With a win at 1. FC Köln, FC Bayern has made the bad atmosphere on Säbener Strasse forgotten.
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.
There was already news in this regard on Saturday.
The record champions deservedly won 4-0 (2-0) at 1. FC Köln.
There was a curious scene after the game.
FC Bayern: Strange scene after the Cologne game!
Manuel Neuer grabs a "legendary" souvenir
Manuel Neuer
, Julian Nagelsmann and Steffen Baumgart - we summarize the voices of FC Bayern's game at 1. FC Köln on Sky for you.
Manuel Neuer (goalkeeper, FC Bayern) after the game over...
... the cap and jersey exchange after the game with Cologne coach Baumgart:
"The cap is already in the locker room.
He asked me for my jersey.
I didn't enjoy getting his jersey back then when he was playing for Hansa Rostock.
His cap is legendary.”
... the importance of success:
"After the defeat against Gladbach, it was important that we get the first three.
That's how we performed."
... Robert Lewandowski, who scored his 300th Bundesliga goal:
"We're happy and grateful that he's playing for us.
He's a machine in the front of the box.
You saw that again today.”
... his comeback after the corona infection:
"It's a little more difficult for a player than for a goalkeeper.
I had my sessions with goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic.
As a player, you always have to run up and down, so you need a little more.
But Leroy found his way back today.”
Steffen Baumgart (coach, 1. FC Köln) after the game at the press conference about...
... the cap/jersey swap with Manuel Neuer:
"I've always wanted a jersey from Manuel Neuer.
And he asked me about the hat.
It wasn't anything dramatic, it just worked."
FCB coach Nagelsmann goes into it directly on the PK and assures: "It also suits him well, by the way. I just saw that.”
Julian Nagelsmann (coach, FC Bayer) after the game over...
... the win:
"It was an interesting Bundesliga game.
If we play one or the other situation a little better, it goes even higher.
Overall we played a good game.”
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 winter signings:
“With Lucas Hernandez we have someone who can play that. Omar Richards can also play this with a different profile. We also have middle players who can be used there, just not at the level of Phonzie. Lucas' tests were good today. We have important weeks ahead of us in the Bundesliga and Champions League, so it's important to sound out the market. I'm a friend of giving especially young players six months to integrate. If we bring a player, he has to work immediately. However, we don't have to sign a player and there's no pressure from my side. We have to improvise a bit, but we're not the only club in Europe."
... 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 brisk 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.”
