He told BILD: "For months we were accused of not buying enough top-class or experienced players.
"That's precisely what's now a huge advantage for us, because we all decided together not to buy expensive players like Xavi (Simons) or (Jamie) Gittens, who had been discussed, or (Benjamin) Sesko, who costs €80 million.
“Instead, we said, come on, let's do nothing, let's just loan (Nicolas) Jackson from Chelsea. And that's how we ended up with a relatively balanced transfer budget. And we also have a coach (Vincent Kompany) who agreed to giving young players a chance."
