A lot is expected of Gerland and his fellow coaches from next summer on. Uli Hoeness is demanding that, "An outstanding academy like ours has to develop a player capable of breaking into the first team every three years." Recognizing that Bayern is lagging behind the top clubs in Europe, he added, "It's why we've decided to restructure our youth policy from top to bottom. Maybe then we'll return to the forefront of youth football. We're not good enough it's something we're very unhappy about."

Hoeness left no doubt that the new Bayern academy is the most important project in his last years as president. At the same time the Bayern president is aware of the problem young talents face when joining his club. As the quality of the professional squad has been increased over the last years it has become much harder for Bavarian youngsters to challenge the experienced stars that come from abroad.

And still, Bayern might be one of the healthiest clubs worldwide financially and can afford to buy talented players for several millions. But foreign talents are not helping to make everyone happy. Even a global club like Bayern Munich has to consider a good balance between commercialism and tradition. Therefore it is vital to develop talents with a unique Bavarian identity.
