Uli Hoeneß says there will be no major 'transfer offensive' in January: "If we feel that we need additions by then, we will do so. We can't always just live in the here and now, but we have to make sure this club is healthy for the next ten years. We're proud that we've been living from a fixed deposit account for 30 years. And that's how things should stay" [@RTL_com] Uli Hoeneß on Boateng: "I heard that Jérôme showed excellent fitness during the training sessions. But his past, with the cases that he's gone through, ultimately led the club to decide against the move. He would only have been signed for 8 Bundesliga games, and that’s completely nonsense from an economic point of view. I'm hearing that our management may want to bring in another defender during the winter break - either in central defense or right-back" [@RTL_com] Uli Hoeneß criticizes Thomas Tuchel for his public transfer demands: "Those statements are a feast for the media, especially for the tabloids. Some, including the coach, made unwise statements - because I shouldn't make my own team look bad by saying our squad is too thin. When you see what kind of players we have on the bench every weekend, then we don't have a thin squad" [@RTL_com] Uli Hoeneß: "FC Bayern will also have to make sure in the future that they don't just buy expensive players, but also give young players a chance. Frans Krätzig, whom I'm certain will become a regular starter for FC Bayern at some point, would probably never have had a career at Bayern if we didn't have these personnel problems. If you only ever buy expensive players, then the young guys won't get a chance" [@RTL_com] Hoeneß on the expectations from Tuchel: "If we become German champions, that would be great. And if we win the DFB Pokal, that would be great too. But if we make it to the Champions League semi-finals, that would be the highest of feelings. When you come close to winning the Champions League every few years, you have to praise the coach and the people in charge" [@RTL_com] Uli Hoeneß on Julian Nagelsmann as Germany coach: "We at FC Bayern agree that he's exactly the right person for this situation. He's fresh and young. He took a long vacation after leaving FC Bayern and has now recovered. And he has a lot of enthusiasm. I'm convinced that he gained a lot of strength. And now the national team needs optimism, it needs high spirits. I think Julian is exactly the right person for that" [@RTL_com] Uli Hoeneß on his nephew Sebastian Hoeneß at Stuttgart: "Through his work and his commitment, he ensured that VfB were not relegated, that they played quite well in the Pokal and therefore gained financial resources to prepare for the new season. Then he lost his three best players. He never complained and made the best of it. And the way they play football now makes your heart smile. I have to honestly admit that I'm really enjoying watching VfB's games at the moment. If they are really better than us, then they should be ahead of us. It will be the job of FC Bayern and its coach to prevent that" [@RTL_com]

Tuchel on: - Boateng - personnel - Boateng again - Nagelsmann - strains of CL midweek - Coman's form - Sundays match - Thomas Müller - Ulle and Neuer return - NTs US trip Thomas Tuchel denies that Bayern have already decided against signing Jérôme Boateng: "He trained well. We will clarify this with everyone involved today and then announce it. No decision has been made, contrary to reports. We are going to clarify it internally this afternoon with everyone involved" Tuchel on the personnel: "Unfortunately, things aren’t going as quickly as we had hoped for Matthijs de Ligt. It's still very painful. Dayot Upamecano and Minjae Kim are currently fit" Tuchel on whether the club is rethinking their decision on Boateng due to backlash from fans: "We as a football club and I, as the person responsible for the sporting side of things, would like football decisions to be just football decisions without prejudice and other things. That will not change, we will make a decision this afternoon" Tuchel on Nagelsmann's start of coaching career under him in Augsburg: "He was actually supposed to be a reserves player back then but unfortunately got injured and didn't come back from it. Because the coaching teams at Augsburg weren't very big, we invited Julian to analyse the opposition. The reports were very good and detailed and showed that he did it with passion. At the end of the season, he decided to join 1860 Munich as a youth coach and went his way" Tuchel on the strains of Champions League weeks: "It was a long journey, we can still feel it. We've had a lot of away games lately. Everyone was in training today apart from Matthijs and Serge Gnabry. Raphaël Guerreiro was also involved again. It was fun working with a big group. It was important today to have a good training session in top conditions, to get into the rhythm" Tuchel on Coman's form: "He trains well, has the right attitude and approach. He's a bit behind in terms of numbers, he knows that for sure and it's annoying him a bit. But we've known Kingsley's value for many years. He's extremely hard-working, difficult to defend, likes to track back and defend too. For me it's a matter of time before he gets his goals and assists" Tuchel on Sunday's game: "We're aware of the difficulty of the task. Freiburg switch their formation very frequently, so I don't even know if you can prepare for all eventualities. It may be that the requirements change more frequently. I'm sure Freiburg will do everything to make life as difficult as possible for us. We need to be prepared for that. We're determined to win but we know it will be tough." Tuchel on Thomas Müller: "We saw his positive energy in Copenhagen. He is definitely a candidate to start against Freiburg. He missed all pre-season and is currently doing additional work to catch up. At this stage of his career, it's normal that he doesn't start 50 games. We are so happy that Thomas is here" Tuchel on Ulreich and Manuel Neuer's return: "I'm pleased that Ulle is holding up so well, that Manuel Neuer is feeling so good and that the goalkeeping team, with Daniel Peretz too, are such a unit and are pushing each other. Ulle also has the full support of Manu. That's the situation as it is right now. I can't give a prediction." Tuchel on the national team's trip to the US: "I'm not sure it makes sense to me why Germany are playing Mexico in the USA before a European Championship. We've had a lot of away trips recently. The boys will come back from the national team on Thursday, get on a plane to Mainz on Friday, get on a plane to Istanbul on Monday, then we have a home match and then two more away games in Saarbrücken and Dortmund. It's at the limit of endurance. The fixture schedule is what it is - we'll try to make the best of it."

Kimmich about: - the Leipzig Match - Boateng - Copenhagen - the squad - corner goals - Sané - the pitch Joshua Kimmich: "We weren't in the game against Leipzig in the first half, we invited the opponent with too many simple mistakes. That can't happen tomorrow. We have to go about our business with concentration over 90 minutes, then I believe we'll win the game." #UCL Kimmich on Jérôme Boateng: "It's not our issue. We don't make the decision. Many of us have won lots of titles with him. I was pleased to see him again. At the end of the day, it's not our decision to make" Kimmich on Copenhagen and whether he knows some of their players: "We know Mohamed Elyounoussi from the Bundesliga. Our video analysis is this evening and tomorrow. We know Copenhagen are very good at home, didn't lose at home in the Champions League groups last season. So, we need to be well prepared." Kimmich on the squad: "A small squad has advantages and disadvantages. Every player realises they're needed. It's important we have everybody on board. We're reliant on every player staying fit. When everyone's fit, it's enough. If we have three injured centre-backs, like against Münster, then it's tight. But we also dealt with that well" Kimmich on the team scoring from corners lately: "I'm always pleased when we score goals and win. It's worked well in recent weeks. I hope it continues. We haven't changed much." Kimmich on Leroy Sané's form: "He has always put in the effort. He is physically very strong. It's impressive how consistently he's performing on the pitch. He has rewarded himself for working hard. He has also shown what he can do in the past. At the moment he's doing it every three days, which is great for us. Even in phases when things aren't going well, he still shows that he has exceptional qualities. He's enjoying his football, which spreads to the rest of the team. I hope this will continue for a long time" Kimmich on the pitch in Copenhagen: "I've heard the pitch isn't that good. We'll see in training shortly. It's always nice to play on a good pitch. But we should be capable of playing well on a pitch that isn't great." Tuchel about: - 2 different halfs against Leipzig - Boateng - final training in Copenhagen - Copenhagen - their Coach - bit general talk Thomas Tuchel on the contrasting performances in the first and second half against Leipzig: "We're not worried. We analyse it all and are drawing our conclusions, which we'll discuss with the teams. We're trying to develop a better plan and fill it with more life. We're still finding a way to get into games, which is the positive. We'll stick with the positive things." #UCL Tuchel on Jérôme Boateng and the controversy around him: "Innocent until proven guilty when a trial is deferred. As a football club we have the right to make football decisions. Jérôme is a player with great merit and has the right to train with us. You know his position, you know what the situation was with the cup game. Jérôme is in Munich anyway and has kept himself fit. He's training with us now, and we'll see what we decide" Tuchel again on Boateng: "I'm not aware of any unrest in the club or the team because of that. I understand the discussions among the fans, but the trial is deferred, so innocent until proven guilty applies here" Tuchel on why he decided to hold the final training in Copenhagen: "We have to look at the pitch. I'm pleased we decided to do this with training. We decide on a game-by-game basis. There wasn't much time. Training is being done with less intensity and tactics. For the Galatasaray game, the plan is we'll train in Munich due to the long flight. In case the pitch isn't as good as we'd like, then we have time tomorrow. If needed, we'll obviously adapt our style of play" Tuchel on FC Copenhagen: "I've watched their games. We'll prepare seriously. We first wanted to conclude the Leipzig game. We'll limit it to two meetings, keep the info to a minimum. I have the greatest respect for every opponent in the Champions League. It's the toughest club competition in the world. Copenhagen didn't lose a home game in the Champions League last season against Manchester City, Dortmund and Sevilla." Tuchel on Copenhagen coach Jacob Neestrup: "He's a very young and successful coach. Copenhagen are the club winning all the titles in Denmark. He's got a clear style. We're expecting Copenhagen in a 4-3-3 formation. They're very compact, very dangerous on the counter, and we're expecting a mix of long balls and passing play There's a lot of speed, with lots of mobile and quick players up front. In midfield they have physically strong players and a back four with centre-backs who like to play and a goalkeeper with a really long throw" Tuchel: "I've never seen an easy Champions League group stage. Every game has a special character. Tomorrow's game will definitely be different than the two games against Galatasaray. The focus is 100% on Copenhagen. That's why I don't have a deep analysis of Galatasaray yet, but I can imagine what awaits us there"
