The Bayern Munich honorary president has expressed his admiration for the player and insists that the midfielder has developed into a brilliant leader over the years.
The Bavarian giants have been busy in strengthening their squad this summer and have been rather successful in doing that as the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-c35214 Starke have all signed for
the Allianz Arena outfit. However, there is still talk that the side has not been able to fill the gap left by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mark-van-Bommel-c24148 in the centre of midfield.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 but the 40 million Euros price
tag was a major obstacle.
Now, Franz Beckenbauer has hinted that the club will love to have a player such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325 in their ranks for the upcoming campaign. The honorary president claimed that the midfielder has developed into a world-class player
over the past few years and admitted that any team would love to have a player like him.
The former Bavarian stressed that Khedira was one of only few players who deserved some credit for Die Mannschaft after the European championships earlier this summer.
“Khedira is one of those prototypes - one who is prepared to sacrifice himself for the sake of the team. You can hardly find those kinds nowadays, and you really need players like that in your team. I have not been pleased with
the last two years for Bayern - if you only give 70 or 80 per cent of your potential, then that is just not enough and that is the problem,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Der Kaiser further added that Khedira is also a very good leader, which pointed to the recent comments made by him stating that Bayern lack a natural leader.
“Khedira has matured into a real leader and players like him are a rare commodity nowadays. Everybody wants to play like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, but there is only one Messi,” he concluded.
Sami Khedira’s place in Real Madrid’s starting line-up could be under threat if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 arrives this summer.
