The cliché, as well as the concept, of a football team being more than just a team, but also a family, is one as old as time. In some select situations, however, it can actually turn out to be true. It is difficult to evaluate this as an outsider, but Bayern Munich’s Tom Bischof believes the club has achieved such a status. Given recent tragedies concerning teammate Joshua Kimmich and head coach Vincent Kompany, that togetherness has been put to the test, but Bischof believes how the team stood strong
has proven their closeness all the more.
Asked about the situation at the club after those recent tragedies, Bischof immediately brought up this togetherness: ‘I find this Bayern family phenomenal. The way everyone is there for each other. The way everyone can rely on each other. This sense of togetherness is absolutely remarkable and gives me a very good feeling,’ he proclaimed (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “Here, you’re much more than just an employee. I noticed that when Joshua Kimmich experienced this terrible loss, with Jamal Musiala, and I’m experiencing it now with Vincent Kompany. No one is left alone here. And it does make me proud to be part of this special community. We never play just for ourselves, but always for everyone.”
