FC Bayern Munich are in great form this season with the best start in Bundesliga history, and the consistency and level of performance are the result of Pep Guardiola’s consistent work. You can clearly see that the team has developed even further. A good coach has his ideas and visions, but they only work when they’re implemented by the team. And that’s the case with Pep, the team, and FC Bayern – a partnership that couldn’t be better.
As the new season has progressed, you can tell how the new players integrate into the team, and while FC Bayern’s newest signings blend in well, they also greatly enrich the team. They’re all world-class players and do FC Bayern much good. With them, the team now has many more possibilities than before. Ribery was injured for some time, but his absence was compensated, and the same with Robben. Before, these absences from players like Robben and Ribery would have weakened the team – today, with the new signings, that’s different. The team now has more flexibility, which is crucial looking ahead towards the second half of the season with all the competitions to consider.
Pep Guardiola has brought invaluable insight and wisdom to the team, and it’s my hope that he stays at Bayern. The collaboration between him and the club over the last three years has been very productive. There’s always room for improvement, and from my perspective, the end has not yet been reached, the mission not yet accomplished – that would be the treble.
