Hupu September 30th Bayern Munich midfielder Tom Bischoff recently accepted an interview with the club's official magazine.

Bayern official: Now you are wearing the Bayern Munich jersey. So, how do you feel?

Bischoff: "It's amazing! I always want to wear it. I think this shirt can make you more confident and give you extra motivation. After all, I want to prove that I am worth wearing it, and you will feel more responsible when wearing this shirt. So, it feels so mixed, but wonderful."

Bayern Official: In your speech, you said that you and Bayern are the "perfect combination". What do you mean?

Bischoff: "It took me a long time to think about which step is right for me. I made this decision not because our family is all Bayern Munich fans. I also listened carefully to Vincent Kompany, Max Eber and Christoph Floind to understand what they expected from me. I watched a lot of Bayern Munich games, and all of them worked. I think Bayern Munich's football style is very suitable for me. Attacking around the penalty area, pressing at high pressure, all of which are very suitable for me. And, I am a bit like a spiritual monster."

Bayern official: What does this mean?

Bischoff: "I am ambitious, I am eager to win the championship, I absolutely desire to win every game. This is the characteristic of Bayern Munich."

Bayern official: When did you feel this characteristic of the club?

Bischoff: "I am often asked what the biggest difference between here and Hoffenheim - I always explain this: the players here are as relaxed as Hoffenheim's players, but as long as they step on the court, you will immediately notice: everyone is eager to win now. I quickly realized this, and I like it very much."

Bayern official: What is your mood when you hear that Bayern Munich is interested in you?

Bischoff: "Bayern Munich wanted to sign me long ago. I was only 15 or 16 years old. At that time, it was too early. When I received an inquiry from Bayern Munich, I asked myself the same question: 'Is it too early?' - But this conversation with Vincent Kompany, Max Eber and Christoph Floind led me to a completely different conclusion. Max also sent me a WhatsApp, asking me whether I would join voluntarily or if he had to pick me up. After that, I made up my mind: Hey, I have to do it."

Bayern official: Then you train on Sebena for the first time. How did you specifically deal with this challenge?

Bischoff: "To be honest, Bayern Munich's chapter started earlier. I was still in Hoffenheim, but my transfer was announced, and then I received a message from Joshua Kimich. He asked for my number and sent me a text message directly. He said that when he joined Bayern Munich, he had never played a Bundesliga game - but he still believed that he could succeed. He also believed that I could do it, and he said he was happy and trust me. At that moment, I got goosebumps all over my body because I had so much trust before."

Bayern official: As a young player of Bayern Munich, how confident are you?

Bischoff: "I think you have to find a good balance. You absolutely can't hide, it starts in the locker room. During training, you have to send a message behind every pass. Once your teammates realize your football talent, you get into the team. Fortunately, that's what I do. But at the same time, I still admire my teammates. At Bayern, I see myself as a challenger. I always try to put in 100% of my efforts to prove myself. I'm fully prepared before and after every training. When I get a chance to play, I make good use of it."
