... a barbecue party as the reason for the good atmosphere within the team: “Oh, there was one before the season. We do that again and again as a team when it is convenient that we all come together. Overall, we have a very good atmosphere in the dressing room. It's clear that we don't all have to be best friends, but we all get on well and respect each other. You can tell that the processes are very familiar and you can also see that on the pitch that everyone is there for the other. "

... the comparison between the 7-1 World Cup win and the 8-2 win against Barcelona: “I think the games were very different. It was different against Brazil. We didn't control as much as we did in this game. Although we met a very good Barcelona in the first 20 or 30 minutes. Then we went one level up and controlled the game. It was different against Brazil. We were just in the river. You could see that the final against Argentina wasn't easy. The next game is always the hardest. It's not for nothing that our opponent is where he is. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... the reasons for his good shape: “There are several details. It is important that you get the trust of the coach and have fun with football. That’s all given. That helped. I also get more minutes on the pitch and enjoy every second with FC Bayern. Traveling and everything else is a lot of fun. That's why I think things have been going better since the coach change. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... the tactical guidelines from Hansi Flick: “I think the whole team benefits from the clear plan under Hansi Flick. Not only me. We know the system from previous years under Pep. It doesn't have that much to do with my personal football. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... the fitness of the team: “Big compliments to Holger Broich and the whole coaching team for how they planned everything during the breaks. I think that was the key. As soon as it was possible, we started training. You can see that we are physically in a very good mood. Especially in tournaments like this it is important to be able to go one step further when the opponent is perhaps tired. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... the quarter-finals between Lyon and Manchester: “A few watched it together, a couple followed it in the room. But everyone saw it. Of course we were surprised, but Lyon had already thrown Turin out. It was a weird game because Manchester had a lot of possession. But we don't care who we play against, we just want to go to the final. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... the strength of the Bundesliga: “It's a snapshot. So you can't tell now which league is stronger. But it does show that there is good work here in Germany, also at other clubs. But you shouldn't forget that the English and Spanish clubs have always been in the final or semi-finals recently. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... the solo by Alphonso Davies: “I say Wow! That was made world class. There is not often such a talented boy. I'm happy for him because he's a personable and down-to-earth boy off the pitch. There is still a lot of potential in there, it will be much better. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... his difficult time in the past: “I always gave up and never gave up. And now I want to do my part to ensure that we are successful as a team. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
. .. the coaching team: “We also worked well beforehand. It has a bit to do with luck and bad luck. It's normal to get frustrated when you're not in such a good phase. As a defender it is of course more difficult to get in because you are not substituted on as often as on the offensive. Of course we owe a lot to the coaching team, without them none of this would be possible. "

... about the CL success in 2013: “To be honest, I noticed from day one that something was going on. That was our big goal for the season. We played better in the Champions League from the start than maybe in the Bundesliga. We were extremely greedy the whole time, you noticed that too. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... Flick: “It has developed absolutely positively. It's a different job, of course, than that of the national team. I have already experienced him there very positively, he was already an important contact person for me there, he took a lot of time. His speeches are very good, the training is fun. He's not more distant, he has less time, but you can still talk to him about topics other than football. "
Jerome Boateng on ...
... Kimmich as right-back: “Of course there is a difference because Pavard can also play in central defense. Joshua has played the position on the right for many years. He has more urge to move forward. He interprets the position a little differently. But both of them do it very, very strongly. We all complement each other well. "
