Update from October 23, 11:11 a.m .:
Bayern head coach Julian Nagelsmann cannot really understand the expressions of dissatisfaction with Hoffenheim fans against him.
"It's not so nice that a few fans are still whistling.
To be honest, I don't understand it either, but everyone has to know that for themselves," said the 35-year-old on Saturday evening after Bayern Munich's 2-0 win in Sinsheim.
Nagelsmann coached TSG between 2016 and 2019 and then moved to RB Leipzig and two years later to the German record champions.
The coach continues to have fond memories of the Kraichgau club.
"I spent nine very nice years here and took my first steps in professional football as a coach.
I had a lot of great employees here who placed a lot of trust in me.
We had an extremely successful time," said Nagelsmann before kick-off on Sky.
It is therefore “not a completely normal game” for him.
In focus: Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Update from October 21, 3:29 p.m

The 25-year-old's contract with RB Leipzig expires next year.

But English clubs in particular are also said to be courting Laimer.
In addition to Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC should now also be interested in the midfield strategist, as reported by

One trail leads to Liverpool's Naby Keita.
Both are represented by the Grünwalder agency "ROOF".
Like Laimer, Keita comes from the offspring of RB Salzburg and moved to Anfield Road in 2018.
Laimer could follow the same path five years later.
But Falk is certain: FC Bayern "leads the race".
Does that also apply to Atletico's Joao Felix?
FCB should also be interested in him.
Update from October 20, 1:30 p.m
.: Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is the new favorite at FC Bayern.
As if out of nowhere, the center forward is suddenly in a shooting mood.
The former back-up by striker Robert Lewandowski is currently even making the Pole forget.
After his gala against Freiburg, Choupo-Moting, the “sole player” (Serge Gnabry) and “dancer” (Julian Nagelsmann), immediately followed suit in the DFB Cup.
Lewandowski-Double Choupo-Moting shot Bayern into the round of 16 with a brace and an assist in a 5-2 win in Augsburg.
The Cameroonian not only delivered a letter of application for further starting XI appearances under coach Nagelsmann, but also for a contract extension.
Because the contract between Choupo-Moting and FC Bayern expires next summer.
Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic should have looked very closely.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting: Bayern Munich contract expires – Salihamidzic reacts
“We'll let the choupo play a bit now.
He does it very well," said Salihamidzic when asked by
tz
after the 5: 2 in the DFB Cup at FC Augsburg in the mixed zone.
When asked about the expiring contract, the sports director was relaxed.
“We know what we have in him.
He also knows what he has in us.
He does it very well.” Choupo-Moting still has a contract in Munich until the summer of 2023.
The 33-year-old moved from Paris Saint-Germain to FC Bayern in autumn 2020 and signed a one-year contract.
After decent performances as Lewandowski backup, the native of Hamburg rewarded himself in spring 2021 with a contract extension until 2023. If Choupo-Moting performs as in the last two games, further cooperation should only be a matter of form.
FC Bayern: No starting eleven guarantee for Choupo-Moting – Nagelsmann announces bank space
Nevertheless, Nagelsmann did not want to give a starting eleven guarantee for the next games.
In Bayern's Bundesliga game at TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday (3:30 p.m.), Choupo-Moting is threatened with losing his traditional bench position again.
"We have to look.
He's not in the rhythm after all this time and can't play 70 or 80 minutes every three days," explained Nagelsmann.
In the current form, the Bayern coach can not really do without Choupo-Moting, against Augsburg there was a 1 with an asterisk.
FC Bayern: Will a free transfer striker become Lewandowski's successor?
First report from October 19:
Munich – FC Bayern Munich is still grappling with the departure of Robert Lewandowski, who moved to FC Barcelona in the summer.
The loss of the top scorer was felt in the past few weeks in the game of the German record champions, who lacked a real center forward on the pitch.
The experiment with Sadio Mané went wrong, the Senegalese now comes through the wings, on which he can show off his qualities much better.
In the Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg, coach Julian Nagelsmann relied on Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting, his only center forward in the squad, and FC Bayern Munich promptly played themselves into a frenzy.
Against SC Freiburg, who are having a strong season, the German record champions gave their all and deservedly won 5-0 at altitude.
Choupo-Moting showed an outstanding performance and should be used more regularly than last until the winter break.
FC Bayern Munich is looking for a successor for Robert Lewandowski
At 33, the former PSG attacker is not the solution for the future.
He will reach his limits against defensively strong teams in the Champions League.
For this reason, FC Bayern Munich is still looking for a successor to Robert Lewandowski.
It is not impossible that a new center forward will come in winter, but it is rather unlikely.
Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic is concentrating on the summer of 2023, in which a cheap solution could arise.
According to current media reports, Marcus Thuram, attacker from Borussia Mönchengladbach, tends not to extend his expiring contract on the Lower Rhine.
The 25-year-old would then be available on a free transfer next summer.
According to information from the pay-TV broadcaster
Sky
, FC Bayern Munich is also dealing with the Frenchman, who could succeed Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski successor in sight: Marcus Thuram as an option?
Florian Plettenberg, reporter at
Sky
, reports that Thuram is an extremely interesting player for FC Bayern Munich because of his profile.
Hasan Salihamidzic is keeping a close eye on the situation at Borussia Mönchengladbach, especially since the 25-year-old would not cost a fee and has already shown that he can score goals in the Bundesliga.
A transfer to Säbener Straße is not imminent, but that could change in the coming weeks or months.
The reason for Bayern Munich's hesitation is the fact that Marcus Thuram is not the ideal solution.
According to consistent reports from
Sky
and
Bild
, Harry Kane is still considered Plan A. But if it doesn't work to get the English international out of Tottenham, Thuram would become a hot stock on Säbener Straße.
