FC Bayern Munich – press conference with FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann: "Open" conversation with Cancelo

Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann held a press conference ahead of Saturday’s Bundesliga match against FC Augsburg. You can read his statements here.

FC Bayern will have to do without striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting in the derby against FC Augsburg on Saturday (3.30 p.m.). The striker is out due to back problems after beating Paris St. Germain 2-0 in the Champions League round of 16.

In addition, Matthijs de Ligt, Thomas Müller, Kingsley Coman and Leon Goretzka were slightly injured and tired, said Julian Nagelsmann on Friday: “We don’t know exactly who can start. We have to see how fit everyone is on the day of the game. We’ll be a few Having to make changes because not everyone is at 100 percent.”

The Bayern coach named Sadio Mane, Serge Gnabry, Mathys Tel, Leroy Sane and João Cancelo as candidates for the rotation, who had not played at all in previous games or had only come for short assignments. Benjamin Pavard, who was suspended against Paris, is also available again.

Noussair Mazraoui is also going “towards 100 percent” again after a pericarditis, reported Nagelsmann. FC Bayern definitely has “a few players who bring in freshness”.

Nagelsmann also reported an “open conversation” with João Cancelo: He “explained my personal past to him and told him how to deal with it. You can also develop opportunities from it, it was a very open conversation, not just about football. Ever since he has trained very well and also demonstrated joy and ease. I will reward him tomorrow for the last impressions in training.”

There was no criticism of Leroy Sané for allegedly arriving late at Leroy Sané. “He had an appointment with the physio at 10.15 a.m., so he was there on time, also on the training ground. But I’m not standing in front of the goal and checking the players’ entrance. That’s done with the penalty catalogue,” emphasized Nagelsmann – and referred to media reports , who allegedly logged Sané’s arrival at the training ground to the minute, as “moral police”.

That’s it. Julian Nagelsmann’s press conference is over.

Nagelsmann about Sané and Gnabry:

“Every player has their own character. It’s important to respect, accept and deal with the players’ idiosyncrasies. Leroy and Serge have extraordinary abilities. Leroy polarizes with his personality. I always try to support him. I’m not one of them He’s trying to change the character of the players. He’s one of the best players in Europe. We need him. The same goes for Serge. They have to be aware of their abilities. Both of them say they can be decisive at important moments. “

Nagelsmann on Lucas Hernández:

“It’s nice that he’s running again. But I haven’t spoken to the doctors yet, it was a very serious injury that takes a lot of time. There’s no need to rush. If he comes back healthy, we’ll be very happy. I would wish for him to come back again this season. But I’m patient for everything to heal. He’ll get the time too.”

Nagelsmann on Serge Gnabry:

“We had a good conversation, he played well and scored a good goal. It’s important that you approach it well. It was very good, he scored a goal and made a good impression in other respects.”

Nagelsmann on João Cancelo:

“As of now, he gets the chance to play from the start. When he plays it’s fine, when he doesn’t play it’s not. That’s normal too. He’s always had a good reaction. He hasn’t had one like that lately in competition training made a good impression, he didn’t like it that much. I had a similar case in Leipzig with Angelino. One training session wasn’t that good, but afterwards we had a very good conversation. Then I explained my personal history to him and said how you can deal with it. You can also develop opportunities from it, it was a very open conversation, not just about football. Since then he has trained very well and also demonstrated joy and ease. I will reward him tomorrow for the last impressions in training. I’m sure that what he showed in training he will show in the game.”

Nagelsmann on Noussair Mazraoui:

“He’s back in the squad, making a good impression. I’m confident that he’s back to 100 percent. He hasn’t forgotten anything about football anyway. I’m confident that he’ll be able to show good things in the game again soon. “

Nagelsmann on the bankruptcy in the first half of the season at FCA:

“We had problems with the way Augsburg played both in the cup and in the first leg. It won’t be easy. We’re adapting our style of play to the positively meant hectic pace that Augsburg is bringing in. We’ve developed an idea on how to do that I think we’re well prepared and doing a good home game.”

Nagelsmann on Sané’s delay:

“I didn’t see it. He had an appointment with the physio at 10.15 a.m., so he was there on time, also on the training ground. But I’m not standing in front of the goal and checking the players’ entrance. That’s done with the catalog of penalties. I I’ve already noticed that you at the Picture are the moral police.”

Nagelsmann on players who could get a chance:

“Everyone who was on the bench can play. We have candidates in Sadio Mané, Serge Gnabry and Mathys Tel who can replace the striker. Leroy Sané is a candidate to start again. Jamal Musiala can start again. João Cancelo is a candidate who can start. Benji Pavard is expected to slip back into the starting XI.”

Nagelsmann about the staff:

“Choupo is out, he has problems in his back that radiate into his legs. Otherwise, some players have reported some tiredness: Matthijs de Ligt, Thomas Müller, Kingsley Coman, Leon Goretzka. Leon has a few adductors, Thoma has walked a lot. There will be we’ll decide tomorrow who can start. We’ll have to make a few changes because not everyone is at 100 percent.”

Before start: The PC starts at 1 p.m. With which staff can FCB plan against FCA? Maybe Nagelsmann will have to report about failures after the game against PSG.
