On the day after the 1-0 defeat at FC Augsburg, Oliver Kahn was one of the most popular people to talk to at the Theresienwiese in Munich. During FC Bayern’s traditional Oktoberfest visit on Sunday, the CEO took the time for the journalists and answered all the questions that arose.
In addition to his clear commitment to Julian Nagelsmann, the ex-national player was not embarrassed to send a challenge to the Bundesliga competition despite FC Bayern’s recent earnings crisis.
“We have an excellent squad and many, many players, especially on offense, who are capable of scoring goals with enormous speed. […] As soon as we start again, assume that we will and have to attack fully against Leverkusen.”
After seven Bundesliga matchdays, the German record champions are only fourth in the table and can even lose another place over the course of Sunday.
Kahn confident: “Returning to the road to success”
Board boss Kahn calls for greater commitment and fighting spirit from the Bayern professionals for the upcoming phase of the season after the international break: “The team must have realized by now at the latest that there is no one out there but our own fans who would give us another championship title The other teams that fight and always bring 120 percent against Bayern.”
In Augsburg we saw again and again “how strong the teams play against us. We have to understand that and accept that. But I’m also convinced that sooner or later we’ll get back on the road to success,” said the 53- years after.
According to Kahn, FC Bayern is still “capable of getting back to the front at any time. Where we belong, at the top of the table!”
Statements that should only further motivate the assembled competition for Borussia Dortmund, 1. FC Union Berlin and SC Freiburg to stay ahead of Munich.
