Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen skeptical of rotation
FC Bayern is not a club to take its foot off the gas.
Bayern Munich's CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen is skeptical about the benefits of rotating players in the club's domestic league, despite previous instances of doing so under Pep Guardiola. Dreesen emphasizes the importance of competition in the league and believes it pushes players to perform at their best. He cites the example of playing Augsburg in 2015, where Guardiola opted for a B team against Augsburg despite Bayern already qualifying for the Champions League.
Dreesen doesn't believe that workload management can be perfectly fine-tuned to ensure players are at their peak during crucial matches like the Champions League. Bayern has indeed rotated players, with Kompany prioritizing the Champions League and substitutions leading to dropped points. The club's approach in the current season raises the question of whether they can effectively manage player rotation without feeling the effects of fatigue, as Paris Saint-Germain experienced in their previous clash.
