The Switzerland international believes no team will
fear the reigning German champions, while praising
Pep Guardiola's personal approach
Xherdan Shaqiri believes Bayern Munich 's
successful 2012-13 campaign will only serve as
motivation for their rivals to attempt to beat the
Bavarians.
Bayern became the first German team in history to
win the treble last term, but Shaqiri does not think
their dominance will frighten any of the big teams
in Europe.
"Not a single big team out there fears another
team, so they will not fear Bayern either," Shaqiri
was quoted as saying by Bild .
"There's no room for fear in the minds of Europe's
best players. Every great player bans fear from his
mind.
"Nobody goes onto the pitch thinking 'Oh no, we're
playing against Bayern'. It's simply not like that. If
anything, they will be even more motivated to beat
the treble winners."
The Switzerland international then went on to
discuss his relationship with new coach Pep
Guardiola and hailed the Spaniard's approach.
"Pep knows exactly how to reach his players and
that's a great thing. He transmits to us that he
really believes in us and that's crucial.
"He's an incredible motivator and he's a lot of fun.
I have little doubt that we will have a great time
with him."
