Bayern Munich midfielder Tom Bischof was not sure if he was ready for the club back in his mid-teens, but now? Everything fell into place over the summer.
“Bayern wanted to sign me earlier, when I was 15
or 16. Back then, it would have been too early. When the inquiry came, I asked myself exactly the same question again: ‘Is it too early?’ – But all the conversations with Vincent Kompany, Max Eberl, and Christoph Freund made me come to a very different conclusion this time. At one point, Max sent me a WhatsApp and asked if I was coming voluntarily or if he had to pick me up. After that, I was convinced: hey, I have to do this,” Bischof told club magazine Säbener51 (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Bischof has asserted himself nicely so far and looks to have been a real value buy for the Bavarians.
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.
