‘We've gained an incredible number of friends’

Bayern's pre-season tour of China lasted five days, and included a truly packed schedule, with four training sessions, friendly matches in Beijing and Guangzhou, plus a string of appointments with the club’s Partners. Naturally, bus transfers and flights also took up a great deal of time.

All in all, it was a demanding and stressful program, “but the team took a very professional approach," FCB chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge exclusively told fcbayern.de. Rummenigge described the short trip as “very successful, because we've gained an incredible number of friends in China."
