However, Freund has stated that this is not the case. He emphasized that Palhinha has not had the chance to settle into his new role due to injuries and that it's only his first year at the club.

Freund praised Palhinha, describing him as a true professional, a fantastic character, and a great guy. He believes that Palhinha will eventually find his rhythm and showcase his abilities.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany also weighed in, saying that Palhinha played well in the game against Augsburg on April 4 and has been unlucky with the timing of his injuries. He expressed hope that Palhinha will have the opportunity to demonstrate his skills.
