FC Bayern welcomes SC Freiburg in the top game.
We round up the voices and reactions surrounding the game.
Munich – At the end of the 10th matchday in the Bundesliga, record champions FC Bayern welcome SC Freiburg, which is better placed in the table.
The two teams are only separated by two points before kick-off and the Munich team could overtake the Breisgau team with a home win.
A three-pointer against Freiburg would come at the right time for FCB for various reasons.
This would not only let the last-minute shock of the 2:2 in Dortmund fade into the background, but also conceal some unpleasant incidents during the annual general meeting the day before.
Among other things, Uli Hoeneß made headlines with an outburst against Qatar critic and FCB member Michael Ott.
But the sporting season of Bayern, which has so far not gone according to plan, was also a topic at the AGM.
CEO Oliver Kahn made clear demands towards Julian Nagelsmann, who was present alongside a few players.
Topics that will certainly also come into focus in the interviews before and after the game.
It will be interesting to see what the actors will say about it.
We summarize for you the votes on the game between FC Bayern and SC Freiburg from DAZN and from the Allianz Arena:
Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) before the game on DAZN about…
…about the friendly exchange with Christian Streich and Oliver Glasner:
“Different.
From time to time via WhatsApp, sometimes a call.
There are no zoom calls or WhatsApp groups.”
…den SC Freiburg:
“They have the greatest respect for their performance.
You deserve to stand before us.
It's an extremely well-trained team that does a lot of things very well that Christian (Streich, ed.) demands.”
…Bayern's orientation:
“We want to show that we want to be first.
To do that, we have to put in a top performance.”
…Serge Gnabry's place in the starting XI:
“Made a good impression.
Tried to put the best staff on the pitch and Serge trained very well this week.”
…substitute striker Choupo-Moting:
“Choupo-Moting is the one-to-one replacement for Thomas (Müller, ed.) and has been close to the top eleven in recent weeks and is being rewarded today with the starting eleven.
I hope he hits the target just as well as he did in training.”
… Freiburg's strengths:
“The two outside pairs on the left and right of Freiburg are very dangerous in one-two passes.
We have to be awake then.”

Christian Streich (coach SC Freiburg) before the game at DAZN about…
…the orientation of his team:
“We will try to play actively and not wait and then we hope that Bayern will not find the space behind our chain and that we will have one or the other pressing success.
Then we might have a chance.”
…the question of whether he was surprised by FC Bayern's line-up:
“No.
Thomas Müller just can't play because he's injured.”
…Gregoritsch's advantage over Petersen:
“We always look from game to game.
We look at the physical condition of the boys and then we decide.”
…a possible recipe for success against Bayern:
"We have to see that we bring some speed into the game.
We have to make sure that we play around the middle and get behind the chain.”
…his friendship with Julian Nagelsmann:
“I'm happy when I hear Julian.
We spoke on the phone a couple of times, but otherwise we don't see each other."

It was a very constructive, harmonious event.
We have had many contributions, mostly positive.
The members have recognized what we have been doing over the past 12 months, that we have intensified communication with the fans in particular.”
...the 15 percent less approval than during his first term:
"The first time we had communist conditions with 97.9 percent.
Of course, we have a certain group of members who are critical of the Qatar issue.
But overall: With 83% approval, any politician would consider themselves lucky.”
...the future of Qatar sponsorship:
"Of course we will include the discussions with the fans in the decision, but we also have to keep the interests of the club in mind."

"In addition to economic matters, projects and campaigns that can benefit both sides are also discussed."
...the attitude of the players to Qatar sponsorship:

We have so many good strikers on the field who are also incredibly qualified and they will all score enough goals for us to become German champions again."
