Bayern Honorary Chairman Uli Hoeness recently revealed the secret of the club's success in an interview, while not forgetting to poke fun at Chelsea.

Bayern is unstoppable this season, currently maintaining a complete victory in the Champions League and leading the Bundesliga alone. Club executive Uli Hoeness expressed satisfaction. He emphasized: "The club has truly become a fortress again. All the statistics are excellent. We have a very ambitious team, an excellent coach, and the current external image is in line with expectations."

"Only the fixed deposit has shrunk. Of course, this is also because our transfer operations have not been as good as before in recent years, but as our operation in the transfer window this year is very good Very good, the funds are growing again. "

Hoeness pointed out that the current situation is in line with his perfect vision, "Bayern has spent almost no money, we have completed a lot of transfers, but the net expenditure we have to pay is very small. "The unexpected benefit is that the current atmosphere of our team is quite harmonious. " This obviously has a positive impact on the team with many stars.

However, for Hoeness, player value is not the primary consideration: "Bayern introduces players not by market value, but by what they can bring to Bayern. I always only want players who want to play for us, grow here, and play for as long as possible while having stable performance. The idea of increasing value through outstanding performance has never been important to me. "

Hoeness said He said that he "does not treat players as commodities that can be bought and sold. Although it is sometimes inevitable, what I love most are those players who we bring in to fit the team and give their best."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but ridicule the London club: "Chelsea has about 40 players, and they probably have to drive articulated buses to participate in games."

The supervisory board member believes that the relatively streamlined lineup is not a problem. Hoeness praised: "Now I find that the opposite is true, because our coach cooperates with us tacitly and never complains about the lack of players. Instead, he boldly uses young people like Lennart Karl and Tom Bischoff - this is a phenomenon that has not been seen for a long time. Stanisic and Pavlovich are also from their own youth training. This is of course the secret of success and the reason why our current situation is good: there are relatively few players who lack the club's identity. Because of this, we A solid and consistent front was finally re-formed both inside and outside the club. "

Hoeness once again emphasized Kompany's role: "Now we have a coach who protects the players like a hen guarding his chicks. He not only teaches everything on the training ground, but most importantly - he makes every player better. "

Hoeness revealed in the podcast that he invited Bastian Schweinsteiger to serve as the team liaison officer a few months ago. The 2014 World Cup champion and current TV commentator asked: "Do I need to come to work every day?" After receiving a positive reply, "Little Pig" declined the invitation.

After Thomas Muller's contract expired, Bayern once proposed "to send him on a one-year global inspection at the club's expense" to investigate the operating model of well-known North American sports clubs and prepare for his return to management. Hoeness revealed: "But he told me, 'It's not the time yet.'" The fans' favorite eventually joined the Vancouver Whitecaps to compete in MLS. Bayern fans and management are looking forward to his return to Bayern after the Canadian tour.
