In an interview with Sport BILD today, Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen was reluctant to suggest the Bavarians already have one hand on the Bundesliga title.
“Vincent Kompany and Harry Kane said yesterday that we still have 10 games to play. We've already had an 11-point lead in the season and we saw that things can go quickly with a draw or a defeat.
“But of course we don't want to give up this lead. We'll focus from game to game and keep the concentration up,” the 58-year-old explained.
When asked about Bayern president Herbert Hainer's comments aimed at abolishing the 50+1 rule, Dreesen supported his colleague's statement in favour of greater competition.
“Herbert Hainer has reiterated our stance recently. We're of the opinion that every club should be able to decide for itself what to do. We need a strong and competitive Bundesliga to stay motivated and push ourselves.
“I hope our colleagues in Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, VfB Stuttgart, RB Leipzig and everywhere can also take steps and keep up with us,” Dreesen added.
