Bayern confession - Salihamidzic confesses live on TV: "I probably wouldn't have done that again"

Hasan Salihamidzic has already made a number of transfers during his tenure as sports director of FC Bayern Munich.

Now he remembered four very special ones.

Munich - The transfer window is closed, FC Bayern Munich * has strengthened again for the final: Marcel Sabitzer moved from RB Leipzig to the Isar, with the Austrian, the record champion did his Saxony hat-trick: First defender Dayot Upamecano, then coach Julian Nagelsmann - and ultimately also Captain Sabitzer.

Bayern have made good use of their big rival.

Since then, the bosses have repeatedly had to listen to the accusation that they are deliberately weakening the competition.

CEO Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic reacted calmly.

The latter, however, took a stand on other transfers * - and admitted mistakes.

Therefore Salihamidzic was forced to act. FC Bayern * then had a fireworks finish - at the end four new players were presented: Douglas Costa, Bouna Sarr, Marc Roca and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. At

, Salihamidzic * now remembered this time: "I probably wouldn't have made the transfer period last year with all the pressure that was built up (anymore)," said Brazzo.

At the same time, he took the four newcomers under protection: “That has nothing to do with the players, it has more to do with the timing.

Of course you want to give the coach something to satisfy him.

Then there was the pressure from the media.

The players we brought in, that's all okay.

They got the quality but little playing time and that was not satisfactory.

But that's now ticked. "
