The Bayern Munich full-back is confident that his side can put the disappointments from last season behind them to achieve their goals.
Bayern Munich begin their Bundesliga campaign against Greuther Furth on Saturday at the Trolli Arena. The Reds will face the newly promoted side in their opening game of the season and will be looking to get off to a winning start.
Philipp Lahm claimed that his side was very unlucky last season as they were unable to secure any silverware and ended up as runners-up in as many as three competitions. The defender insisted that the players will have to work
hard to bring success back to the club and is certain the team can win the league this time around.
The skipper is delighted with Bayern’s squad for the next campaign. He admitted that there are some world-class players in the group who have the quality to achieve big, which in-turn is great for the club. Mario Mandzukic, Claudio
Pizarro and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dante-c10236 are some players brought in this summer.
“We finished second three times [last year]. This is not acceptable. At Bayern, the goal every year is the same. We want to be German champions. We also want to be successful on all fronts. We have a planet of players in the team
to take responsibility. We have so much depth [in the squad] that if someone struggles, it will not be noticed,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The German international admitted that the addition of new players this summer will certainly increase the competition for places. He stated that every individual will have to fight for his place in the first team and there will
no guaranteed places.
“Good players are always welcome. After last season, each position is being questioned and that is a good thing,” the 28-year-old concluded.

championships earlier this year.
