A 50 million euro enigma at Bayern
Image a question arises: ” Why is the 50 million euro man sitting on the bench? “. Last weekend, Bayern Munich beat Freiburg 2-0, but João Palhinha was not in the starting line-up and only came on in the 74th minute. After three competitive games, he has accumulated just 29 minutes of playing time, despite a €50 million transfer from FC Fulham. The reasons are clear: Joshua Kimmich, who has been repositioned in midfield, leaves little room for Palhinha, who has to compete with Aleksandar Pavlovic, Konrad Laimer and Leon Goretzka. Pavlovic, in particular, is in great form, which further limits Palhinha’s opportunities, especially against defensive teams. However, his importance to the team could increase against more attacking opponents, where his defensive qualities will be crucial.
