FC Bayern is facing a major upheaval in the coming season. Someone who has already experienced these changes himself and can assess the club’s decisions is Owen Hargreaves, who is optimistic about the situation at the record champions.
The 43-year-old, who was himself under contract at FCB from 1997 to 2007, spoke to TNT Sports about Harry Kane’s situation, among other things. „For Kane, I just want him to get his hands on a trophy. Bayern have won one 11 years in a row and now that he’s there, they might not win one. That never happens in Munich, normally you win at least two,“ analysed the Canadian.
Hargreaves: „So it would be fantastic if Harry could get his hands on something“
„So it would be fantastic if Harry gets his hands on something. That will happen. Next year, Bayern will be there. Maybe they can win something this year. But they’ll be strong again next year. Clubs like that don’t sit idle when things don’t go to plan. With the departure of Thomas Tuchel, there will be a lot of changes, also in terms of personnel,“ predicts the former Bayern midfielder.
„They have such a good squad and a good starting eleven, they might lack a bit of depth,“ analysed the 42-time England international. „But I think if they get everyone fit, Gnabry is fit again, Alphonso Davies came off the bench, if they get Kingsley Coman back, if they get all their starting players fit, with Musiala, Harry Kane and Neuer, then they have an amazing starting eleven. So I think they can win it,“ predicts Hargreaves, who by „they“ means the Champions League. „They’re definitely not favourites. But who knows, maybe all the stress can spur the group on,“ he added.
