Bayern Munich midfielder João Palhinha has not started a match in the Bundesliga yet, but the Portugal international is enjoying the experience.
Palhinha wants to win, though, and he knows it will not be easy.
“I expect a big challenge. I know that it’s a tough league with many quality players. It’s a physical league. I had some teammates, older teammates that played here and they told me that it’s a tough league to play in. It’s not easy here, but I’m looking forward to playing for Bayern and getting some wins under the belt. This is really important for us. Let’s see how the season goes,” Palhinha said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “I know from watching it in the past that most games are sold out. That makes you proud as a player, to feel that everyone is supporting you, or not as the case may be – but you prefer to play in front of a full house. I know it’s a physical league, an intense league. It’s not easy to win games in the Bundesliga. Clubs will try to give everything against us, and we need to give everything that we have, too”
Palhinha wants to establish himself and ensure he is bringing his all to every game.
“I think people remember the players that win trophies, and write their name in the club’s history. It’s what matters. Players at big clubs that don’t win things aren’t remembered as much. We all want to win everything here. The staff, everyone. We need to fight with all the energy we have to win titles this season. That’s really important for us,” Palhinha said.
