Even if it sounds boring, FC Bayern will even become again this time, right? I mean, it was again last year, then relatively clear, but again this year German champion.
Yes, so I think that’s an alarming sign when a player says that. We have experienced this many times in the past, but you have to say that the past few years have rarely commented on the size of players when I perceived it. And if that happens now, in the case of Harry Kane is also a leading player, in my opinion should and can address. This is also an alarm signal and the facts simply speak for it. I also think the experience from the past has already been seen that despite the larger squad, they always had problems and get injuries. The burden of several competitions. Now they have played the Club World Cup after the season. The break was very short again. Many competitions are played again. It is assumed that Bavaria comes relatively far in the cup that they have to bring the Champions League everywhere again Bundesliga every three days. And then there are injuries. And that’s why this squad, as it is now, is clearly too small.
Well, is not enough for Bavaria. He is a good trainer, he has proven that. He got the German championship. He did not come with a big reputation as a coach, with a big vita and still managed to bring a team to the pitch that the German championship brought, which they did not do last year. So you shouldn’t talk this performance small. To become a German champion, of course. But of course FC Bayern is more the claim. And of course this second season is expected that there is a step forward. You can’t plan the Champions League victory. But you can use the way you play how far you get. Okay, we were close. We are close. We develop that we can win the Champions League. You haven’t had the feeling in recent years. This step has to come now. With a very perfect season, you may be able to go very far in this Champions League. But the way you perform there and how far you get will show whether the next step will be taken by him. Of course we have the story DFB Cup, where the past few years has not been much. Of course you also have to see that you come far again, come to the final. And yes, championship is already a must and it will be shown whether this next step will take place. For me, they are definitely not one of the top three favorites, you can say that, but that was not before the season for me last year. You have really seen how this Paris team developed during a year or during a season. The game idea as they have matured to the team and not. Of course they had top individual players, no question. But there were still teams who had this individual class even higher. But they developed into a team during a season, which was unbeatable somewhere at the end of the season, how they played and that, it is possible within a season, it showed it. That means that this may also take place somewhere at FC Bayern. But if you have to call the favorites before the season, then they are not one of them.
Leverkusen has been somewhere for the past few years. There was also the master. But that’s another topic. There is also a complete change. That, I don’t see her anymore. And then I already see Dortmund on the second place as a favorite behind Bavaria. Unfortunately. But you can already take this position back. And the question is there too. How does a development take place now? Even during the season. And I’m excited. For me, you have someone with Geraci at the front who can win games who can score many goals that I have as a secret favorite on the top scorer. This has always not been bad, but it won’t be enough for the top. But yes, you can definitely create a better placement than last year. And what then contains second place somewhere. Yes, the demands are high. I think the demands have been very high since the Klopp era and at some point you want to have the claim to get Bayern difficult at eye level but still close. And to be able to annoy Bayern and a long race to be able to keep the championship open. And this claim developed from this time and they could do justice to it somewhere for a long time. And I think there is currently a bit missing. And of course the claim is there. And for that you need the players, for that you also need the imagination and that is probably lacking the fans up to date that it is not possible with this squad to become Bavaria dangerous. And that’s why I understand that. This topic with the kitchen is of course. Nowadays, of course, this is always very polarizing. Perhaps you can loosen through nutrition and not through players.
