Bayern Munich winger Juan Bernat has thanked boss Pep Guardiola for his belief and said that he now wants to repay the coach with his performances.
The 21-year-old joined Bayern from Valencia in the summer transfer window and has quickly become one of the Bundesliga side’s top performers, playing consistently well for Guardiola.
And, the youngster has thanked his boss for the chance and vowed to pay him back with performances on the field.
“Guardiola is a genius. He is very passionate about the game,” an awed Bernat told Goal.
“He has a clear philosophy that the entire world recognises and he is very close with his players. Guardiola was the one who brought me to Bayern and I have his full confidence.
“He believes in me and I want to repay him on the pitch. It was great that Guardiola wanted me at Bayern and called me to convince me.
“Bayern are in a positive flow, winning all our games while playing some excellent, dominant football. We have even had some big wins. We want to keep up this run of form. We are not thinking about winning titles but are focused on playing some good football.”
