Munich - Mia san mia! The legendary club motto has always determined the procedure at FC Bayern * . And Oliver Kahn , in his function as a board member and future Bayern boss , has made a firm commitment to using this credo as a benchmark for player transfers in the future. "In order to play a leading role at FC Bayern, both the athletic skills and the character, mental aspects must be well developed," said Kahn in an interview with Sport Bild and explained in this context: " Winner mentality, humility, discipline and Perseverance is just as much a part of the requirement profile as the athletic quality of the player. ”
In plain language means: In the future, exceptional skills alone will no longer be enough to be committed by the German record champions * - understanding mia-san-mia plays an even more important role. The scouting department, under the direction of sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, is already doing some kind of social scouting, but that is probably not enough for Kahn. "You need a good network to find out how a player behaves in the cabin, what his family is like, how professionally he does his job," said Salihamidzic last autumn.
FC Bayern: Scouts keep an eye on the social media channels of potential access
Tz knows: The scouts in the professional and youth departments are already encouraged to have a look at how a player behaves, for example, when he scores a goal: if he thanks the provider or prefers to do his show alone when celebrating the goal from? Does a kicker get off the bus in a focused and focused manner or does he pose for fans and photographers? The player channels in social media are also searched to see whether the personal portrayal there is Bavarian-like or is overprotected with luxury clothes, expensive watches and sports cars ?
Also important for the Titan: Put more on your own offspring again ! Kahn announces that, in the future, European top players will also be in the Bayern squad, "In addition, it is our goal to train junior players for FC Bayern professionals who have the potential to be legitimate successors to players like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lahm, Thomas Müller, David Alaba or Toni Kroos ”.
In general, Kahn expects the transfer market to calm down again as a result of the corona crisis * . “The absolute top players will continue to have their market. However, it can be doubted whether this continues to be in known extreme sizes. In terms of extreme salaries , flattening out would be the logical consequence, ”predicts Kahn. Only if the transfer window should open again at some point will it become clear whether the Titan was right.
