Are you annoyed that you didn’t take this step abroad earlier?
No! I wouldn’t want to miss a single second of my time at Bayern. Nowhere else are you in the melting pot of attention as much as you are as a national player in Munich. I loved that so much, in good times and bad.
Take Flo Wirtz, who took an international step with his move to Liverpool. At Bayern, he would certainly have had an easier time adapting to the game, as he would have remained in the same league…
…things aren’t going so well for him at Liverpool at the moment.
That’s true. But it’s nowhere near comparable to the media attention you get as a player when things aren’t going well for you at FC Bayern. You’re in the spotlight every day. As a foreigner, you’re just not talked about as much!
