Maybe the sky is really falling over Bayern Munich and Carlo Ancelotti, as my colleague (and World Cup housemate) Raphael Honigstein often points out. But it didn't happen against Mainz on Saturday, as Bayern rolled to a 4-0 win that could just as easily have been twice as big: they also hit the woodwork twice.
Critics say Ancelotti's too lax, that his training sessions aren't intense enough and that he relies too much on individual expression rather than the repetitive patterns of play popularised by Pep Guardiola and Louis Van Gaal. Maybe so, but it worked pretty well at his previous clubs and it may have helped avoid the industrial quantities of injuries racked up by his predecessors. They're one point off the pace and have yet to be outplayed this season. Time to chill a little?
