Netzer: Bayern will be more successful under Pep

The former Borussia Monchengladbach player has asked the newly crowned league winners to flourish even better once their new trainer takes over from Jupp Heynckes

Former football legend Gunter Netzer has praised Bayern Munich after winning the Bundesliga title and claims he feels that they will improve even more under Pep Guardiola.

“The Bavarians have responded to last season superbly and with great success,” the 68-year-old stated.

“But the development of this team is not complete. To help achieve this, they have for the coming season rightly removed a good coach [Jupp Heynckes] and in Pep Guardiola taken on probably the best coach in the world.

“He helped [Barca] to play the best football in the world. And if you combine this with the possibilities at Bayern then, sooner or later, there will be an improvement.”

“Bayern have, over the past decades, been reputable and very successful,” the former playmaker continued.

“And that puts them in a position to do business, with Javi Martinez the most expensive transfer in Bundesliga history.

“It was a successful undertaking. Martinez has helped the team gel and to stabilise its structure.”

“The Bayern players were able to get used to the idea of winning the championship for a long time,” he added.

“That could have led to inefficiency but at Bayern it sharpened the senses and that title was not enough for them. They feel that more is possible. Therefore, they have also placed a lot of focus on other competitions too. They legitimately aspire to more.”

Der FCB won 1-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt to win their 23^rd league crown. This was the Bavarian giants’ 11^th straight win and lead Borussia Dortmund by 20 points at the top of the table. Netzer stated that Bayern made a strong comeback this season after last year’s disappointments.
