Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha is confident his chance will come after falling short of expectations with fewer playing time than he had hoped. The

Portuguese midfielder joined the Allianz Arena from Fulham in the summer but has played just 154 minutes in six games in all competitions.

“I knew my time at Bayern would come, I worked hard for it every day, I fought for my chance,” Palhinha said. “

It’s not about how it started, it’s about how it ended. I just focus on my work, in training. I’m ready, whether I play 90 minutes, 45 minutes or five minutes, I fight for every moment.”

Vincent Kompany has prefered to go with Aleksandar Pavlović and Joshua Kimmich in midfield so far, with Palhinha left in reserve. Despite his lack of playing time, the 29 year old retains a good relationship with the Bayern head coach.

“He is a trainer of the new generation. What distinguishes his work is that he has a good relationship with each and every one of us.

It’s important for the team spirit, nobody feels alone. The coach is always open and listens to us. I’m happy with him.”
