Overview
- Maier, in an interview published Tuesday, said Bayern’s scoring spree points to soft competition across the league.
- He noted Bayern sit near the century mark for league goals and said the team could finish around 122, adding he would be happy even with 125.
- He said records are meant to be broken and that he celebrates every Bayern goal rather than guarding old milestones.
- He praised coach Vincent Kompany as a grounded leader who manages a squad of international stars with empathy and control.
- He contrasted the 1970s Bayern core of local players with today’s churn of transfers and media noise and recalled being in goal for the 101-goal 1971/72 season and playing 442 straight matches.
