Bayern Munich midfielder Tom Bischof felt right at home at the club \u2014 and maybe because the onboarding process started weeks before he could physically make the move.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, the Bayern chapter started a bit earlier. I was still at Hoffenheim, but my transfer had already been announced, when I received a message from Joshua Kimmich. He got my number and simply texted me. He said that when he joined Bayern, he hadn\u2019t played a single Bundesliga game yet \u2013 and yet he still believed he could make the move. And that he believed I could do it too. He said he was happy and believed in me. At that moment, I got goosebumps, having been given so much trust in advance,\u201d Bischof told club magazine S\u00e4bener51 (as captured by @iMiaSanMia<\/a>).<\/p>\n It really feels like Bischof was destine to play for Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n With Kimmich \u2014 a direct competitor for playing in theory \u2014 working behind the scenes to let Bischof know he would be welcomed, it took away any edge or apprehension about the transfer.<\/p>\n Bayern Munich is cruising and heading into another Champions League, so let\u2019s take a look at the factors that have powered the team so far.<\/p>\n Harry Kane has been a beast, the squad is driven, and \u2014 by and large \u2014 personnel decisions have worked out well. Let\u2019s get into all of that and more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show. This is what we have on tap:<\/p>\n \n
