1.57 p.m.: That was the last question!

The PK has ended.

1.55 p.m.:

Question about Kimmich: Did he get vaccinated during the winter break?

“I don't want to and can't say anything about that.

It's a private matter, ”replies Nagelsmann.

13:54:

Nagelsmann on tomorrow's game and the opponent Gladbach: "To be honest: I already have thoughts of revenge.

I want to win, no matter which players we have on the field tomorrow.

They played incredibly well in the cup, and we certainly didn't win in the league either.

You have a strong team.

You can easily box yourself out of the situation you are in right now. "

1:53 p.m.:

The Corona topic is spun on and on: "It's about the health of the players.

When we have nine professionals, that's not too many.

Kimmich hasn't played for six weeks and actually has to play 90 minutes tomorrow.

So do a few other players.

Nevertheless, I am preparing the team so that we can play. "

1:52 p.m .:

Nagelsmann on Ulreich: “I was very happy with his job, he did it very well for the week.

Of course, he also has experience. "

1:48 p.m.:

Nagelsmann praises a youngster who will be there tomorrow: “Paul Wanner is a player that I have in mind, that we have to support.

He's a great talent, very strong on the ball and incredibly fast. "

1:46 p.m.:

The trainer gets a little grumpy when he criticizes the club's corona management: "I'm not going to be aggressive, but I'm already tingling. I'm not an educator, I'm a trainer. Our players are all grown up. There is no option of not being able to go on vacation. Players need mental rest and should see their family for Christmas. At Upamecano she's in Senegal, that can't be changed. I don't know why we now have more cases than others. What I can say is that we're ramming the chopsticks in relatively far, maybe that's why. It's just unhappy. Why should I cry now? I was only eating and got infected, that happens. "

1:41 p.m .:

Nagelsmann on Goretzka: “Difficult topic.

Today it was clearly worse for him again.

We now have to decide what to do with the knee - whether we should continue to treat conservatively or whether we should have a look.

The course for him is wavy, sometimes it is better, then it gets worse again. "

: Nagelsmann on Kimmich: "Jo makes a great impression, has top physical values.

It's clear now that he's playing, but he just deserves it. "

1:37 p.m.:

Nagelsmann announces another Corona case: "Christopher Scott also has a positive test, so he will not be used.

It's not that easy anymore that you call people and they just come into training.

Everyone has to be tested extensively. "

1:36 p.m .:

“We do not know with all players which variant the players are infected with.

For most players, this is of no relevance to the quarantine anyway.

Our internist is in contact with the health department.

We have separate cubicles and no longer eat together.

There is only food to go.

We have a comprehensive hygiene concept. "

1:32 p.m.:

Nagelsmann about a possible game cancellation: "I can't say 100 percent how it will turn out.

We prepare and assume that the game takes place.

It's a challenging situation.

From a coach's point of view, this is still very attractive, you have to really think about it, make adjustments and try out players in other positions.

We were in contact with the DFL and have shown that we have few players available.

The decision is not in my hands.

I assume that tomorrow I'll be on the sidelines. "

1.31 p.m.:

Nagelsmann takes a seat: "There wasn't that much snow, so I didn't slide, I rather stumbled."
