The former Hoffenheim goalkeeper has admitted that it was not easy for him to accept a role on the bench but is happy with his move to Allianz Arena.
The goalkeeper put in some impressive performances for Hoffenheim last season and was one of the few positives that the club could take from an otherwise dismal campaign. The player was disappointed at the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Wiese-c35108
in the summer and decided to leave for another challenge.
Bayern Munich stepped in to acquire his services as Hans-Jorg Butt played his last season and the club needed a replacement. The shot stopper signed for an undisclosed fee and signed a three-year deal with the former German champions.
Strake admitted that he was initially not satisfied with his role of a backup player but insisted that he is delighted to have secured a move to a club of the stature of Bayern Munich. He claimed that the arrival of Wiese in Hoffenheim
would have also put him in a bench role but at a club like Bayern, there is a great chance of winning trophies.
“It wasn't easy for me in some ways. I spent six seasons as a number one, and my plan was to remain first choice, but after thinking it over briefly, the decision was made relatively quickly. The chance of competing for trophies
with a club playing world-class football. That's definitely something you want to have done,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the glovesman added that he will fight for his place in the squad which will certainly not be an easy task considering http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 will be at the helm of affairs. He is willing to give his all in a bid to win
titles and is looking forward to the new season.
“Every player has room to improve and if there's someone working hard and committing himself in the background, it boosts everyone's performance,” he concluded.
