It's back to FC Bayern.
Now it's off to Kraichgau for the top game against TSG Hoffenheim.
What is there to tell?
The voices of the game.
Sinsheim/Munich - "The trend is your friend", this sentence was once coined by Uli Hoeneß.
The form curve at FC Bayern is currently pointing upwards again.
They're in the next round in the Champions League and the DFB Cup, but now they're only missing first place in the Bundesliga.
But that will definitely not happen this weekend because Union Berlin is still four points ahead.
Nevertheless, they want to put pressure on the surprise leaders from the capital with a win at TSG Hoffenheim and build on the strong performances in the league and in the cup in Sinsheim.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has played a major part in getting things going again in Munich.

At the guest performance in Kraichgau, Choupo-Moting will also be a topic of conversation again, that's for sure.
This also applies to the bank of superstar Sadio Mané.
We summarize the voices on Sky and Mixed Tone for you.

Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern coach) before the game about ...
... his return to Hoffenheim:
"It's emotional, I had nine very nice years here.
I experienced a lot of things here for the first time, it's not a normal game for me."
... the reasons for Choupo-Moting's performance explosion:
"He wasn't satisfied with his role, he wanted to change that.
He trained really well, had a lot of talks with me, so I got confidence again today.”
... the many different goal scorers in the team:
"It's difficult to plan, we have to have several goal scorers because we don't have Lewandowski anymore.
It wasn't my share.
The only thing I did was discuss the boxing, the rest was the performance of the players.”

… the opponent:
“They are playing a good season, they are playing bravely.
Extremely few wide balls.
I assume that many goals will be scored.”
... Mané's bench:
"It's more of a decision for King today.
Sadio has played a lot lately, he's had an emotional journey to Paris for the Ballon d'Or.
King was suspended, he's rested.
Serge and Jamal are in good spirits, I didn't want to take them out.
But we have to rotate because we have a balanced squad.”

… his expectations:
“We played really good football recently.
We exude euphoria, it will be exciting to see.
A different caliber awaits today.”
... the match plan:
"We remain true to our principles.
TSG is characterized by the fact that they want to play football, we're staying true to that style today."
