1:53 p.m.: That's it!

The press conference is over.

1:52 p.m .:

How dangerous is Union Berlin in the title fight?

"To be honest, I don't have the capacity to take care of other clubs right now.

I'm happy for Urs

because they are a friendly club.

We still want to stand in front of them on Pay Day,” the trainer said in closing.

1:47 p.m .:

Nagelsmann comments in detail on the criticism of his person.

"I'm trying to focus on my job.

I gave the guys four points.

As long as I know what we can improve in terms of content, I don't get scared or worried.

Then I can switch off.

If at some point I no longer know how we got to the last third or why we lose games, then maybe I need a tip.

I can influence things myself as far as I can.”

1:44 p.m .:

After the game, Nagelsmann was noticeably self-critical.

"I question myself every day.

After Augsburg I wasn't in a great mood, you could tell that.

I reflect and make my notes, talk on my cell phone.

But now I had no thoughts of resigning.”

Julian Nagelsmann reacts clearly to the criticism: "I'm not responsible for everything"

1:39 p.m .:

Was there criticism that Nagelsmann had to agree with?

“I take every criticism to heart.

It would be a lie that the last two weeks have left me completely cold.

I feel a personal responsibility, but I'm not responsible for everything.

In the past few weeks I've read my name relatively often and few other names.

I would say that I am a very decent person and that I treat my players properly.

But I sleep the same as the weeks before.

Football is a passion of mine, but it doesn't define my happiness in life.

But I'm definitely not responsible for the national team not winning against Hungary."

1:37 p.m .:

Nagelsmann on the game against Bayer Leverkusen: “I expect that we invest and act courageously and don’t forget that we are Bayern Munich.

We're not in the table that meets our expectations.

They have a good squad and a very good coach.

It's a top game, even if there might be something else ahead of it."

Nagelsmann sees "no two faces"

1:35 p.m .:

Why is it going in the Champions League but not in the league?

"I don't see two faces.

We can also lose in Barcelona.

We were very efficient in converting chances in the Champions League,” explains the Bayern coach.

We have a world-class squad.”

1:33 p.m .:

Nagelsmann on the Babbel criticism of Joshua Kimmich: “Everyone can express their opinion, we have to endure that.

In the end, it's about the manner.

He is an extremely important and hard-working player who has my full trust.

He knows what I ask of him.”

“There have been no new failures.

Otherwise we have all the players available.

There is nothing to report,” said Nagelsmann.

How did the crisis analysis go?

That's part of it.

I watched all the games again.

We discussed some substantive things with the team.

No new findings have emerged.

I contacted many old companions.”

First report from September 29:

Munich – the international break is over – and the stars of FC Bayern have not necessarily gained self-confidence.

Will the crisis summit against Leverkusen become a liberation?

Julian Nagelsmann was hoping for the return of released national players, which has not worked out with the DFB stars.

A defeat by Hungary and a draw by England weren't the results soccer Germany wanted with less than two months to go before the World Cup.

But what about the rest of the internationals?

For them, too, the international break was largely sobering.

France's Dayot Upamecano and Benjamin Pavard did not play in the first game against Austria, but they were partly responsible for the defeat by Denmark in the second game.

Matthijs de Ligt was on the bench in both of the Oranje's Nations League games.

After all: The ailing superstar Sadio Mané converted a penalty for Senegal.

On Friday evening the game continues in the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen, who are also suffering.

Nagelsmann can no longer afford many defeats.

At the press conference on Thursday at 1.30 p.m., the Bayern coach will answer journalists' questions.
