FC Bayern at BVB in the live ticker: who will win the Supercup?
Nagelsmann under pressure
If you've listened carefully to Nagelsmann at the press conference on Monday, it may actually be like that.
“To get the first title with the first win would of course be nice.
It's an important game against an opponent who started very well in the Bundesliga, ”said Nagelsmann.
"Nice"?
Determination sounds different, in the past people were used to brash tones from those responsible for Bavaria.
Waiting for Bayern's first victory under Nagelsmann is now increasing the pressure, but the 34-year-old coach doesn't want to know anything about it. “With the first victory you have to leave the church in the village for a bit. Of course we're trying to finally win. We would be happy if it works tomorrow and we will give everything for it. ”After all, only one competitive game has been played and the squad is
incomplete due to EM cancellations and injuries. You are happy when it works. There is no trace of the pronounced mia-san-mia mentality.
“The game has meaning because it's about a title.
It is of no significance how the season will go.
It's still too early for that, ”says Nagelsmann with conviction.
After all, the new season has only just begun.
Given the current situation, a defeat would hurt more than Nagelsmann would like to admit and BVB would ride on a wave of euphoria for the next few weeks.
“It's interesting again to see how far we have come.
Of course we have the confidence to win, even if Dortmund got off to a good start in the Bundesliga, ”said Nagelsmann fiercely.
Supercup: FC Bayern at BVB in the live ticker - Nagelsmann wants to stop Haaland
In order for Nagelsmann's first title to work as a professional coach, Bayern have to stop a man on the Dortmund side: Erling Haaland.
The BVB striker was directly involved in all five goals against Frankfurt.
The Bavarians have been said to be interested in the miracle striker for some time.
“It's a mixture of several things, we have to be extremely concentrated in the chain, he shouldn't have much space.
On the other hand, it is important to control it physically.
In addition to the quality of its graduation, it is very robust and fast, ”says Nagelsmann, revealing his plan.
"It's about being active in counter-pressing after losing the ball, so that the opponent cannot play so easily behind the chain." If all that doesn't work, Manuel Neuer is still the best goalkeeper in the world in goal.
