When Christoph Freund is presented as the new sports director, it becomes clear why the Munich team brought him in: He should discover more talent and better promote young people. He only has to find his way into the club rules.
Christoph Freund didn’t want to say a bad word about his former employer and his homeland, you could tell. There was a lot of talk on Wednesday morning about “friendly relations” with Salzburg and the football club based there, FC Red Bull, about a “great relationship” and a “good feeling” with which he left Salzburg – but then, rather unintentionally , he broke the heart of his hometown a bit: “I want to be a Munich player,” said Christoph Freund towards the end of his first press conference as the new sporting director of FC Bayern.
