Vom Wunschspieler zum Sorgenkind …
João Palhinha erlebt eine durchwachsene Saison beim FC Bayern München. In der Bundesliga kommt er bisher auf 17 Einsätze – aber nur drei davon waren über 90 Minuten. Das Problem: Der Portugiese passt nicht wirklich in das System von München-Coach Vincent Kompany.
Dabei war der Mittelfeldstar auf ausdrücklichen Wunsch von Ex-Bayern-Trainer Thomas Tuchel im Sommer 2024 geholt worden, sollte als „Holding Six“ die Fäden im Mittelfeld ziehen. Doch Tuchel musste gehen – und damit auch der größte Fan von Palhinha.
Palhinha: „Die schwerste Saison meiner Karriere“
[–>Aufgeben will der portugiesische Nationalspieler aber nicht. Der Bayern-Star gibt sich selbstbewusst. „Ich habe Lust zu kämpfen. Wenn jemand zeigen möchte, was er kann, dann ich“, erklärte er.
Palhinha kam für eine Ablösesumme von 50 Millionen Euro aus der Premier League vom FC Fulham. Sein Vertrag beim frisch gebackenen deutschen Meister läuft noch bis 2028. Aber: Er gilt als Verkaufskandidat für diesen Transfer-Sommer. Die 50 Mio. Euro Ablöse wollen die Bayern wieder einnehmen. Vor allem in England genießt Palhinha immer noch einen guten Ruf.
Spannende Details: So will City den Bayern Wirtz noch wegschnappen
Auch in der kommenden Saison kann 29-Jährige nicht darauf hoffen, mehr Einsatzzeiten zu bekommen. Denn im Mittelfeld ist der FC Bayern mit Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic und Leon Goretzka bestens besetzt, die Konkurrenz ist riesig. Ein im November bei der Nationalmannschaft erlittener Muskelbündelriss in den Adduktoren warf Palhinha zusätzlich zurück. Palhinha erklärt: „Das war nicht einfach. Meine Verletzung hat mir nicht geholfen. Und als ich zurückkam, hat Leon (Goretzka; d. Red) gut gespielt, sodass es nicht einfach war, Spielminuten zu bekommen.“
„Keine leichte Zeit“ sei das gewesen, räumte er ein. „Um ehrlich zu sein, war diese Saison auf persönlicher Ebene eine der schwersten, wenn nicht sogar die schwerste meiner bisherigen Karriere.“ Jetzt will er um seinen Platz bei den Bayern kämpfen: „Ich werde alles tun, um meinen Wert zu beweisen.“

What Jayson Tatum’s torn Achilles means for the All-NBA player, the Celtics and the rest of the league
Getty Images Jayson Tatum's torn Achilles tendon, without hyperbole, is among the most consequential injuries in NBA history. Kevin Durant comes to mind as a similarly gifted player to suffer such an injury, but he was almost 31 when he went down in the 2019 NBA Finals. Tatum just turned 27. Only a handful of First-Team All-NBA players have ever missed a season in their 20s. Bill Walton and Derrick Rose were never the same. Bernard King eventually did return to All-Star form, but it took several years and he proceeded to get hurt again immediately afterward.A week ago, a Celtics dynasty was plausible. They were -900 favorites against the New York Knicks before their second-round series began. That number is +400 on Caesars after Tatum's injury news. Just by virtue of playing in the Eastern Conference, their path to […]
