João Palhinha: Does FC Bayern’s entry fit into coach Kompany’s system?

FC Bayern really wanted to sign midfielder Palhinha for a year. And now that he has finally arrived, Munich’s style of play has changed fundamentally. But the Portuguese is cheerful and full of energy.

Truly no one can say that João Maria Lobo Alves Palhinha Gonçalves ever complained. Not a bad word has been said about the man who could one day write a gripping novel about one of the longest transfers in football history. A travel novel. Suggested title: When I finally arrived, the person I wanted to meet was no longer there.
