No, that would be too much activism
Everyone is talking about Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the table. But it is also a fact: Bayern are very close behind and have already strengthened themselves with Eric Dier. If a strong right-back comes along now, FC Bayern will have everything they need to attack for the championship title. More new players? That would be too much activism. Bayern can attack the transfer market with Eberl in the summer.
The German record champions should rather focus on integrating Dier and a second possible new defender well. Because: Then the miserable construction site will finally be repaired. The defense has been strengthened since the summer. That has now been achieved – Tuchel can now work on the details. This is how Bavaria becomes even stronger.
And the Bayern coach himself admitted that he doesn’t need a defensive midfielder this winter. There is not the greatest need to sign a “Holding Six,” said Tuchel. In addition, Alexandar Pavlovic has become a good alternative in the center of midfield. The 19-year-old played over 90 minutes in the wins against Stuttgart and Wolfsburg and also scored an assist against the Swabians. With Kimmich, Goretzka, Laimer and Guerreiro, Tuchel also has experienced six.
Instead of spending even more money, FC Bayern should strive to give every professional playing time. This means that the Bayern stars can push each other and the competition within the team increases. This in turn increases performance and puts Leverkusen under pressure.
Alonso’s team did exactly that. They brought in reinforcements in a targeted manner over the summer and formed a team that works. This is now paying off – just as it can pay off for FC Bayern if it trusts its professionals.
