  • On this week’s episode on the Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, we are joined by Bayern Munich legend and German World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger.
    We join Schweinsteiger in Munich, where he won eight Bundesliga’s, to reminisce on his impressive playing career, including his move to Manchester United where he was reunited with former coach Louis Van Gaal and how things took a turn for the worse under Jose Mourinho.
    The German international reveals what piece was missing in the puzzle of that 2016/17 Manchester United team, and which rivals they could have learnt from. Plus, would a move away from Old Trafford be best for former teammate Marcus Rashford?
    Schweinsteiger has played under some of the greatest managers, as he tells us about winning the treble under Jupp Heynckes in 2013 and trying to adapt to Pep Guardiola’s style of play at Bayern Munich when German football was number one in the world.
    Bastian also speaks about the impressiveness at Bayern Munich, Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben’s competitiveness and changing tactics.

      I'm Polish and have to admit, watching Bastian play for Germany was always a treat and a pleasure. As a kid my favourite midfielder was Ballack, as a teenager it was Bastian. I wish he played for Schalke, not nearly as prestigeous as Bayern or United but they'd sure treat him as he deserved.

    Never did I think that a World Cup winner, a champions league winner, one of the best midfielder of his generation, a legend of one of the great clubs in Europe been kicked out of the dressing room and had to ask others to move his stuff just because he wasn’t allowed and had to train with the U16s. He was sad just to recap it to Gary and he still loves the club. All the love to you Basti. Good change is coming soon to united. Thank you for your service to our club. Forever legend❤

      It's because Bastian understands the difference between ownership and the core of what a club is, he knows that it's Glazers and Woodward, not people the club stood for, it's been infuriating 15 years of seeing United in the hands of Glazers, losing all the standards and practices it stood for since Busby days.

    Massively underrated player. C. Ronaldo and Portugal still has nightmares about him. He should be considered in the best ever 11, but as usual midfielders (+ not premier league players) do not get the recognition.
    Germany's performances at the world cup and European championships since 2005 with Schweinsteiger:
    WC 2006: Bronze🥉
    EC 2008: Silver🥈
    WC 2010: Bronze🥉
    EC 2012: Semifinal (no match for bronze)🎖
    WC 2014: GOLD
    EC 2016: Semifinal🎖
    --- 2016 Schweinsteger leaves Die Nationalelf---
    WC 2018: K.O. at group stage
    EC 2021: K.O. at round of 16
    WC 2022: K.O. at group stage
    Of course Germany had a golden generation (that actually delivered), but I think Schweini was the secret behind the success as a central midfielder with a lot of touches, a lot of running, a lot of goal contributions and a lot of tackles. Also his positivity, fighter mentality and charisma surely uplifted the rest of the team.
