German."
"I would like to thank Bayern Munich for this opportunity to be the new Bayern coach," he said. "I am ready to take on this new challenge."
Guardiola was adament that it was not him who chose to go to Bayern, but the club management who picked him.
"They called me," he said.
Bayern Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge called Guardiola "the most successful coach in the world."
"It is a partnership that both sides want," he said. "Bayern Munich wants Pep and Pep wants Bayern Munich."
Guardiola stepped down as Barcelona manager after the 2011-12 season. He has spent the last year on a sabbatical of sorts living in New York City.
"I need a new challenge and Bayern Munich gave me this opportunity," Guardiola said, when asked why he left Spain to come to Germany. "For this reason I am ready to do my best."
He will take charge of his first training session on Wednesday.
Big shoes to fill
Bayern first announced that Guardiola would be taking over for Jupp Henyckes back in January. To some the hiring seemed like Bayern management forcing a successful Heynckes into an unplanned retirement, but to others it as an opportunity to nab the world's most in-demand coach.
After leading Bayern to a Bundesliga-Cup-Champions League treble, Heynckes has set the bar high for his successor. The 68-year-old, who has ruled out coaching again, set a number of records with his Bayern squad this year, including fewest matches to secure the league title, most number of wins, fewest goals conceded and best goal difference.
Guardiola, however, is no stranger to success. His Barcelona squad won the treble during the 2008-09 season, his first at the helm of the Spanish club. During his three seasons as Barcelona manager after the treble, Guardiola captured a second Champions League trophy, two league championships, two Club World Cups, another Copa del Rey, and three Supercopa de Espana titles.
As a player, Guardiola spent more than ten seasons with Barcelona, winning six league titles and the predecessor to the Champions League, the European Cup.
Bayern look to get even better
He joins a Bayern side that, shockingly, have improved their squad since their historic season came to a close. The marquee signing of the summer (so far) has been that of Mario Götze from Borussia Dortmund. The 21-year-old midfielder cost 37 million euros (nearly $50 million) but is the young gem of German football and was a key part of Dortmund's success over the last three years.
Also joining will be 22-year-old ex-Mainz defender Jan Kirchhoff, who signed a pre-contract with Bayern in January. Another defender who was a regular for Bayern and the German national team, Holger Badstuber, is expected to rejoin the first team when he recovers from a knee injury late this year.
Bayern Munich agrees to sell Mario Gomez to Fiorentina

MUNICH (AP) -- Bayern Munich has agreed to sell Germany striker Mario Gomez to Italian club Fiorentina.
The Bundesliga side says on its website that chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge reached a deal with Fiorentina president Andrea Della Valle on Monday, with contracts to be finalized and signed in the coming days.
Rummenigge says "it was Mario Gomez's wish to leave Bayern in the direction of Florence. We've now granted his wish.''
Gomez joined Bayern from Stuttgart for a then Bundesliga record fee of up to 35 million euros ($45 million) in 2009.
Bild reports Fiorentina will pay Bayern 16 million euros ($20.6 million) rising up to 20 million euros ($26 million) for the 27-year-old forward.
Gomez scored 112 goals in 172 games for Bayern.
