Original Title: Former Bayern team Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt on the dispute with Pep Guardiola that led to his resignation in 2015: "It was April 15th, a terrible day. We had lost the first leg of our CL quarter-final against Porto. Afterwards, in front of the entire team in the dressing room, I was blamed.”
“It was April 15th, a terrible day. We had lost the first leg of our Champions League quarter-final against Porto. Afterwards, in front of the entire team in the dressing room, I was blamed for the defeat. They said we had too many injured players and that I was letting players recover for too long. That was completely absurd. I refused to accept that.
I was outraged by the misjudgment, because top athletes from all over the world come to me because my diagnostics are more precise, the recovery process is often faster than elsewhere, and because my medications have no side effects. However, the recovery wasn’t fast enough for Pep Guardiola. He was apparently used to having the final say on medical matters at Barcelona, but things were different in Munich up to that point.
I always enjoyed the respect and trust of the respective coaches. Dettmar Cramer once described me as “a stroke of luck for German football.” Udo Lattek often waited until the last minute to announce the lineup and said: “The doctor has the final say.”
Uli Hoeneß, who always stood by me, was in prison at that time. Had he been at the club, the falling out with Guardiola would not have happened, I’m sure of that”
