FC Bayern welcomes underdog Viktoria Pilsen on the third day of the Champions League group stage.
We have the votes for the game.
Munich – FC Bayern Munich has the outsider of the difficult Champions League group as a guest: Viktoria Pilsen from the Czech Republic.
That's what the participants say before and after the game (live ticker FC Bayern – Viktoria Pilsen).
Hasan Salihamdizic (Sporting Director FC Bayern) before the game about ...
… the crisis that we survived:
“In the Bundesliga we didn’t perform as we wanted.
That's why it was so important to win against Leverkusen.
We have a lot of games before the World Cup.”
… about the time when he was a player in which Uli Hoeneß rumbled. Does he do that too?
“Uli had his style, we have ours.
We try our way of talking to the team and drawing conclusions - and that's what we did."
... Matthijs de Ligt:
"Of course we're looking at newcomers, it would be a lie if we said otherwise.
We'll see how they fit in.
They are given a little time to settle into this big club.
I think we've brought in good guys and they're fitting in well.
De Ligt is a super boy, also in character.
I knew he really wanted to go to Munich, he was our dream player.
We and he tried very hard to make it work.
Now its worth is showing.
We love him here.”
... Ryan Gravenberch:
“A young guy, a giant footballer.
He played an excellent preparation.
We really talk a lot.
We sat together at breakfast.
He is cool.
He tries to step on the gas in training and bring his quality to the pitch.
He didn't play that much, so it's always difficult.
He knows what he has to do.
We don't put any pressure on him."
... the failures of Müller and Kimmich and preparations for the Corona winter:
"We have to see how we manage it.
Man trying to find a line.
We have to see that we prevent it.
I'm not a great expert, but I take advice all the time.
The Wiesn has brought about a lot.
So we were careful, we were only there once.
We got through fine.
We lost two guys but I'm optimistic and hope we can do well.
We're trying to be careful and test and still not fall into this pandemic mode - and live a normal life."
