Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara has refuted all speculations regarding Zinedine Zidane’s possible takeover at the German club.
The German champions have had a rather underwhelming start to the season. Niko Kovac was handed the charge at the start of the season but his position at the club has come under intense scrutiny following Bayern’s four match winless run.
Bayern faced back to back defeats in the Bundesliga at the hands of Hertha Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach and have slipped down to the fourth place in the points table. There has been heavy speculation regarding Kovac’s future but Thiago has rejected all the claims.
“It’s just rumours. Rumours are rumours. Fortunately, there are many veteran players at Bayern and we know how to deal with this.
“We try to work in order to change this situation and move forward. We have to work with what we have now. Speculating on the future serves for nothing.”
“We started the season well, winning convincingly our first official seven games
“After the international break, we returned and the team was a bit tired, we started to lose the nuances and the guidelines that leaves a team having bad vibes. We go out looking to get a result but we concede after 10 minutes and then it’s like a bad nightmare, you think ‘s— not again’ and after that, it all goes badly.
“From then on, you are in recovery mode. We need to be calm in order to return to be what we were. After all, only two weeks have passed.
“We have this beautiful tradition at Bayern that we all get together with our families after the game in a room and celebrate the wins. That is why it hurts a lot more when we lose. We want to recover those nice feelings, not just for us players, but for the fans and our families. On the pitch we are competitive animals that want to always win.”
