Georgia Stanway has helped turn the tide for Bayern Munich as she 企て，努力，提案s to 勝利，勝つ the German cup 二塁打, 令状s KATHRYN BATTE... while Carla 区's Aston 郊外住宅 出口 shows 女性（の） 経営者／支配人s need more support

The most successful English player in Germany 権利 now is at Bayern Munich and, no, it’s not Harry Kane.

Stanway joined Bayern from Manchester City in the summer of 2022. It was a move that did not come without 危険s. The midfielder had been with City since the age of 16 and was 調印 for a club that had lost five of the last six league 肩書を与えるs to Wolfsburg.

But the tide is turning in Germany - and Stanway has played a 抱擁する 役割 in that. Her form in the second half of this season has been phenomenal and she has stepped up at a time when her team needed her most.

But like most players who returned from last summer’s World Cup, Stanway 苦しむd from 疲労，（軍の）雑役 in earlier parts of the season. England reaching the meant players had a very 限られた／立憲的な break between the tournament ending and the 国内の season re-starting. Several clubs were 影響する／感情d, with Wolfsburg and 兵器庫 苦しむing shock 出口s in the 支持する／優勝者s League qualifying 行う／開催する／段階.

Bayern themselves 耐えるd a disappointing European （選挙などの）運動をする, with the club failing to reach the ノックアウト 行う／開催する／段階 ? a 1-0 敗北・負かす against Ajax before Christmas 証明するd 決定的な.

But Bayern have not lost a 競争の激しい game since then. It is perhaps no coincidence that their form has 同時に起こる／一致するd with Stanway playing some of her best football.

The midfielder used the winter break to recharge and has been 解雇する／砲火／射撃ing on all cylinders since.

‘地位，任命する World Cup, I was 承認する because I just 手配中の，お尋ね者 to keep going 今後 and hoping that time would be the healer,’ Stanway told DW Sports at the 週末.

‘It only 攻撃する，衝突する me around December. My 団体／死体 and my mind were not 権利. I was tired the whole time, I'd never slept so much in my life. The 業績／成果s I was giving weren't up to the 基準 I 手配中の，お尋ね者 them to be.

‘I knew that the 推論する／理由 why I wasn't in my A-game was because I was tired of my life. I needed to go home and needed to see my family.’

Five goals in her last five games in all 競争s has 論証するd Stanway’s attacking 質s, but the midfielder also brings a lot to Bayern off the pitch. She has become a leader in that dressing room, にもかかわらず only 存在 in her second season with the club.

Stanway feels at home in Munich but there will be clubs considering tempting her away

にもかかわらず not 存在 a homegrown player, Bayern’s fans have taken to Stanway as if she is one of their own. When the club 解放（する）d a special women’s only 道具 earlier this season, Stanway’s shirt was one of the best-selling.

There is a sense that Stanway is one of those players who does not always get the 承認 she deserves, partly because she is not playing in England.

Her 状況／情勢 is different to that of Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze, who also became 支持する／優勝者s this 週末 after Barcelona 安全な・保証するd a fifth straight Liga F 肩書を与える. Their 業績／成就s should not be 減らすd, but there is an argument to say that what Stanway has done at Bayern is more impressive given Barca are and have been so 支配的な in Spain for the last five years.

There is no 疑問 Stanway, who is 契約d with Bayern until 2026, feels at home in Munich but there will be clubs across Europe 重さを計るing up whether they should 試みる／企てる to 誘惑する her away from Bavaria in the coming years.

For now, the midfielder is looking to stop Wolfsburg winning a 10th straight German Cup. Bayern have not 解除するd the トロフィー since 2012 and the 競争 has been referred to as the ‘Wolfsburg Cup’ in 最近の years. With Stanway in this sort of form, you would not bet against Bayern changing that on Thursday.
