"I coached Emre for a few months here at Bayern 5 years ago. Now he has developed into a great player, very physical and powerful, I like him a lot. We have to remember that there is always a certain criteria when you are signing a player if you want to return to the top" Heynckes declared at a press conference ahead of tonight's Bundesliga fixture against Borussia Dortmund.
Heynckes concluded that "the most important thing for me is that the player's footballing concept meets our extremely high level. Not just his physical attributes and speed. There are many factors that play a role and everyone has different criteria. Not to forget, the player's character is important. He must also be a team player with social skills. He doesn't just have to fit on a sporting level. There is 20-24 young people together, they have to get on and respect each other, and their ego has to take a back seat. Therefore, the player's character and behaviour is most important for new signings."
