Sometimes bucking trend actually works — at least that is what Bayern Munich is hoping.
In a summer where many clubs saw their spending surge, Bayern Munich attempted a different course of action by making
just a few paid transfers and opting to actually commit to using young players (remember when that was a main reason why Julian Nagelsmann was hired?).
Supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß believes the team did exactly what it needed to do.
“We had a dream to spend as little money as possible but still have a great new team. We didn’t spend another 50 million here and 60 million there, but instead focused on talents like Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof. That has been good for our finances. And of course, we now have a coach who is willing to integrate young players – and that’s wonderful,” Hoeneß told Sky Germany (as captured @iMiaSanMia).
Given its lack of trophies in recent seasons, this was a calculated gamble for Bayern Munich. As we know, it has worked out so far, but can this team actually win the ultimate prize — a Champions League title when operating like this?
