(Reuters) - American defender Chris Richards is confident a return to Bayern Munich from his loan spell at Hoffenheim next season will be accompanied with a spot in the German champions' starting lineup.
The hugely talented 21-year-old, who joined Bayern from FC Dallas' U-19 side three years ago, has been loaned out to Hoffenheim as he looks to improve his game and return to Munich with more playing time under his belt.
"I think if I can continue doing what I am doing, continue to develop, I don't see why I can't push Pavard, Suele or Hernandez out. Anything is possible." "Bayern is like a machine. You get there and they expect you to slot right in," he added."You go to a team that has always had success and will have success for as long as possible.
With Bayern's defence this season far from solid, having conceded nine goals alone in their last three games in all competitions, Richards looks to have timed his move right.
