Update from January 20th, 11:55 a.m.:
The press conference with Thomas Tuchel has ended.
Before the home game against Bremen (Sunday, 3:30 p.m.), the FC Bayern coach spoke about the opponent and the staff.
Matthijs de Ligt is fit in time.
Tuchel also spoke about the Beckenbauer memorial service on Friday afternoon.
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel on...
...Leroy Sané, who is used more on the left side:
“We also started with Kingsley Coman on the right because he almost filled up a five-man chain, it suits him more than being right-footed.
But both are possible.
We made the switch pretty early and it was successful.
Leroy played his most successful season on the left at Manchester City and can develop more goals there.
We really like it at the moment, we have both options and can change it at any time.”
...Bremen and the duel between Leipzig and Leverkusen:
“I'm watching the game because of course I'm interested.
We'll play against them soon too.
It's interesting to get an impression live.
We expect Bremen to have a five-man defense and will prepare for it.
This is a classic encounter that had the greatest appeal for me as a youngster; it was spectacular, with lots of goals and a special energy.
That remains the case, even if Bremen is no longer fighting for the title.
They have a special way of playing football, they are always attacking, it's in their DNA.
But the focus is very much on us.”
...Right-back Kieran Trippier, who has been linked to FC Bayern, and possible transfers:
“We are always looking for the whole package.
Young, good-looking and successful (laughs).
It's tricky.
Other clubs have the same goals, which is why the winter transfer window is more complicated.
I won't comment on names because we also want other clubs not to talk about our players.
We're used to Konni (Laimer) doing well, but he's a trained midfielder.
If nothing happens, we will try to achieve our goals with the current squad.
If we have the opportunity, we are open to doing it.
But the package has to be good.
It has to be the right character.”
Beckenbauer funeral service: Tuchel talks about the Kaiser's farewell
...the mourners for Franz Beckenbauer:
“Franz is in the league of Pelé and Diego Maradona, it couldn’t be bigger.
The neologisms Kaiser and Lichtgestalt reflect the scale.
That's why it was a nice and respectful setting.
The speakers and the supporting program were impressive.
A sad occasion but still a beautiful setting and a very dignified and respectful farewell.”
...the positioning of many Bundesliga clubs on a political level and against the right:
“I don’t know how I feel about that.
I'm always afraid when a lot of people comment who aren't 100% on the topic.
We stand up against the issue of right-wing extremism, there is no doubt about it and there can be no voice too many.”
...the training camp:
“We had very good conditions and a lot more time together.
The atmosphere was very good and the quality of training was very high.
We were able to do video sessions.
It wasn't a typical training camp a season ago.
It was a chance to train under the sun and stay together.
Then you don't break up, they cycle to the hotel and eat together, spend time together and then go to the second training session or go out to eat together in the evening.
We have to enjoy being together, understand and smell each other in order to be successful.
We have to get it on the pitch now.”

...a possible debut for Eric Dier and further absences:
“Eric is back in training.
He had a happy reason for being absent, with the birth of his first child.
He's definitely in the squad, but if nothing happens Upa and Matta (de Ligt) will start.
If everything goes well, we can give it a few minutes.
But it’s about three points and we’ll focus everything on that.”

...the staff and Matthijs de Ligt:
