FC Bayern Munich: The press conference with Thomas Tuchel and Joshua Kimmich before the Champions League game against Real Madrid in the live ticker
Tuchel on Vini and Rodrygo: “They are both good, but different. Rodrygo often scores decisive goals, including against us at Chelsea – that’s why I don’t like him. Vini’s favorite position is on the left side. He is very good at finishing. Rodrygo plays up The 9, half 10, a bit on the wing. He is very good in narrow spaces.
Tuchel on Ancelotti: “With drawers there is always a great danger that you put someone in them and then they don’t open them anymore. I don’t think Carlo says to his players: Find your position! The tactics are very flexible, it’s very sophisticated and of course the handwriting of Carlo Ancelotti.”
Tuchel on Hoeneß: “Real Madrid. There is only Real Madrid left.”
Tuchel on a Gnabry goal: “It will happen. I don’t know how I know, but it will happen.”
Tuchel on Real and changes in their tactics: “The most obvious change is Benzema’s personnel. He was the absolute fixture at the time as number 9. They compensated for that with a change in system. Jude Bellingham now plays in a 10/9/6 role Personal union. Many behaviors are the same, but Modric and Kroos are still there, but the playing structure has changed.”
Tuchel about the game: “It’s a very impressive game. Is it the greatest? That’s the Bayern fan speaking. This thesis won’t find many supporters in Liverpool or Manchester.”
Tuchel on Real’s offensive: “We need tactics and luck. We need a good mix, a good balance. Players want to see a plan and an idea. But they also need freedom. But you also need luck in the game. If you want to beat Real, you need the whole package.”
Tuchel on Bellingham: “Jude is a great player who has developed fantastically. Everyone who plays for Real plays with the pressure of the jersey. He takes it as if he had never done anything else. He is an absolute key player.”
Tuchel on his image as a tactical fox and Ancelotti’s as a man-manager: “I think that’s deceptive. Carlo exudes such fatherliness, that’s one of his great strengths. It’s important that everyone goes their own way and sticks to themselves. We need a good mix between discipline and freedom.”
Tuchel on Ancelotti: “Carlo is a legend. What he has done for football as a player and coach is of the highest level. Nevertheless, he is always so nice and humble at the meetings. Super nice, super polite, extraordinary. Our approach against Real “It will be a very substantive one. We’ll have a tactics session today and tomorrow. Then everyone’s looking forward to a great game.”
Tuchel about a discussion with Hoeneß: “I won’t say anything more about that. The topic is ticked off.”
Tuchel about the staff: “I don’t need to deceive you. As of right now I don’t know. When I drive back in the car, the final checks will be done on Konny, Matha and Upa. Things look best with Konny. Konny wants it Try it in training today, it’s probably too early with Matha and Upa. Then there will be last-minute decisions with Leroy and Jamal, probably this evening.”
Kimmich is ready, now comes Tuchel
Kimmich on Real’s attack: “Real is always changing positions. Especially up front with Rodrygo, Vini or Bellingham. You don’t always just defend one face. It’s important for me that I keep my position at the right back and don’t run after someone.”
Kimmich about his situation: “I’m going into the game in good shape. The focus is on the game tomorrow. Our season hasn’t really been successful so far. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. It’s a really great feeling, a semi-final against Real to play.”
Kimmich about Real: “You certainly don’t see a normal game in a CL semi-final – regardless of whether it’s against Real or another team. But against Real it’s even more special.”
Kimmich about the game: “We haven’t had that much time to prepare, yesterday we had to regenerate. Real also have their strengths in switching. In the end it’s all about the mix. We shouldn’t hide and be brave enough, always “It’s important to have periods of possession again and to take risks. It’s important to have a balance between attacking football and defending.”
Kimmich on Tuchel: “I played different positions under Tuchel. That helps you as a player to develop, to become better. We had some games in which we didn’t dominate, but played fast, attacking football. I like to play possession football . He adapted to the team to a certain extent. Every player was able to take something with them.”
Kimmich about Kroos: “He gives every team a certain level of security, control and dominance. He has already achieved and experienced a lot. You can always learn something from him.”
