“Not understood until today”
Bayern bosses only have one downer
FC Bayern are already clearly aiming for the championship again, it would be the tenth in a row. Things are going brilliantly in the Champions League too. No wonder that they are satisfied with the preliminary round. If only it weren’t for this inexplicable low point in a successful half-series.
The CEO Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic have drawn a positive first round balance of FC Bayern Munich. From a sporting point of view, what the team showed was very, very good, of course with the downside of the DFB Cup, said the former national goalkeeper before the game in the Bundesliga against VfL Wolfsburg on the TV station Sat.1.
“We are absolutely on track in the Bundesliga. We have won all the games in the Champions League. So you can be very satisfied with the sport,” said Kahn. Salihamidzic took the same line. “We are initially very satisfied. We have mostly played good, attractive football, won many games, are ahead in the Bundesliga and played really well in the Champions League,” the 44-year-old emphasized to DAZN. While in the Bundesliga they will go into the short winter break with a clear lead over their pursuers Borussia Dortmund, the record champions in the Champions League easily reached the round of 16 with six wins in six games.
As for Kahn, the end of the DFB Cup with a 5-0 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach was the only flaw in the season so far for the former midfielder. “We haven’t understood what happened to us in the cup to this day,” said Salihamidzic. According to sports director Salihamidzic, FC Bayern will end the season with the same staff and will not sign a new player in winter. That was not an issue at all, the transfer window was secondary, he told DAZN. “We are really well staffed and we will continue into the season like this,” he emphasized. The transfer time in the Bundesliga lasts from January 1 to January 31, 2022.
