Can you explain what is happening with Bayern Munchen Frauen players, that they will miss the National Team camp? I clearly missed something. Do you or someone from your followers knows?
Bayern players won't miss the entire camp, but they will miss first three days. The camp starts on 20th of June and on 24th Germany plays a friendly with Vietnam, so Bayern players will arrive too late to properly prepare for the game and play.
It came out long, so I put the rest of the answer under the cut:
Bayern isn't an only team releasing their players to the national camp later (for e.g. Dutch Wob players will join their NT a few days after their camp beginns), however Bayern is an only German club that releases their players later to the German NT camp. Players from all other clubs, including Wolfsburg, that ended the club season later than others, will arrive on time. Joti Chatzialexiou, the sporting director of the national teams, commented on the issue at the press conference on the occasion of the announcement of the World Cup call-ups. I'm pasting the whole long quote to not miss on anything (sorry for any translation errors, I don't speak German, original here):
We talked about the preparation early on. We sat down with the clubs' representatives and talked about the secondments. We deliberately planned for a longer preparation time. And we were in agreement by March, got written feedback. We then made training plans and did our homework - and now we have received feedback from most of the clubs that they want to release the players. FC Bayern has also played this back. I actually know the club as a reliable partner. Now FC Bayern has broken its word, which is very, very disappointing because the reasons are incomprehensible. We are talking about three days, which is helpful for us. That is not appreciative towards us and disrespectful towards other clubs. It's about timing, the timing is appalling. In some cases, arbitrary dates were thrown into the room that had little hand and foot. I have to accept FC Bayern's decision, but I can't understand it. Of course, some associations have not made any agreements with the clubs - and Bayern does not only have German national players. That's all understandable, but what's not understandable is that you make promises and don't stick to processes that you had a say in. In the end, the decision has been made and we have to accept it because the players are employed by FC Bayern. Yesterday we received a letter saying that FC Bayern wants to commit itself on 23 June. This clarifies the situation for us. We have tried everything. We are looking ahead and want to get the best out of the first training camp in order to go into the tournament accordingly.
It is a pity that the players are not involved in the first training camp for the time being. From a sporting point of view, it is certainly more pleasant to spend time with the team mates than to be alone in the forest. These are issues that the players now have to deal with. After all, it is supposed to be a positive thing to play a World Cup.
Bayern commented on this later to the Deutche Presse-Agentur:
We have explained our reasons to the DFB in great detail, both verbally and in writing. This new decision to call up the FC Bayern players for the DFB only from 23 June onwards was taken out of consideration for their health. Chelsea FC is also planning to do the same with the German players. In addition, the insurance cover for the players only applies from 23 June.
The issue is that apparently Bayern President only informed the DFB in writing that he intended to stick to this recommendation one day before the official squad announcement.
To turn up the heat, this Bild article was published. Some excerpts:
Alex Popp: "There were agreements, something was even signed. Then a decision was made behind our backs. That shocked us. I had contact with Lina (Magull) and I can say: it's not coming from the players. They are in a shitty situation now. They were put in a really shitty situation by their own club. That could have been solved much better. It's suboptimal for World Cup preparation.
Svenja Huth (32) also says: "We need time to grow together in the national team …"
Popp concludes: "But I still have hope that the Bayern players can get their club around and arrive on time. But at the moment the players are completely in a bind."
And:
Behind FC Bayern's about-turn is a move by the European Club Association (ECA) to limit the release time for national team players. Previously, international associations had requested Bayern players for World Cup preparation, sometimes without leave. The Bavarians fought against this with the recently adopted ECA regulation.
The Munich team's argument was that the players needed four weeks' leave before preparing for the World Cup. Three coordinated training days of the German national team were also cut.
In addition: Bayern's women's sporting director Bianca Rech sits on the ECA and did not want to undermine her own decision with her club. That is why the head of the national team spoke of a "personal background".
Bayern players are pissed off about this ban, are desperate to get to the DFB on time, and have made this clear to the club several times.
Keep in mind that this is Bild, so you should read their texts with limited trust, they like sensation.
Please come up on your own with what do you think about this. I hope it was helpful!
