Hasan Salihamidzic explained FC Bayern’s scouting system. The sports director of the record champion explained to the ‘tz’: “There are so many footballers in the world. We’ll see which ones are suitable for us. When it comes to each position, we analyze what we have and what we need. We try to fill every position twice. We have divided the players into different categories for each position. We watch a lot of football, so the shadow team is constantly changing.”
And further: “There are a lot of young players who are making it big, but also players that we have watched and like. It’s always a mix. We are very well organized and work very precisely. We watch a lot of videos, and of course our scouts are often in the stadiums to observe. Marco and I then filter that and make sure that we are always up to date.” The name Mathys Tel must have been on the Munich shadow list at the time, before that same one moved to Säbener Straße in the summer. Real Madrid had also hoped for the bid.
