Says who? udo had nothing but good things to say about Maradona who for the record got treated like shit by barcelona, hence his desire to leave.
Excerpt from Udo interview:

-What did you do?
-I told the bus driver: Close the doors and drive. The team has applauded.
-Maradona's reaction?
-He went to the president, complained and a few days later I got fired

Was haben Sie gemacht?

Lattek: Ich habe dem Busfahrer gesagt: Türe zu und abfahren. Die Mannschaft hat applaudiert.

Und die Reaktion Maradonas?

Lattek: Er lief zum Präsidenten, beschwerte sich und ein paar Tage später wurde ich entlassen.

As for now I rate the chances of winning the CL like this (I admit its still early to do so as we have new players who are yet to gel...)
1. Real Madrid - They remain hot favorites
2. Bayern Munich - They sacked Ancelotti after looking like a shadow of themselves in defeat to PSG but Bayern are Bayern and they should get back to be among the best
3. Barcelona - Yeah I think they were better attacking wise last season but they are more solid at the back now even if still there is much to do at the back..
4. PSG - They have the most frightening attack while their mid and defense are not that bad as well.. Should be a strong candidate...
5. Juventus - I rate our chances less than the other 4 for now because we are not as good attacking wise as the other 4 while our defense isnt solid as last year but it could all change with time.. (I dont take the 3-0 defeat to Barcelona into account as I expected us to lose this game..)
6. Man Utd - You can say Chelsea are the best in England but it seems to me Man Utd finally found their balance thrashing everything in their path..
7. Chelsea - You cant underestimate a team that is led by Conte..
8. Atl Madrid - I really dont see them doing anything but they are quite steady and competitive in CL so who knows...

The others such as Dortmund Monaco Porto City... I didnt mention them because they have like 1% or less chance winning the CL...

The things that could make the difference for us:
1. Dybala - Can he show his Serie A form in Europe and could he do it on a constant basis?!
2. Higuain - Can he regain his form and move more lightly and also can he not choke on big games?!
3. Defense - Can we become the frightening defense that we were before once again?!
4. Bentancur - How much can he develop this year?!
5. D.Costa&Bernardeschi - how good are they going to be?!

If all questions are answered positively we will fight it with Real once again for the CL title

The people that complain our players had too much power in asking to leave and often cited Bayern as an example of "hardliners" on players what are your thoughts now on Bayern?

5 player meme was a smokescreen, Uli wants Tuchel badly and used the PSG defeat as excuse to dump Carlo. They even bigger hardliners than I assumed


Brazzo is holding a presser now

"Bayern is Bayern" is a very strong argument in favor of a team who got shellacked just 2 days ago
We got shellacked by Barca, but Juventus is Juventus.

Oh, i didn't see that list, what i meant is one defeat changes nothing. It can look completely different again by the time the knock out stages get played.
:tup:
yeah my response was meaningless without seeing his post. Early lists are not to be taken seriously but to call a team in shambles the second favorite to win this competition was preposterous, even in a meaningless early list.
