  "account": "Edin Džeko, one of the greatest strikers of his generation and a cult hero for Manchester City, is not looking forward to facing Bayern Munich. While many clubs relish the opportunity to play against the league giants, Džeko expresses his reservations about the challenge ahead. \"Perhaps the games against FC Bayern,\" he says, \"They are so good under Vincent Kompany. He’s my friend and my former captain. It will be a tough game — not just for us, but for the other Bundesliga clubs as well.\" Despite acknowledging the difficulty of the matchup, Džeko remains optimistic about the upcoming season, stating, \"But jokes aside, I’m really looking forward to this season because, after 15 years, I’m back here again and getting to play against these teams.\"",
