Khdira: Bayern has no competitors in the Bundesliga, they cannot be shaken at the domestic level

September 12th News Recently, German star Khdira, who debuted in Stuttgart youth training and played for Real Madrid, Juventus and other teams, accepted an exclusive interview with "Kickers". He talked about topics such as Bayern and the German national team.

Q: Do you think Bayern still has competitors in the Bundesliga this season?

Khdira said: "For the Bundesliga, it is of course good if there are competitors. But to be honest: I don't think so. Although their lineup is relatively thin, German talented players like Leonard Carr and Westden Mike have very high playing skills and they will also get opportunities in the Bundesliga. I think Bayern is unshakable at the domestic level."

Question: The national team just finished the first round of match days. What do you think about the prospects of the German team in the 2026 World Cup?

"The World Cup depends largely on the state. Are the players in good shape? Not to mention whether they are healthy and available? I don't think we can replace two or three top players at the moment. If Schlottbeck is missing and Musiara is missing, the team will be in trouble. As a German team, you must aim to win the championship, and this goal must also be. But first, you must complete the qualifiers, do basic tasks, stay down-to-earth, and respect every opponent. First, you must win them in the 11-on-11 match. Then you can talk about competing for the world championship."

Q: Back to youth training, what are the young German geniuses that are exciting to you at present? Who will be the successor to Werz and Musiara?

"Leonard Carl is the hottest potential stock in our hands. He plays with spirituality and a special arrogance, which is positive arrogance. I like such players very much. They know very well in their hearts: I am very good, but at the same time still respects the long-standing professional players."

Question: We are now in the Porsche Football Cup, and this is the stage for these young talents. What kind of association do you have about this event?

"In the year I retired, we held the first Porsche Football Cup. The development of this event is amazing. Last year, giants like Bayern and Barcelona also joined, greatly improving the quality of the game. It can be seen from the number of spectators: 600 people entered the game on the first morning, and you must know that this is still a U15 event."

Question: You once called this event your hard work. What's special about the Porsche Football Cup?

"This is my hard work, because I personally went through a similar stage when I was in Stuttgart youth training. Especially at the U15 age, the children had no worries and just loved playing football. In particular, the organizer Porsche fully supported it and showed 100% investment. The event was organized very professionally and Stuttgart was in excellent condition. In addition, we could see the top youth football brought by eight international teams. This means a lot to me, so I support this event wholeheartedly."
