Meeting Highlights…BAYERN
All good things come in three points, but I don't care about the past. What happened before is not that important, we are on a really good path. Bayern are strong. They know exactly what they need to win games. For us, every single player, but also the whole team, has to put in a top performance in order to get points.
…MATCH PLAN
If we only think about defending, Bayern will score the goal. That won't work, I have the feeling it will come. And if it comes on Saturday, then at least we'll have a point.
…INJURIES
Niklas Dorsch is available. And even if Dorsch can't make the starting line-up we have alternatives. Elvis Rexhbecaj would be a possibility, and Kristijan Jakić, on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt a few days ago, is also an option.

Vincent Kompany
Manager on Bayern Munich…TRANSFER MARKET
We are focused on the things that make sense from our point of view. We don't let ourselves get carried away, not even by injuries. We trust in our strength and in the players who are there. Hopefully Min-Jae Kim and Noussair Mazraoui come uninjured back from the tournaments. The transfer windows are becoming more and more complicated. I have full confidence in what we are doing. We will not allow ourselves to be pushed into crazy things. The team is clear for tomorrow and we can rely on you as a coach. We'll push the team through the game tomorrow. I'm sure we have everything we need to get an important away win tomorrow.
…POSSIBLE LINE-UP
We're also running out of midfielders. Josh won't play, Konny won't play. That's why we probably can't withdraw Leon Goretzka. In all likelihood, Leon and Aleksandar Pavlović will play in midfield and Matthijs de Ligt and Eric Dier in central defense.
…ERIC DIER
He has integrated well, he is experienced. Of course there are no training sessions and minutes of games with the team. Now we have had a crash course, which is sometimes the best thing. He is very attentive, very clear in everything he does. I have Great confidence, he will play a good game again tomorrow.
