With a win at 1. FC Köln, FC Bayern wants to make people forget the bad atmosphere on Säbener Strasse.
What do Julian Nagelsmann and Co. say about the game?
Cologne/Munich – So far things have been modest at FC Bayern* this year – both in terms of sport and staff.
At the start of the second half of the Bundesliga, the Corona-stricken team coached by Julian Nagelsmann* suffered a 1-2 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Now two regular players, Leon Goretzka (patellar tendon) and Alphonso Davies (inflammation of the heart muscle), are out for an indefinite period.
Therefore, Nagelsmann has already indicated that he is not opposed to winter transfers.
Any news about this on Saturday?
Then the record champion travels to 1. FC Köln, where brash tones could already be heard before the game.
Perhaps, in addition to Nagelsmann, the FCB bosses will even reveal something about newcomers to Munich in January.
FC Bayern: Davies failure?
Julian Nagelsmann draws a horror scenario before the Cologne game
We summarize for you the voices of FC Bayern's game at 1. FC Köln on Sky.
Julian Nagelsmann (coach, FC Bayern) before the game about ...
… the retro line-up that Sky showed before the game, which is why the FCB coach had to smile:
"With Alain Sutter I saw my former idol, I was happy."
… Davies' health:
"He's fine. Such an illness is insidiously not noticed. You only notice it when you're not 100% fit. It was important that we could carry out the examinations and diagnose the matter. It is of course bitter for Phonzie because the downtime is also indefinite. Can't tell how fast it will heal. It can be quite quick. But at least four weeks and from then until indefinitely plus x.”
... the Corona returnees:
"We test the players before their assignments. Lungs and heart are checked. Of course it's important that we get the players back quickly, but health is paramount. Therefore, only Coco
(Corentin Tolisso, editor's note)
was a case for the first eleven. For the others, we hope we don't have to bring them too soon."
… possible newcomers:
“With Lucas Hernandez we have someone who can play it.
Omar Richards can play it too, just not on the same level as Phonzie.
Lucas' tests were good today.
Nevertheless, it is our job to keep an eye on the market.
But it's not like I'm asking for that.
A young player would have six months to settle in.
But with us, the players have to function immediately.”
... Marcel Sabitzer as left-back:
"He has to find his courage.
He hasn't been a Bayern player for long.
He knows his qualities but has to be brave.
Then I also tolerate mistakes.
He should just play freely from the soul.”
... a possible pressing festival:
"It will be exciting to see, it could be a fast-paced game.
Cologne get a lot of counterattacks, that could be a chance.
We have to have a good structure after winning the ball, also behind the ball.”

Steffen Baumgart (coach, 1. FC Köln) before the game over ...
... his supposed brash tones on the PK:
"It depends on who says it.
I didn't mean that specifically for Bayern.
I've never said before a game that I don't want to win.
We have a lot of respect for Bayern, but we have a great chance of winning the game."
… his emotional speech before the games:
"I'm not thinking anything up, I'm saying something from the gut.
Music is always there, but there is no Bayern hit list now.
We're up against a great opponent and we want to win!"
.
.. Bayern's ability to switch:
"We know that we have to look back now and then.
But I want to develop a team, so we have to expect that.”
… the ritual of calling his wife before every game:
“We don't say anything special.
Just an "I love you" is enough.
She loves me, I love her.
I don't have to say more then.
She's right up there watching.”
