Against Cologne in the 17th round.

About the draw with Leipzig in the last round
“We didn’t play well in attack against Leipzig. We did a good job in the game, but we didn’t do it too well. The positioning of the players – especially in the final third – was not so good at times. Two
After a few months, it was expected that we would have such a performance. But we talked about it after the game and resolved it. In general, we still need to adjust our state, slowly get back the feeling of the game, and strive for
Get back to the status of the number as soon as possible.”
About the current state of Cologne
“Seven goals against Werder Bremen in the last round of the Bundesliga gave them a lot of confidence. They are now playing with a high intensity on the ball and are very good at dealing with the opponent’s high pressure. They played bravely and are in very good form.
, so we have to be aggressive in tomorrow’s game. Respond to their challenge and be ourselves.”
The match against Cologne
“We all need to find different solutions when playing against teams with three or four at the back. Cologne have their own tactics, Werder Bremen play with a three at the back, but we won’t do that tomorrow.
, so there is a difference. Cologne can do well with and without the ball.”
“I think against Leipzig, our attacking organization was not perfect, we had good chances in the final third but lost the ball very quickly. We often made wrong decisions on the pitch, we could have done that.
We played better and I believe tomorrow we will play more aggressively.”
Injuries in the team
“Upamecano has a bit of a problem with his toes, so he stopped our training yesterday, but I don’t think it will be a risk for tomorrow’s game, the other players are in good shape and they can all play.

Müller out of starting XI against RB Leipzig after returning from injury
“I think the topic is overblown in the public and in front of the outside world, it’s not a big situation. When you come back to the team after being injured for so long, you always have to fight for your position. Like I said,
No one can be in the starting XI at will, so I haven’t decided whether he will start tomorrow or not.”
What do you think of the performance of the new goalkeeper Sommer?
“I reviewed some scenes with him in the last game, as a goalkeeper you have to make the right decisions in a short period of time. He did a good job and he has good feet. When you play bravely
Sometimes, you can make mistakes, and it involves weighing the risks.”
Nubel said that he has no contact with Bayern goalkeeper coach Tapalovic. Is it true that Tapalovic’s good relationship with Neuer seems to have affected Nubel’s willingness to return?
“It’s always important to have a good relationship with all the managers in the team. I don’t see a problem with Tapalovic and Neuer being on good terms, nor do I see it as a negative.”
What do players do in their free time?
“We have no restrictions on this. Players should be allowed to do whatever they want in their free time, it’s their freedom and their ideas, we won’t interfere with them. As the team’s coach and top management, you can’t just because of the staff
Blame him for their behavior in their free time. But their behavior in their off time must always be consistent with his work. This is our requirement and the most important thing.”
