First against second in the Bundesliga: FC Bayern and Borussia Mönchengladbach are playing a top game.
The votes for the game.
Munich – Still a resonant top duel today: leaders FC Bayern welcome second-placed Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday evening (click here for the live ticker).
In recent years, no team in the Bundesliga has been able to take so many points from Munich - but Julian Nagelsmann doesn't want to know anything about the word fearful opponent.
"We're not afraid of any opponent," he emphasized.
There was a lot going on at the microphones even before the game.
We summarized Sky's voices.
Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) before the game about ...
... his personal change as a coach:
"A little less tactical coach and more leadership, that's a good way to describe it.
I have colleagues, players, advisors with whom I exchange ideas.
You have to walk a path to develop and I did that.”
... the quality of the squad:
"We did and invested a lot for it - time and money - I was in constant contact with Brazzo and was present at every appointment.
We also have to compete internationally and for that we had to improve the squad.
A famous player left us, but we also gained two famous ones."
... Jamal Musiala:
"Jamal has developed well and he's doing well defensively as well.
He's struggling a bit but he's on the bench if you need him."
Oliver Kahn (CEO FC Bayern) before the game about ...
… his role as Bayern boss:
“During the season we saw how quickly things change in football.
I'm there to stay on top of things and stay calm.
Of course I have to be available in this position when there is something to say.
But only if there is something to say.”
... the strong start to the season:
"In the first few games, the team showed what they are capable of.
We have created competition in all positions.
For example, against Bochum, Serge was there as soon as he came on.
This is important."
... Julian Nagelsmann:
"Before we got him, we gave it a lot of thought.
One of his abilities is to learn very quickly.
Sometimes he's offended and runs off, but by the next day it's already forgotten and he might say: 'Yes, you were right.'”
… the goals for the season:
“We want to win the Bundesliga and the cup, we have to have that much self-confidence.
We also have very big goals in the Champions League.
But it is always a very sensitive structure.
Last year there was another game where we fell from all clouds.
But I think we learned from that.”
… his laugh at the CL draw, which was misinterpreted by the Spanish media:
“There are now stories, it’s absolutely crazy.
Every now and then you just have to smile.
The day before we had a meeting at the ECA and I said: I'll bet you that we'll get Barcelona.
Football writes such stories.”
... the game against Gladbach:
"Our record against Gladbach is not the very best.
But I'm not a fan of digging out the last games now."
Daniel Farke (Borussia Mönchengladbach coach) before the game over...
... the game against Bayern:
"It's currently the biggest challenge in world football.
But we're looking forward to the game.
I don't think we can dominate the game today with 65 percent possession.
But you have to have possession passages to break the rhythm of Bayern.
You have to be disciplined and believe in what you're doing.”
… possible newcomers:
“We still have a few days left, maybe something else will happen on the transfer market.
I would not refuse qualitative improvement.”
