Bayern director Eberl accepted an exclusive interview with 11Freunde and talked about the doubts and criticisms about his work.

There are criticisms that Bayern's lineup is too thin and that the Champions League may not have enough stamina next spring. What do you think?

"I cannot agree with this view. We had 22 players at the beginning of the season. After the return of Alphonso Davies, Musiala and Hiroyuki Ito, our lineup will reach 25. Although the number is small, it is very strong. When examining new players, we also paid special attention to their injury records. If some players are always injured, what is the point of a large lineup? We also hope to create opportunities for young players. The club's philosophy is to cultivate young players while achieving success."

Bayern also let go of three potential new stars this summer: Ter, Aznu and Wannar...

"Bayern's goal every year is to become the champion and go further in the Champions League. Kompany hopes to cultivate young talents, but we must make a choice. It is impossible for us to have top players in every position plus four to five young players. In key games, experienced players are more likely to come in handy. Therefore, we deliberately selected 17-year-old Karl, Mike and 16-year-old Chiara. We believe that. They have the greatest development potential. Although Terr has been playing for Bayern for some time, he has never made a real breakthrough. Now we can make a significant amount of money from his transfer, which is why we made this decision. "

Talking about the past, Bayern can always make at least one blockbuster signing in the summer window.

"Now some top players will decide their future later. They need more time to consider whether to stay or leave, because more and more international clubs are competing for them. Our goal is to achieve competitive Accumulate funds while succeeding in technology and enrich our fixed deposit account. "

Hoeness once publicly suggested that you complete the transfer plan as soon as possible...

"I also hope to complete the transfer as soon as possible, but the transfer market is unpredictable. After signing Tower, Bischoff and Dias, we basically completed the lineup planning. It was only when Koeman wanted to seize the opportunity to join Riyadh Victory that we had to take action again. "

There is news that you had hoped to use Koeman's transfer fee to sign a replacement?

"We do have an idea that if Koeman leaves, we have the money to sign a new player. However, the club's final decision is not to sign anyone anymore, only to rent. However, this is not a battle between the supervisory board and the management, but a completely objective decision, and we also support this decision."

On Jackson's transfer

"Two days before the transfer deadline, on Saturday, Jackson was already on his way to Munich. That afternoon I had lunch with Freund before the Augsburg game, and the Chelsea-Fulham game was on TV. In the 14th minute of the game, I caught a glimpse of Delap having to leave the field due to a serious injury, and at that moment I knew Chelsea would soon be calling. This lease needs to be stopped. As expected, immediately after the Augsburg game we started talking on the phone to discuss solutions. Fortunately, Jackson made it clear that he was keen to join Bayern, so Chelsea began to use their connections to find a replacement. The night before the transfer deadline, Freund and I sat in Sebena's office, and until 11 o'clock in the evening we still didn't get the news that the transfer was finally approved. It was clear to us that if we wanted to sign another player, we would have to fly him over for a medical the next morning. So we looked at each other and said: We can do a deal with Chelsea. This is the result of efforts from all parties. "

Hoeness said that Bayern is to the Champions League what Hoffenheim is to the Bundesliga. Is this right?

"We are currently trying to increase our own weight while achieving sporting success. In the Club World Cup, we narrowly lost to the Champions League champions Paris, and recently defeated the World Club Champions Chelsea in the Champions League. I feel that the atmosphere in the team is very positive, and under Hiroshi Ito After Hui, Musiala and Alfonso return, I will be happy to see what results I can achieve in the Champions League as a challenger."

Does it make you privately annoyed that Hoeness, a 73-year-old member of the club's supervisory board, publicly instructed the sports director on how to work?

"I have known him for 35 years and I have seen how he gives everything to move the club forward. I often called him for advice when I was still at Gladbach and everything he has said in recent interviews has also been said to me personally. I will listen to his advice and of course I will have my own ideas. Uli will always be Uli and as I said we also talked about it in our internal discussions situation and make necessary clarifications. At first, I stubbornly thought: I am not sensitive. Then I realized: of course I am sensitive when I believe in something, after all, I am passionate about it, and I cannot do what I think is best for the club. I have my own ideas and I want to show what I believe in.
