FC Bayern Munich will face RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Hansi Flick was at the press conference beforehand - one question didn't quite fit into the picture.
Munich - first against second, tradition against modernity, title collectors against newcomers: when FC Bayern Munich * meets RB Leipzig * on Saturday, there are a lot of stories to tell.
As different as the two clubs are, there is one point where they are alike: They belong to the German football elite.
And of course every player dreams of playing at such a top level one day - especially at FC Bayern Munich.
Joseph Aidoo had recently underlined this again.
Joseph who?
Admittedly, this name should only be known to true football connoisseurs.
The 25-year-old from Ghana is a central defender and currently plays for the Spanish first division club Celta Vigo.
The self-confident young man recently drew attention to himself with an amazing statement: "I will play for Bayern in the future *."

Is it really like that?
At FCB they are more likely to be looking for players with a different format.
At the press conference before the game against Leipzig (here in the live ticker), Hansi Flick was approached on Aidoo.
Sport1
reporter Florian Plettenberg had investigated - and Flick was initially not amused.
“Mr. Plettenberg, nice.
Really, such an Easter question - madness, ”he said, shaking his head.
His focus is now on Leipzig.
Sure, what else should Flick * answer?
“I can't and don't want to say anything about that,” he continued.
With that, the issue of Aidoo seemed over.
But then the Bayern coach was still in the mood to talk - and sent a clear message to the journalist: “
You can ask Brazzo the question
- does the scouting department know him?
If he has the disposition and the quality accordingly, I do believe that he will be dealt with.
That is why it is something that could perhaps be put differently. "
Joseph Aidoo: National player from Ghana suddenly a topic at Bayern Munich?
Plettenberg was pleased with the “great answer” and Flick responded: “Okay, if you are satisfied, then it's okay.
Then I hope that tomorrow we can fly from Leipzig to Munich satisfied.
Beautiful Easter."
Ultimately, the courageous statement by national player Aidoo actually paid off and who knows - maybe sports director Hasan Salihamidzic * and his scouting department are really taking a closer look?
A central defender from Ghana would certainly not be a novelty at Bayern: Samuel Kuffour even made it to the club legend.
