In an interview granted to ‘talkSPORT’, schweinsteiger has explained that “When he arrived in the country, everyone was of the opinion that we had to play this type of football focused on short passes, but what happened in the end was that we lost our values.”
“I think the other nations always considered us a Fighting team that always ran to the end and we’ve lost that virtue over the last seven or eight years because we just forgot about it. We were just more focused on passing the ball beautifully.”settled the former Bayern player.
Apart from the bad moment of the German team, the main team of Germany, Bayern Munich is not having a good time either. The Bavarian team is in full reconstruction to return to compete in Europe after a very irregular year where the Bundesliga title ‘except’ the season.
