Palhinha stands by his decision to leave Fulham for Bayern Munich - Paul Vegas

However, Palhinha shared with BILD: "There's a common saying in my country: opportunities don't always knock twice."

"But in this case the train came a second time - and the doors opened again. All of this showed me once again what a special club FC Bayern is - and that people in Munich really believe in me.

"Bayern wanted to sign me twice and now it is up to me to take responsibility for the club, to become a great player for this club. I am not worried about how much money the club has spent on me or what expectations arise from that.

"My focus is on what I can do on the pitch. I'm here now and I'll give it my all, in every training session, in every game. That's how I've always done it in my career."
