STORY: (NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS WITHOUT SPEAKER TEXT) Oliver Kahn, CEO FC Bayern Munich: “I think we now have one, yes, one of the best squads in Europe. And yet the continuity, the continuity of performance of the team is not really , really got better. And now then, with the beginning of the second half of the season, we can of course not be satisfied with these, with the results, but also with the performances we have often shown. That’s just the claim. That’s the claim, the we as FC Bayern Munich have. That is the claim that is anchored in the DNA of FC Bayern. And we all know that after the winter break, we started with three draws. Then it was very, very difficult in the And, if you look at everything now, to this day, we’ve won five out of ten games in the Bundesliga, drawn three and lost two.I like to repeat myself again: That’s not, that’s not our claim and the team has already articulated it.” // “But since we now saw our goals as being at risk, not only for this season but also for the next, we eventually came to the conclusion that we should release Julian. So the bottom line is that it was very, very well thought out . It was a process. And certainly not any emotional emotional reaction here right now because of a game.” Hasan Salihamidžić, Bayern Munich sporting director: “And, as I said before, we saw that this was no longer a phase, but that this constellation between team and coach was no longer right and we had to make a decision. As I said before, it hasn’t been an easy decision. But when that performance curve is pointing down, constantly, you have to react, you have to make a decision, no matter how tough it is.”
