Giovane Elber: Bayern Munich must buy to compete with the best – Bundesliga news
Former Bayern Munich forward, Giovane Elber, believes that the club need to invest in this summer’s transfer window to buy new quality players if they want to compete at the highest level. He said that the Munich giants have some very good players in their
ranks but they are still not at the level where Barcelona and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid are.
Bayern Munich had a disappointing season last term as they finished behind Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga with 65 points. The team did not have a very good season in Europe also as they were defeated again by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, but in
knock-out stage this time.
Elber insisted that Bayern have to be a collective force. He praised players like Franck Ribery and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 and admired the quality they have. He added that the club needs players who can add to the team and wants the club to be a strong unit, like
the 2001 side which won the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League.
The Brazilian hailed Spanish giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Real Madrid and stated that they are the two best sides in the world. He admitted that he would like to see his former club at the level Barcelona are right now.
“We are not there [on the level of Barcelona and Real Madrid] yet. Barcelona played incredibly last season. Real Madrid have good players, but Barcelona was a bridge too far for them. At Bayern, the team is more important than the individuals. Bayern Munich
should be a collective force, Ribery and Robben are just part of it,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Stuttgart and Lyon player claimed that new signings, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rafinha-c30431, would certainly add to the quality but it is a long season and the Bavarian giants need depth in their squad to tackle injury problems.
The former Brazilian international also praised Mario Gomez for his sensational performances all season and tipped him to be a great striker in years to come. He added that he is delighted with the German international’s displays and acknowledged the player’s
brilliant comeback after a poor first season with the club.
“I am very happy for Gomez, because I have always said that he must stay in the team. I have always said that he much work hard and keep his head up. He proved last season that this is the way,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich have been linked to many of the top players in Europe. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049.
