Alle Bayern-Fans dürften hoffen, dass Ciriaco Sforza (55) damit Unrecht hat!
Der Schweizer spielte 1995/96 und von 2000 bis 2002 für den Rekordmeister – in der Saison 1996/97 spielte er für Inter Mailand. Im SPORT BILD-Interview verrät der ehemalige Mittelfeld-Profi, warum die Italiener für ihn im Duell mit den Bayern am Dienstag bessere Karten haben.
Herr Sforza, Bayern oder Inter – welcher Ihrer Ex-Klubs schafft es ins Champions-League-Halbfinale?
Ciriaco Sforza (55): „Wenn ich die Mannschaften jetzt so sehe, ist Inter für mich Favorit.“
Warum?
„Die Mailänder haben seit zwei, drei Jahren eine eingespielte Einheit und mit dem 3-5-2 ein für sie perfektes System gefunden. Die Abwehr um Alessandro Bastoni steht sicher, die Dreierkette im Mittelfeld mit Nicolò Barella ist top und die Doppelspitze Marcus Thuram und Lautaro Martínez immer brandgefährlich. Diese Mannschaft wird den Bayern große Probleme bereiten.“
[–>In der Königsklasse konnte diese Saison nur Leverkusen gegen Inter gewinnen. Auf wen kommt es bei den Münchnern besonders an, damit ihnen das auch gelingt?
„Torjäger Harry Kane und Zauberfuß Jamal Musiala sind für mich Schlüsselspieler. Aber Bayern muss auch defensiv in jedem Moment hellwach sein und zweimal einen Top-Tag erwischen, um Inter zu schlagen.“
In der Bundesliga hat Bayern zuletzt gegen Bochum (2:3) und Union Berlin (1:1) gepatzt. Leverkusen ist wieder auf Tuchfühlung mit dem Tabellenführer. Wo sehen Sie die Probleme bei den Münchnern?
„Die personelle Rotation kann natürlich Unruhe reinbringen. Aber das, was Bayern immer stark gemacht hat, ist: Wenn es drauf ankommt in großen Spielen, sind sie da. Und ich sage: Wenn die Bayern das Hinspiel zu Hause mit 2:0 gewinnen, dann kommen sie weiter.“

Welche Rolle spielt Trainer Vincent Kompany?
„Ich ziehe jetzt schon den Hut vor Vincent. Mit welcher Ruhe und Abgeklärtheit er als junger Trainer bei so einem Weltklub auftritt, imponiert mir. Auch bei Rückschlägen bleibt er souverän. Aber wissen Sie, was das Wichtigste ist?“
Was?
„Dass beim FC Bayern alle – Spieler, Bosse und auch das Umfeld – hinter ihm stehen. Das trägt ihn, das braucht er für seine Entwicklung zum internationalen Top-Trainer.“
Ihr Schweizer Landsmann Yann Sommer wechselte im August 2023 von Bayern zu Inter, ist dort seitdem die Nummer 1. Er wurde im ersten Jahr Meister und ist aktuell Tabellenführer. In München hatte er in der Rückrunde zuvor den verletzten Manuel Neuer ersetzt und war öfter in die Kritik geraten. Passt Sommer besser nach Mailand?
„Ich denke, dass Yann im falschen Moment beim FC Bayern war. Es lief im gesamten Klub zu dem Zeitpunkt nicht rund. Bei Inter hat er es gleich allen Kritikern gezeigt, stellt seine Qualität kontinuierlich unter Beweis. Er passt einfach besser zu Inter. Das System mit Dreier- oder Fünferkette liegt ihm. Trotzdem hätte ich ihm zugetraut, sich bei Bayern gegen Neuer durchzusetzen.“
SO verkündet er seinen Rücktritt!: Müllers skuriles Video-Statement

Jones hopped on Rodgers’ back, which sent them crashing down to the field. Rodgers, naturally, wasn’t happy with him and shoved him hard when the two got back up to their feet.Rodgers was asked about that exchange Wednesday.“What you don’t see in the video is right after the throw, he’s coming over to me and shaking me and shaking me. I texted him I said, ‘Hey, I love your energy, I love everything you’re about. But also, I’m 41. You can’t be out there tackling me.’”Honestly, fair.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementRodgers finished […]

Aaron Rodgers shares his one regret during time with Packers as Steelers QB prepares to face former team
While Aaron Rodgers took extra delight in beating the Jets back in Week 1, the Steelers quarterback has made it clear that the same energy doesn't apply to Sunday's game against the Packers, his other former team that he enjoyed a tremendous amount of success with during their 18-year partnership. "I don't have any animosity toward the organization," Rodgers said. "Obviously, I wish that things have been better in our last year there, but I have a great relationship with a lot of people still in that organization, and this is not a revenge game for me. I'm just excited to see some of those guys and be on 'Sunday Night Football.'" Rodgers has a profound appreciation for his time in Green Bay and the things he and the Packers were able to accomplish. He does, however, wish that their time together had ended […]
Could Cowboys’ DeMarvion Overshown have Micah Parsons-like impact upon Week 11 return?
FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys explosive linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is back... at practice. The 25-year-old, who tore his ACL in the 2023 preseason as a rookie and then his ACL again, MCL and PCL on Thanksgiving last year, returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity. Overshown went through individual position drills and then more conditioning with him treating the practices right now as his version of training camp. "Ain't God good man. He is. He is. It's a blessing just to be out there. Been watching for 300-plus days now. So when you [are] a guy like me that football is more than just a game to you, it's a way of life, you play with a passion and that energy. When you're able to do it again, you never take it for granted," Overshown said.He plans to […]
