FC Bayern opens the Bundesliga against Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday.
Julian Nagelsmann's motivation: it should be more trophies.
But is everything already clear?
Munich – Julian Nagelsmann (34) was last asked for a photo shoot: FC Bayern wanted to capture their coach’s first championship in the picture – but the football teacher refused!
Due to a lack of trophies: “I would also like to take a photo with more of these things on it.
They wanted to do one of me now too, but I said: No way, how does that look like?" take it with them, but they didn't want to."
FC Bayern Munich is hungry for the title - but there are still a few question marks
From now on, Nagelsmann can start a new attempt to be photographed "with a little more jewelry" after the season.
The first step should be taken on Friday at Eintracht Frankfurt (8.30 p.m., Sat1 and DAZN).
The Hessians ask the record champions to kick off the 60th Bundesliga season – and the Bavarians are in the mood for the new football year.
"I'm very excited.
The Supercup was important and interesting to see how far we've come.
How do the cogs mesh and how fit are they?
Our eleven against eleven yesterday was also strong as a bear from most of us.
We made a really good impression,” reported a euphoric Munich coach on Thursday afternoon at Bayern-PK.
Nevertheless, there are still a few Bavarian question marks before the season starts, as reported by tz.de.

FC Bayern: The questions about the start of the Bundesliga against Frankfurt
Will
Manuel Neuer
(36) fit in time?
The goalkeeper also missed the final training session due to gastrointestinal problems.
Nagelsmann is still confident that his captain is between the posts in the Main metropolis: "The prognosis is good.
He will fly to Frankfurt.
He's better today.
That was just one night where it tore him down.
I assume he can play."
Is
Matthijs de Ligt
(22) ready for the starting XI?
According to Nagelsmann, the newcomer and designated head of defense is at least a starting eleven candidate: “I find him incredibly important.
Alone as far as the coaching is concerned – his presence.
He coaches every action, not only by himself, but also by others. "However, the coach does not want to burn up his second king transfer right away: "I would like to give a newcomer the chance that he can show his full potential on his first assignment." Means: de Ligt still has to be patient and the central defender duo Dayot Upamecano (23) and Lucas Hernandez (26) is (still) ahead.
Can
Mathys Tel
(17) prove his talent?
At the Supercup in Leipzig, the top talent's permission to play arrived at the stadium 20 minutes before departure.
Too late for a squad debut.
"He's making a good impression.
He has very good dribbling and a good finish.
But he is a top talent who has a lot of confidence in training.
That was the most important thing I wanted to see in training.” That's why Tel will take a seat on the bench.
Is
Jamal Musiala
(19) or
Leroy Sané
(26) in the starting lineup?
After his gala against Leipzig, Musiala is an indispensable part of the starting eleven.
"I praised him a lot myself, but in the end he knows: If he doesn't perform well, he won't play." There's currently no way around him.
Who is one of the eleven lucky ones who are allowed to play in the first Bundesliga game of the new season?
Julian Nagelsmann is spoiled for choice against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Before the start of the Bundesliga, Joshua Kimmich made a declaration of war in a tz interview: "Our quality is brutal".
