He has lots of international experience and leadership qualities." Blind, who helped the Netherlands reach last year's World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar, won seven titles with Ajax, making 333 appearances, scoring 13 goals and contributing 21 assists.German champions Bayern, who top the Bundesliga standings, resume their campaign against RB Leipzig on Jan. 20.
