Bayern Munich midfielder Tom Bischof felt right at home at the club — and maybe because the onboarding process started weeks before he could physically make the move.
“To be honest, the Bayern chapter started a bit earlier. I was still at Hoffenheim, but my transfer had already been announced, when I received a message from Joshua Kimmich. He got my number and simply texted me. He said that when he joined Bayern, he hadn’t played a single Bundesliga game yet – and yet he still believed he could make
the move. And that he believed I could do it too. He said he was happy and believed in me. At that moment, I got goosebumps, having been given so much trust in advance,” Bischof told club magazine Säbener51 (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
It really feels like Bischof was destine to play for Bayern Munich.
With Kimmich — a direct competitor for playing in theory — working behind the scenes to let Bischof know he would be welcomed, it took away any edge or apprehension about the transfer.
Bayern Munich is cruising and heading into another Champions League, so let’s take a look at the factors that have powered the team so far.
Harry Kane has been a beast, the squad is driven, and — by and large — personnel decisions have worked out well. Let’s get into all of that and more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show. This is what we have on tap:
- Why has Harry Kane been better than ever? (Less need for him to work in build-up, better complimentary players around him — losing Sane and Coman was massive, more aggressive attacking game plan and sometime more direct, truly the focal point
- Is it possible that Harry Kane will stay at Bayern Munich? He is not dismissing the possibility.
- Yes! We avoided a #BayernKaren situation. We are rejoicing this in Philadelphia.
- Tying up some loose ends — let’s check in on Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, João Palhinha, Paul Wanner, Mathys Tel, and Adam Aznou.
