Pavlovic backs Bayern’s young stars to build a bright future

Aleksandar Pavlovic believes Bayern Munich have a bright future with fellow academy graduates Tom Bischof and Lennart Karl emerging alongside him.

The 22-year-old midfielder has established himself in Bayern’s first team and is now helping the club’s younger talents adapt to life with the German champions.

Pavlovic came through Bayern’s youth system himself and has used that experience to support Bischof and Karl as they make the step up to senior football.

“I’ve known both of them for a while. Although I never played alongside Lenny Karl in Bayern’s youth teams, we stayed in touch from time to time. I also played against Tom quite a few times at youth level,” Pavlovic told Sport Bild.

“I tried to be friendly and take the boys under my wing and be there for them. I think that helped both of them a lot. They’ve integrated well into the team and are now a big part of it.”

Pavlovic said the friendship between the three players has developed both on and off the pitch, as Bischof and Karl gain valuable experience at the highest level.

“We all get along incredibly well, not just on the pitch but off it, too. I hope I’ll have many more years with them, both with the national team and at FC Bayern,” he added.

With Pavlovic already an important member of Bayern’s first-team squad, Bischof and Karl are also beginning to establish themselves at the highest level.
