			<description>Schalke 1-2 Bayern Munich



Following a fast-paced and exciting first half that saw an opener from Luca Toni after three minutes, an equalizer from Jefferson Farfan two minutes later and then Franck Ribery restore the visitors' lead after half an hour, Schalke and Bayern slowly played out the second half with neither side seriously threatening their opponents' goal until the final minutes. The score, however, remained the same.

Despite going a goal behind, the Bavarians fought their way back and can now look forward to next week’s Champions League encounter with Fiorentina on the back of a three game winning streak.   

“We missed two or three goal scoring chances in the first half even though we controlled the game” Klinsmann said at the final whistle.

			<description>BERLIN, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Franck Ribery scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season to help Bayern Munich recover from 2-0 down and claim a breathless 4-2 win at home to VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday. 



Bayern gifted Wolfsburg two goals before Ribery, who has been slowly recovering form and fitness since rupturing ankle ligaments in June, struck from long range just before the break.

Mark van Bommel headed an equaliser, Tim Borowski made it 3-2 and Bastian Schweinsteiger tapped in the fourth  ...</description>

After voicing his dissatisfaction at having dropped too many points as a unit, Barzagli shared his impressions on the experience as a whole so far.

			<description>Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer believes other Bundesliga clubs have &quot;lost all respect&quot; for his side. 



The defending Bundesliga champions let a 3-1 lead slip to lowly Bochum on Saturday and only picked up a point at the Allianz Arena.

&quot;The myth that Bayern always win in the end has taken a break,&quot; Beckenbauer said. &quot;The small clubs have become cheeky and have lost all respect. The whole league senses that we are fallible.

			<description>The ‘Verein der Vertragsfu&#946;ballspieler’ organised the poll amongst all players in the first four divisions of German football and French star Ribéry was the clear winner with 37.3% of the vote.    



The midfielder/ winger was an absolute revelation for the club last season following his big-money move from Marseille, as the club won both the league and the Cup.  He certainly more than justified the €25 million transfer fee.

			<description>Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insists the club will not sack Jurgen Klinsmann despite their desperately poor start to the season. 



The Bundesliga champions surrendered a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 at home to Bochum at the weekend and they have already slipped seven points behind league leaders Hamburg.



Klinsmann only took over at the Allianz Arena in the summer from legendary boss Ottmar Hitzfeld, and Rummenigge claims he will still be there come the end of the campaign.

			<description>Last season’s leading scorer Luca Toni is rated highly likely to make his first appearance of the season when Bayern travel to face Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga this Saturday. Speaking to FCB.tv on Monday, coach Jürgen Klinsmann expressed confidence that the World Cup winner would be fit for the league clash, as he has now completed the full squad training programme for more than a week.



“It’s looking very good for Luca,” commented Klinsmann, “we’re hopeful he’ll be with us on Saturday,  ...</description>

Life After Van Der Vaart 

For a large portion of last season Hamburg were being talked about as serious title contenders after making a very good start to the season and then keeping it going right up to Christmas.  However, a drop in form from talismanic captain Rafael van der Vaart (coinciding with increased transfer speculation  ...</description>

			<description>Mark van Bommel wore the armband bearing the letter ‘C’ in all Bayern’s warm-up matches, and he will continue to lead the side when the 2008-9 campaign begins in earnest on Sunday, after head coach Jürgen Klinsmann appointed the Dutch ace to succeed Oliver Kahn as club captain on Friday. Van Bommel thus becomes the first non-German captain in the history of the club.



“Mark is predestined for this role,” commented Klinsmann, “he’s been an outstanding leader of the team since the start of pre-season  ...</description>

			<description>The surprise package in the Bundesliga last season was undoubtedly Wolfsburg.  Led by former Bayern trainer Felix Magath, the Wölfe stormed up the table after Christmas to clinch a Uefa Cup spot.  Can they improve on that this season?



Project Magath: Phase II



Winning the league and Cup double two years running wasn’t enough to keep Felix Magath in the Bayern Munich hot-seat after one poor season, but Bayern’s loss has certainly been Wolfsburg’s gain.  The Wölfe finished three points above  ...</description>

Not Going Down With Daum

Go Diego Go



Since winning the Bundesliga crown in 2003/04 Werder Bremen have finished third on two occasions and second twice.  The fans at the Weser Stadion are looking for the Green and Whites to improve on those performances and give Bayern Munich a real challenge and ultimately win their fifth league title.



But in order to do that Thomas Schaaf’s side will have to add some steel and discipline to their brand of attacking football.  ...</description>

			<description>After a difficult European Championship campaign with Italy, Toni is already looking ahead to the new season in Germany. However, the 31-year-old, who scored a stunning 39 goals in 46 matches during his first term in Munich, has expressed pessimism over his club’s chances of contending for honours with Europe’s superpowers.

			<description>Bayern have been without the Champions League title since 2001, when Ottmar Hitzfeld led the side to triumph over Valencia. 

Klinsmann hopes to reverse the side’s continental failings by introducing a swathe of revolutionary new techniques at the training ground, where he has now completed two days work. 

He was addressing his first press conference as Bayern manager, and two television stations carried the event live.

Juergen Klinsmann inherits an already celebrated team but one which has become, surprisingly, very docile on the European front. Clearly they are the strongest in Germany, but it is the ability to contend with Europe’s elite, which is the hallmark of any great team.
