Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl can now sit back and watch his fine work play out — João Palhinha is a member of the club and ready to suit up for his new team.
That is music to the ears of Eberrl, who thinks Palhinha will be a difference maker.
“When Christoph Freund and I planned the squad, it was clear to us that getting a holding midfielder was an important piece of the puzzle. I don’t want to criticize any other players in the squad. João Palhinha has played many games at the highest level, is very strong in the air and is a very good player. We are very happy that he chose us, despite what happened last year. That also testifies to his exceptional character,” said Eberl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
The fun will now begin for Eberl, Palhinha, and Bayern Munich a a whole. A new era in the central midfield could be upon us…
