About Hansi Flick
“You don’t win seven titles if you’re not good”
“When Flick is with us, he comes to my office three times a week to have coffee and talk about everything. He needs contacts he can trust and I’m sorry, if I say, he wasn’t in the German Federation, when he was coach. You don’t win seven titles in a year and a half if you’re not a good coach. I told him then: ‘Be careful,’” he recalled.

About Robert Lewandowski
“I have never seen a more honest player than him”
“There are several signings that are important for Bayern. One of them is Robert Lewandowski. He is a goal-scoring machine, really good. I have never seen a more honest player than him. I spoke to him about whatever. He always gave me an honest answer, and not a prefabricated or favorable answer. You have to understand that this is an incredibly important mentor to me.”
