Bayern Munich youngster Antonio Tikvić among players who took advantage of exposure

There were plenty of winners and losers from Bayern Munich’s preseason tour through Asia, but one player who helped himself was 19-year-old center-back Antonio Tikvić.

After impressing coaches and teammates in training, Tikvić turned in a great performance against Manchester City and put himself on the radar of the coaching staff.

Tikvić is another player that fans can hope break through to the first team. It has not been a regular occurrence for many players to break into the first team. Like Jamal Musiala and Josip Stanišić, Tikvić did the majority of his development elsewhere, but if his progress continues, he could become a candidate for a loan or even evolve into a reserve player for the senior team.
