No matter which theory is right, Ancelotti's calmness is remarkable.

That the three-time Champions League winner is a man loving life and its pleasures like good food and a reasonable amount of wine is nothing new. However, it is rather unusual for a football coach to invite his biggest critics for a dinner after the season to talk things over and have a good time.

"The team's key players have taken over," wrote the German newspaper "Die Welt." Robben was allowed to advise his coach to from now on consider Thomas Mueller when picking the starting eleven and not to forget about Franck Ribery - without club leaders like president Uli Hoeness or CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge reprimanding him. "We have more options with Mueller, a better game is possible," said the Dutchman who continued, "If we want to win titles, we need Ribery."

Ancelotti kept calm. Some assume an offer from China is making things easy for him.

Mueller has demanded a permanent place in the team. Ribery surprised club officials with an angry outburst when throwing away his shirt away in disgust after being substituted ten minutes before the final whistle. Robert Lewandowski called Bayern's transfers this season only "average" (talking about James) and demanded world class transfers. Lewandowski and Robben accused each other of not passing the ball. Ancelotti returned to daily work without getting upset in public.

Admirers like Real Madrid's superstar Cristiano Ronaldo insist, his calmness in dark hours is Ancelotti's key to success.
