FC Bayern contests the Bundesliga opener at Eintracht Frankfurt.
There are enough topics of conversation.
What do Julian Nagelsmann, Hasan Salihamidzic and Co. say?
The voices.
Munich - It's served!
The 60th Bundesliga season starts with the match between Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Bayern.
A more than interesting encounter, after all, the reigning Europa League winner meets Bundesliga returnee Mario Götze against the German record champions, who have been strengthened more than prominently with Sadio Mané and Matthijs de Ligt.
In this respect, the game naturally offers a lot to talk about.
What do those involved say about Julian Nagelsmann, Hasan Salihamidzic or Götze?
There will be a lot to tell at Bayern, as it is the first Bundesliga game after the departure of world footballer Robert Lewandowski.

We summarize the voices from the Deutsche Bank Park and on DAZN and Sat.1 for you.
Julian Nagelsmann before the game over...
… his team:
“We need more consistency.
We lost in the second half of last season, but we still became champions.
But to stay longer in all three competitions, we need more consistency.”
... Requirements for the Bayern players
: "We're trying to bring our own ideas and our style of play to the pitch."
... Eintracht Frankfurt:
"The opponents have gained a lot of self-confidence in the Europa League.
They have a very good coach, Mario Götze as a new signing and a frenetic stadium.
You have to be prepared for that.
You can also use the atmosphere for yourself.
They have a team that plays counter-pressing very passionately and physically.”

.... how far de Ligt is from the starting eleven:
"Not far.
He's making very good progress.
However, every player needs the prerequisites to achieve maximum performance.
He was five or six days behind.
But he has now caught up.”
Philipp Lahm (formerly FC Bayern) before the game over ...
... Bayern without Robert Lewandowski:
"It will be a different game, you saw that in the Supercup.
A bit more variable, no longer with that one target player that the game is aimed at.
Lewandowski has scored 30 to 40 goals per season, so I'm curious how they plan to compensate for that."
... the Winter World Cup in Qatar:
"If you award the World Cup there, which I find borderline, it can only take place in winter.
It's just too hot for the players there and you have to play in the winter.
The teams and players who are not traveling to the World Cup have a two-month break as a result.
I'm curious to see how they plan to stay in rhythm there."
... the master candidates:
"It's always about three or four teams that can become champions.
In the end, however, only one champion has ever won: FC Bayern.
(...) At Bayern Munich, only former players have held managerial positions for decades.
This is unique in Europe.”
... Excitement at the top of the Bundesliga:
"You have to see that things get more exciting.
At times there were gaps of over 20 points.
That's not the point.
The neutral spectator wants a championship that is exciting right up to the last matchday.”
