FC Bayern: press conference with Nagelsmann now in the live ticker

Nagelsmann on the upcoming opponent: “They played the same order in the Bundesliga for most of the time, but now they vary in the cup. They play a lot more football than before, more flat balls. Belfodil is one of the most underrated players in the Bundesliga, incredibly difficult to defend. With Richter and “Serdar, there are good footballers on the outside. It’s more the footballing, courageous approach that Korkut also demands. The rest of the defense will be very important for us. In the end, against Wolfsburg, you saw that there are many spaces to attack from . But they also defend much more actively and aggressively.”

Nagelsmann on the break in the DFB Cup: “It didn’t affect me emotionally anymore, at some point you have to put it aside. They were bizarre games and now there’s a great opportunity for the remaining Bundesliga teams to win the thing. I was happy to be able to train. You have to look ahead. “

Nagelsmann about Zakaria: “I think a lot of players are good. It’s also a duty to always discuss players who are on free transfers.”

Nagelsmann on Neuer’s influence on Nübel’s future: “As long as he’s playing at this level, it’s difficult for any player to get past him. Manuel is still the best goalkeeper because he’s very consistent in every aspect of the goalkeeping game. I can’t imagine it abruptly with 36 stops. We can analyze the situation when the time comes. Both are currently playing and are satisfied.”

Nagelsmann on playoffs in the Bundesliga: “It’s not an attack on FC Bayern. I’m assuming that we’d be there too and could prevail. You have to be careful not to watch the sport too often on television. Otherwise it becomes uninteresting. The sport lives on the fans. If there are too many games, the load on the players becomes too high and the level goes down. The whole structure suffers as a result. I’m always open and ready to have discussions. Changes don’t happen that quickly.”

Nagelsmann on a Neuer extension: “I don’t know if contractual issues are being discussed. I know that he still has a contract and is an outstanding goalkeeper. You could see right away that he played an outstanding game against Köln from der Kalten after one session. Such quality it will last a few more years.”

Nagelsmann on Davies’ absence: “Lucas can defend in the back four on the left, he has other strengths up front, especially in passing. But we solved that recently with other staff and have several options. We can also play it classically with defensive players or with a hybrid variant. Ours Idea doesn’t depend on a player, that would be an indictment.”

Nagelsmann on Kimmich’s role: “I like to see him in both positions. It doesn’t matter for his quality. If everything goes normally, it will be more towards sixth.”

Nagelsmann on the personnel situation: “The situation at Goretzka is well known. Stanisic is making good progress and should start training next week. Two players are at the Africa Cup of Nations. We did exercise control. We took Tolisso out yesterday, Neuer today. Leroy has a bit of a problem. We’ll decide that tomorrow. But I don’t see any danger.

Nagelsmann on his good record against Berlin: “It’s more of a coincidence. We didn’t always play exceptionally well in Berlin. Niklas Süle once threw a ball in from 40 meters. If you have a positive record, you should make sure it stays that way.”

Coach Nagelsmann is here. It starts without press spokesman Dieter Nickles, who tested positive for Corona and is in quarantine.

Before start: With Robert Lewandowski, Nagelsmann can still fall back on a world footballer. The Pole successfully defended his title during the week, just ahead of Lionel Messi.

Before start: In the past few days, the personnel situation in Munich has eased further. Among other things, Lucas Hernandez returned to team training after recovering from corona disease. Is he already an option against Hertha and what about the other corona cases?

Before start: Julian Nagelsmann made his way to the podium at 1.30 p.m. as planned to answer the journalists’ questions.
