FC Bayern Munich will face RB Leipzig in the top Bundesliga game.
Coach Hansi Flick was expected to attend the press conference in advance.
The most important statements for reading.
12.22 p.m.:
That's it with the Bayern-PK!
Hansi Flick delivered a humorous conclusion.
Spain legionnaire Joseph Aidoo recently confidently said that he would play for Bayern in the future.
Sport1
reporter Florian Plettenberg asked.
You can read the reaction of Hansi Flick and everything important about the Leipzig game (here in the live ticker) here.
One topic made Flick particularly thoughtful at the PK - the great burden for the players, who sometimes have to play a game every third day (see 12:10 p.m.).
12.19 p.m.:
Will Joseph Aidoo switch to Bayern?
The Vigo player had offered himself.
“Mr. Plettenberg, nice.
Really, such an Easter question - madness.
My focus is now on Leipzig.
I think there are a lot of players who would like to play for Bayern Munich.
The focus is on Leipzig, everything else is not important to me.
I can't and don't want to say anything about it.
You can ask Brazzo the question - does the scouting department know him?
If it has the corresponding quality, I do believe that it will be dealt with. "
12.18 p.m.:
Leipzig is strong, make good runs.
"It's a top-level game," says Flick.
But whether the German championship will be decided with a Bayern victory?
"I'll worry about that when the game is over."
12.14 p.m.:
Flick about the Hoeneß proposal not to take Boateng to the EM: “That is his opinion.
I know it from Bayern Munich that you always support your players over the years.
I've always felt that way.
Jerome has been here for ten years, has won the triple twice.
He has made a huge improvement out of a difficult situation and is back in top form.
He was one of the guarantees that we won six titles.
I am very grateful to him, like everyone else.
He rightly plays the games he plays.
Ultimately, it is a decision of Jogi Löw what he makes of it. "
12.12 p.m.:
Flick on the results of the DFB: “I'm not worried, because my focus is on Bayern Munich.
The first two games were great, in the third one didn't perform quite as well.
I also have David Alaba with me in the team, who with Austria had to put up with four stalls against Denmark.
It is the case that the players are now focusing on the club again. "
FC Bayern Munich: Flick speaks on PK about the high burden on the national players
12:10 p.m .:
Flick about the burden: “At the moment there is no alternative.
An association also needs its games.
There is a lot that has to do with it.
The players are under a lot of stress - last season, this season, next season won't be any different.
Stress management is a topic that teams need to be aware of.
But also the national teams.
It's not easy because everyone has their goals.
But at some point a limit of resilience is reached.
One should think about it
. "
12:08 p.m.:
A question from the USA: The ESPN reporter asks about Lucas Hernandez: “It has not yet been said whether he will play for Alphonso Davies.
Lucas is - I have said this several times - an excellent professional who is valued in the coaching team and in the team.
We have very good players in all positions at Bayern Munich.
He does his job very well, is focused.
When he plays, he delivers 100 percent what we expect. "
12:06 pm:
Flick about Boateng, Davies (both dropped out) and Süle: “The same as with Robert.
Jerome was in very good shape, Alphonso is always good for us.
These are important players.
We slowly introduced Niklas Süle, didn't go along with everything one hundred percent.
But he will be able to play, we are very confident.
We will be able to provide a back four and we will adjust to the speed of the Leipzig. "
FC Bayern Munich: Flick over Lewandowski - Choupo as a replacement?
12:04 p.m .:
Flick about Lewandowski: “These are situations that you have as a coach.
I'm sorry for the player who got injured.
I would like to have everyone with me.
There is no question that Robert is important to us.
But I don't bother with it because it's not available.
We have players who can play in that position.
It is a challenge for all of us that we are happy to face.
We only know roughly when Robert will be back.
It's hard to say in detail.
Choupo is a player who shows his quality in training and in play.
I leave it open to me how we play.
But it is definitely an option. "
12.03 p.m.:
Is there a lack of mental freshness after so many games?
"We have the final spurt now," says Flick.
“Everyone knows that a lot will be decided in these weeks.
The players know what this is about now.
That is a quality of ours.
We now have to act as a unit and put everything in every single game. "
12 noon:
let's go!
Hansi Flick is here.
How fit are the national players after their return?
“Yesterday everything was okay, everything is OK.
There is nothing we can do about the fact that Bayern Munich players play almost all of their international trips.
I think they are used to playing to that extent.
You regenerated yesterday.
Today the final training will not look like it used to.
We want to take a deep breath, but of course also address one or the other. "
Update from April 2nd, 11:56 am:
The Flick-PK is about to start here.
We checked with the competition beforehand - the media round with Leipzig trainer Julian Nagelsmann is still ongoing.
The Saxons also have problems: With Angelino and Marcel Halstenberg, two important players are missing.
FC Bayern Munich: who will replace Robert Lewandowski?
Serge Gnabry probably has the best cards
First report from April 2, 10.15 a.m .:
Munich - It's getting serious!
FC Bayern Munich * will be visiting RB Leipzig * on Saturday at 6.30 p.m.
Summit meeting in Saxony - and a preliminary decision in the fight for the championship title?
If coach Hansi Flick has his way, that is of course exactly the FCB scenario that is desirable.
The triple winner currently leads the Bundesliga with four points, and a win would lead the bulls to seven points.
After that, there would still be seven games to play, but FC Bayern can usually no longer take such a lead.
Lewandowski injury or not.
FC Bayern Munich: PK with Hansi Flick in the live ticker - how is Robert Lewandowski?
And that brings us to the big topic: How bad is it really with the Polish goal machine?
First there was a five to ten day break, then there was talk of four weeks.
Some experts even stated that such a ligament injury in the knee can take up to eight weeks - Lewandowski * himself apparently only wants to treat himself to 14 days.
In short: a knee puzzle *!
The only thing that is certain is that the goalgetter will not be available against Leipzig.
So the question is: who will replace the center forward?
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is nominally the Lewy backup.
But does Flick also let him run against RB?
Robert Lewandowski: Will the Bayern star be replaced by Serge Gnabry in the top game against Leipzig?
The more likely variant is: Serge Gnabry moves into the center of the storm *.
The German national player knows the role of the wrong nine and has also played it in past DFB games - with him, Leroy Sané and Kai Havertz there was always an interplay in the center.
It is quite possible that Bayern are now planning something similar and relying on a high-speed offensive series: Sané, Gnabry and Kingsley Coman.
Maybe Flick * can shed light on the darkness at the press conference before the top game?
The Bayern coach is expected at 12 noon for the media round.
As usual, we are there in the live ticker - you won't miss a thing.
