in the next season. He admitted that Guardiola is a brilliant manager and playing under him would be a great honour for his team.
“Every trainer and their backroom staff do things differently. There's always something new when a new coach comes in. Team talks, training - it's all new. [...My] first impressions are really positive. He communicates really well
in German and fills in the gaps in English. We're looking ahead with great optimism,” the German international was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Ribery stated that the players are extremely motivated and every individual is itching to perform to his fullest when the new season begins. He added that Guardiola also speaks good German which helps the cause.

“Guardiola is unbelievably motivated. It's great for the players. He's completely committed [...] He speaks really good German, which isn't at all easy. Before we came out for training, he spoke to us in a very positive manner,”
he concluded.
Bayern Munich are currently one of the strongest sides in Europe and Pep Guardiola will be under immense pressure when he starts next season as expectations will be very high from the UEFA Champions League winning manager. The
