"Tah's inclusion doesn't come as a surprise considering his role as vice-captain to Lukas Hradecky in his time at Bayer Leverkusen. However, what did surprise Tah was how quickly he broke into a leadership role for his new side. "It was definitely something special for me to be elected to the team council so quickly," confessed the 29-year-old center-back (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
""It felt strange at first because I didn't really know half the team yet. Now I want to justify that trust through my performance, but also through my behavior off the pitch." Tah's transfer to Bayern was received with mixed emotions. But he has certainly kept his word, delivering a set of strong, consistent performances in his first half season in a Bayern jersey. Considering his leadership capabilities and professionalism, the German international's behavior off the pitch was never likely to be a problem, and as of yet hasn't been."
Bayern Munich operates a leadership council of five to six players as a bridge between the squad and club hierarchy. The current council includes Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Harry Kane, Serge Gnabry and Jonathan Tah. Tah arrived from Bayer Leverkusen, where he served as vice-captain to Lukas Hradecky, and was surprised by how rapidly he gained a leadership role at his new club. Tah aims to justify the trust placed in him through on-field performances and conduct off the pitch. His first half-season featured strong, consistent displays, making his acquisition a smart, low-cost move for Bayern.
