FC Bayern has dismantled VfL Bochum.
"If he's 100 percent up for it," he can hardly be stopped, says Coach Nagelsmann about Leroy Sané.
The voices of the game.
Bochum - "The defeat is still in my head," said Julian Nagelsmann before the game against VfL Bochum (here in the live ticker to read).
FC Bayern defeats are automatically remembered longer - simply because there are not many of them.
One of them happened in February of this year, when Munich surprisingly lost 4-2 to Bochum.
FC Bayern was eager for revenge - and broke VfL Bochum into its individual parts 7-0.
Before and after the game, of course, there was a need to speak - we summarized the voices of DAZN.
Simon Zoller (VfL Bochum) after the game over...
... the crushing defeat:
"We were completely screwed up today.
It's most disappointing.
We didn't have the guts or balls from the start and made blatant mistakes.
I don't know what to say.
We want to play what has distinguished us in recent years.
Instead, we run across the square like a wild flock of birds.
I've never been so destroyed."
Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) after the game over...
... Bayern's limit:
"We don't set ourselves any limits at first, we always try to do our best.
As soon as we warmed up I heard that our positional play is good.
That's always a good indicator.
We wanted to consolidate the processes and also win the second half.
The energy we have in the team now is very, very good.
Everyone grants everything to everyone else.
That was not always the case last year.”
... Leroy Sané's strong performance:
"He got out of his own crisis a bit and did a great job.
He is a player who is always a bit polarizing due to his style.
When he's 100 percent up for it, he's one of the best players in Europe.
He has all the skills, this technique paired with the speed.
It's always important to me that Leroy also does the untalented actions, i.e. sprints after him and gets the ball."
Matthijs de Ligt (FC Bayern) after the game over...
... the game in Bochum:
"It's unbelievable, we scored five goals in the first half.
It was important that we kept the focus high.
Today it was very important to keep the opposing players in the right spaces."
... the VAR after his goal:
"I had no idea what the referee was talking about.
I thought maybe it was a foul.
But the defender raised his arm.
I didn't do anything."
... his bank role in the first two games of the season:
"Of course every player always wants to play.
But I understood the situation, I was new from Juventus and Upamecano and Hernández played well.
But of course I want to play.”

Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) before the game over ....
... the short-term absence of Alphonso Davies:
"Unfortunately, Phonzie had high values.
He felt a muscle tightening in the back left.
It would have been too much of a risk.
He wouldn't have been able to bring in his dynamism."
... the high burden due to the Winter World Cup in 2022:
"None of us know what the effects of the World Cup are.
When the players come back, the hot games begin.
It will be exciting.
We have a balanced squad, a very good athletic trainer, so we don't have too many worries."
... the substitutes and rotation:
"It's not always easy for those who sit outside.
I want to give everyone their playing times.
The energy in the squad was very good after the first three games.
But everyone knows that they are not sure of their place and, conversely, that they get playing time.
You have to suffer together, be happy for each other, whether you're on the pitch or not.
It's a team sport.”
Hasan Salihamidzic (Sports Director FC Bayern) before the game over ...
... Bochum's 4-2 win last season:
"We know what happened here last year and we want to do better.
Definitely."
... the new team from Munich:
"We wanted more quality in the squad, to increase the width of the team.
Last year we didn't have these financial options because of the pandemic.
We had two or three plans, now it's worked out really well.
If things go well, we have over 50 games a year.
Of course everyone wants to play, but we have a good team of coaches who will moderate it."
... Bayern's most recent transfers:
"We didn't know from the start that Lewa (Robert Lewandowski, ed.) was leaving.
But we had one or two options on the table that we discussed with the coach: 'We could go that route if something happened.'
We still had one or two other chances that would have suited the team well.
The transfer market is still open for a few days.
But we are in a relaxed position.”
Thomas Reis (coach VfL Bochum) before the game over ...
... VfL's 4-2 win over Bayern last season:
"It was a special experience back then, and of course for the spectators too, and one that they will remember.
But today it's a completely different game.
We're happy that we've got two games against Bayern Munich again this season."
... the game against Bayern Munich:
“Bayern is in impressive form.
In the first few games they have impressively demonstrated the possibilities they have.
We want to go aggressively one-on-one and keep the game open for as long as possible.
We want to try to involve Bayern in the duels.
You will probably run high, there are spaces that you have to run.
Then there are opportunities.
(...) You try to attack Bayern in front and stop them from building up the game.
They keep trying to get into the rooms.
We will try to win duels in all positions and take away some of the fun in football."
