FC Bayern was a guest at the Theater of Dreams. There is enough to talk about the game at Manchester United. The voices for the game.

Munich/Manchester – FC Bayern is on a reparations tour these days. The sting after the 1:5 debacle at Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend was deep.

Now a reaction was expected from the Bayern stars at their last Champions League appearance this year at Manchester United. Those responsible and the coach agreed unanimously.

FC Bayern visits ManUnited: Tuchel and friend hope “for a reaction”

“I have great confidence that there will now be a reaction,” said Thomas Tuchel at the press conference at Old Trafford on Monday evening. Christoph Freund expressed it similarly: “It is important to show a reaction,” said the Bayern sports director shortly before departure to the island.

In the end, Bayern celebrated a deserved 1-0 win against United. A game that can be recorded under the category of work victory.

We summarize the opinions on the game between ManUnited and FC Bayern on Amazon Prime Video.

Harry Kane (FC Bayern striker) after the game about…

… the game: “We had more passion, more energy, more pressure. It’s nice to win 1-0 here and finish first in the group.”

… his first game in England not in the Tottenham jersey: “Of course, it was a bit of a strange feeling. But United is a big team, but we are happy to have played the group stage so successfully – and to have helped FC Bayern win here today.

… his “mini-crisis” with three games without a goal: “That’s part of being a striker. Sometimes the ball falls at your feet and then you hit the post. You just have to stay patient and do what you have to do as a striker. Especially in this team you get enough chances.”

Manuel Neuer (captain FC Bayern) after the game about…

… the future of Thomas Müller: “He is a clear role model. And important for games like against Frankfurt, we must not lose the basics. Players like me and Thomas are responsible for communicating this. We have to learn from the mistakes. Thomas doesn’t mind if he doesn’t play. We like him best on the pitch anyway.”

… the Eintracht game: “We were very angry with our performance. We showed the reaction today. The trainer was very happy. He said he was proud on the sidelines. We gave everything and that’s why we won today.”

… the goals for the season after reaching the round of 16: “We can achieve anything, it’s up to us. We have to give our all in every competition and not let up one bit. We always determine the number of strokes. If it’s like today, that’s great. With the conditions we have, we can be a team that will definitely compete for the title.”

… the comparison of the 2023 team: “It’s always difficult to say at the beginning, we didn’t know that at the 2014 World Cup either. It depends on so many facets. But the conditions are right.”

… his 700th professional game: “I didn’t know that. I’m already fit. I didn’t expect it to work so well, even with the rhythm that I don’t have to take a break. We are very satisfied, I am very grateful to the doctors.”

… the relationship with ter Stegen and who will be in goal during the European Championships: “We are in regular contact. We are teammates and we all want to play a good European Championship. No matter how it ends, we will have a good goalkeeper between the posts.”

Christoph Freund (Sporting Director FC Bayern) before the game about…

… his expectations at Old Trafford: “I’m hoping for a really good game. We came here to take three points.”

.… the weekend debacle: “Do we have to talk about it? (laughs) We asked ourselves that too afterwards. We actually felt a good energy. For the first 15 minutes it was nothing.”

… the team: “They were disappointed themselves too. We had a similar situation a few weeks ago. After the Saarbrücken game we played against BVB.

… the players who fight back against defeat: “We have some guys on the team who react in a game like this. Today it’s also about the team, but I’m sure we’ll see a different FC Bayern today.”

…Joshua Kimmich, who has recently been criticized a lot: “He can absolutely do it. I don’t want to pin it on one player.”

Spectacular winter transfer at FC Bayern? Friend does not deny a name

…. Transfers im Winter: “There is a lot of speculation. I don’t say anything about any name. But we know that we’re not strong at the back. But the Asian Cup and the Africa Cup are coming. The winter transfer phase is difficult.

… the desired transfer who can play right and center back: “It wouldn’t be bad, yeah. That would be the plan and a good approach.”

… Ronald Araujo, who can play both: “Yes, then bonong. (laughs) Winter isn’t easy anyway. But we’ll see what happens. We have needs.”

… the future of Thomas Müller: “We are in talks and have a good exchange. It’s a special situation. Thomas behaves extremely professionally in the dressing room. There has been no one who has stood for FC Bayern like that in recent years. That’s why we know what we have in him.”

Thomas Tuchel (coach FC Bayern) before the game about…

… the debacle in Frankfurt: “We analyzed it very quickly, there was a meeting on Sunday morning. We had 21 critical turnovers, an absurdly high number. Our behavior after losing the ball was not at our level. We could have defended every single one of the first four goals. We were punished very severely. There is no time to look back.

… the expectation today: “An answer. We have to show personality. That’s why we only made one change.

… Manchester United: “We have to show that we are a team. We need a reaction. United are playing for survival in the group stage. It is one of the hardest stages to win. We need our highest level.”

Harry Kane’s return to the island: “He takes all responsibility and you can rely on him. Nobody needs to worry about him.”
