Bayern Munich Assistant Manager Hermann Gerland Praises Holger Badstuber & Thomas Mueller
FCB's assistant manager has expressed his delight with the development of Mueller and Badstuber...
Bayern Munich have climbed to second spot in the Bundesliga table after a disappointing start to the season and the German powerhouse also managed to qualify for the knock-out phase of the Champions League.
Two of the key players in the Bavarians' recent successes are youngsters Holger Badstuber and Thomas Mueller, who have been in superb form this campaign. Assistant coach Hermann Gerland is delighted with the progress of the duo.
"Holger and Thomas have both done incredibly well. But progress like that also depends on a coach who likes working with young players. That’s Louis van Gaal, and he’ll stick with his lads even when they make mistakes," said Gerland on the official Bayern website.
"I see it as my duty here at Bayern to help top-class youngsters develop. That’s always been my main task. And my biggest strength is the ability to spot which of the lads could end up in the Bundesliga, and which ones could play for Bayern... which are two very different things by the way.
"I’ve known Holger since he was just a boy. I was good friends with his father, but obviously, I was just as critical of him and Thomas as of all the other players – perhaps even a shade more."
