"In Paris, he managed to turn five important players, cornerstones of the team, against himself. You can't survive that as a coach. We had an obligation to react quickly," Hoeness commented. "I have learned in life; the most dangerous enemy is the one in your bed. That is why we had to react," the former German striker quoted.

Rummenigge regarded Ancelotti's team selection for the important game against Paris St Germain as a provocation. Bayern started the important group match without the experienced defenders Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels. The fast world class strikers Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery were sidelined as well. On top, the Austrian left back and midfielder David Alaba returned despite a three-week injury break shortly before. Brazilian left-back Rafinha was placed on the bench.

According to reports, Ancelotti's relationship to Ribery, Robben, Joshua Kimmich and striker Thomas Mueller and others was gravely harmed. Ancelotti did not inform Robben, Ribery, Hummels and Boateng in advance of the game about his plans. All the four were surprised when the team's last pre-game meeting was going on.

The Italian was upset after the club installed their former striker Hasan Salihamidzic as new sports director and former Bayern professional Willy Sagnol as new assistant coach. Ancelotti regarded the club's step as a mark of mistrust and feared to have lost influence.

The club and players seem to have lost confidence as Ancelotti developed the team as expected. Reports said that the Italian mentioned an offer from China, and that AC Milan is interested in hiring Ancelotti shortly.
