"I'm going to make them pee their pants with fear. The famous quote comes from Salihamidzic, and the "they" in it refers to Real Madrid. Of course, this is just a joke, but it reflects the high morale of the Bosnian star, and also euphemistically shows the strength comparison between Bayern and Real Madrid at the beginning of the 21st century. What is still fresh in people's memories is that in the 1999-00 Champions League group stage, Bayern defeated Real Madrid twice 4:1 at home and 4:2 away, and Salihamidzic played well in these two games, causing Real Madrid's left-sided defenders a headache. A year later, Salihamidzic won the Champions League trophy with Bayern Munich as the team's main right midfielder.
Speaking of Salihamidzic, it is impossible not to mention Hamburg's formidable scouting and academy system, which found the 15-year-old from war-torn Bosnia and Herzegovina and signed him. Upon arriving in Germany, Sali immediately became the star of hope for the Hamburg youth team. After a few years of honing his career in the youth and second teams, Sarri began playing for the first team in the Bundesliga. During his three years in Hamburg, Salihamidzic lived up to his talent and became an absolute mainstay of the team, scoring goals and providing assists to the team. In 1998, Salihamidzic moved to Bayern.
After coming to Bayern, Salihamidzic, who was originally a striker, was transformed into a right midfielder and immediately became the main choice for Bayern's right wing. Heathfield also gave Sully plenty of freedom and room to perform. Possessing excellent explosiveness and speed, Sarri has become a veritable "angel wing", a nightmare for opponents' defenders on the left side. In addition, Sully's lively personality and high morale also won the love of the fans, and he became the darling of the fans in a short period of time. In 2001, Salihamidzic reached the pinnacle of his career when he reached the top of Europe with Bayern. In the following seasons, due to the needs of the team, Sarri played in a number of positions and became a versatile player. Sarly, on the other hand, has done well in several positions and has few shortcomings.
Just as Salihamidzic was enjoying the spring breeze, he was plagued by injuries. Repeated injuries have shaken his position in the team's main position. Sarri had to leave Juventus in search of opportunities, where Sarri was still plagued by injuries. After four seasons at Juventus, Sali returned to the Bundesliga to join Wolfsburg and retired in 2012.
During his career, Salihamidzic spent nine years at Bayern Munich, making 216 Bundesliga appearances, contributing 35 goals, winning six Bundesliga titles, four German Cups, two League Cups, one Champions Cup and one Toyota Cup. After retiring as a player, Salihamidzic became Bayern's sporting director in 2017 and became sporting director in 2020. As manager, Salihamidzic won six more Bundesliga titles, two German Cups, one Champions Cup, one UEFA Super Cup and one Club World Cup for Bayern.
