Karl-Heinz Rummenigge gave a remarkable insight into the Bavarian soul.

“Always wanting to win everything has been part of the DNA of this club for a long time,” said the CEO of the German champions in his foreword to the current “Membership Magazine 51”.

“I still remember exactly how my team-mate at the time, Jupp Kapellmann, explained FC Bayern to me a few weeks after my move in 1974.

He said: losing once is a problem, losing twice is a crisis - and the third time the coach is in danger.

Every generation of players at FC Bayern has had to face this pressure to succeed for more than 50 years, ”said the 65-year-old.

“It is the great strength of our association that it always draws the highest level of motivation from the enormous demands placed on it.

As a player, I have always felt that every defeat is something personal, ”said Rummenigge.

The Bayern boss said about the triple winners of coach Hansi Flick that he was “impressed by the hunger for success and greed that are in our team.” That Bayern would be at the top of the Bundesliga in this difficult season, “I underestimate These circumstances are extremely high, and at the same time I would like to make it clear that the Bundesliga has improved enormously in quality at the top, ”said Rummenigge.

Bayern have to compete at Hertha BSC on Friday (8.30 p.m., in the sports ticker of the WELT).

From Berlin they will then fly directly to the Club World Cup in Qatar, where the Munich team will start the semi-finals on Monday.

The opponent has not yet been determined.
