TSG 1899 Hoffenheim is hoping for another coup in the Bundesliga against FC Bayern Munich.
Last season, the team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß won the home game 4-1 and the champion and then Champions Legaue winner suffered the first competitive defeat in 2020.
In Munich, however, it was a 1:
Zuzenhausen - 4. “The motivation will be high, that's for sure.
We all really want to annoy Bayern, to present Bayern with big challenges, ”said Hoeneß before the game on Saturday (3.30pm / Sky) in the Allianz Arena.
“We're figuring out something.
For that we really need 90, 95 minutes of maximum concentration, full focus, total conviction, ”added the native of Munich.
Hoffenheim scored 13 points from the last ten league games against Bayern, with four wins and one draw.
For Hoeneß it is a return to his old place of work, where he coached the U19s for two years and FC Bayern II in the 3rd division for one year.
His uncle Uli Hoeneß and his father Dieter Hoeneß will of course be in the stadium.
"I don't think it will be the case that my father is for Bayern and my uncle for Hoffenheim," said the 39-year-old, referring to long-time Bayern boss Uli Hoeneß and the former Bundesliga player and manager Dieter Hoeneß .
