It has not yet been really arrived in Munich. On the contrary. The euphoria about the “absolute desired player” and “instant worker” (friend), which the Bayern managers saw in him in January 2024, when they transferred 30 million euros for his commitment to Turkey, has long since evaporated. Rather, the Frenchman in Munich is now not only considered a false purchase, but also the most expensive misunderstanding of the club history.

“He has no easy status,” admitted friend, who initiated Boey’s commitment at the time before the sports director Max Eberl was arrived. “But when you see how he works in training, I am simply happy for him that he has shown his value over a longer period of time in an important game.” According to Freund, that is “a good story. Everyone was very, very happy for the Sacha.”

Company is no exception. In addition to friend, the Belgian is one of the few in Munich that Boey have not yet written off. Because the trainer campaigned for the whereabouts of the actual sales candidate in summer, Bayern also blocked a Juventus Turin range of time on the deadline day.

The full-back has now been deployed in all six competitive games: he was substituted five times and he was in the starting eleven with a 3-2 win in the trophy in the third division team.

Above all, his undisturbed head kick, with whom he injured his opponent Robin Fellhauer at 3-2 in Augsburg, is remembered. And above all the ruffle of FCA trainer Sandro Wagner, who Boey came up with for dealing with the unfortunate situation and his late apology.

Again addressed to Boey and his starting chances, Kompany has now repeated what he had already said in a similar form in the previous week when asked by T-Online. Already then he pointed out to this, so Kompany, “that I trusted in every player in the squad. There is no exception. Sacha is part of it. His performance against Chelsea was very good.”

Boey now offer this performance and Stanišić’s injury the chance to prove in the coming weeks at Bayern that he is not a transfer flop. He should use it better, after all, it could be his last one he will get in Munich.
