The bottleneck in Bayern’s defense can become an opportunity for the football champions’ talents. CEO Dreesen is convinced of this. He also talks about fan banners.
Bayern boss Jan-Christian Dreesen sees an opportunity for talent in the current Munich squad. “We currently have a special situation in defense that was unforeseeable. Of course, the squad will reach certain limits in the event of injuries. But such situations are made for the young talents,” said Dreesen in an interview with “Münchner Merkur/tz “.
“Let’s remember Alphonso Davies, who replaced David Alaba on the left! Let’s remember Jamal Musiala, who came in when Philippe Coutinho, Thiago and Serge Gnabry were injured! Now Frans Krätzig and Aleksandar Pavlovic get their chances, and that’s it the stories we want to write as a club,” said the 56-year-old, who succeeded Oliver Kahn in office at the end of May.
Dreesen calls for special efforts in view of the well-financed international competition. “If we earn comparatively little TV money, then we just have to find new ways. One possibility would be to become a transfer machine, but that is not our philosophy. For us, the transfer business is a means to an end to improve the team,” Dreesen said.
“It is not our primary way to earn money. Our field is therefore small. We have to be active, find partners, and think about media marketing potential ourselves. Otherwise we will lose touch,” explained the long-time Munich CFO.
Dreesen also commented on the striking statements in the fan curves. “We have also become the projection surface for socio-political discourse. Do I wish that or do I always think it’s good? No. But do we have to accept that with these many millions of spectators, things outside of football play a role for people? Absolutely – and The active fan scene plays a big role in this,” he said.
“We don’t always have to like it, but this interaction and critical dialogue is good for us. It ensures that we don’t become complacent and comfortable. It’s not about cuddling, after all, we don’t have to like every banner,” said Dreesen.
