Of course we see Leipzig as a competitor along with Dortmund and Leverkusen. The league has also proven that there can be different teams that can top it off. We just need to look after ourselves. Our goals are very clear, we want to be champions, we want to win the cup and go very far in the Champions League. This is a good test. There is a certain tension in addition to the previous friendlies that went very well. We hope that we can bring the energy and quality we have in training to the field tomorrow and that the fans will feel a new spirit emerging.

I am very happy with our preparations. There has been a good spirit and high quality in training for several weeks. Quality also has a positive effect on energy. I am very pleased with the will and hard work. Tomorrow will be the first match of a fight that will not end for a long time.

We are very ambitious, and I’m feeling both confident and excited about what’s to come after seeing the team’s performances up until now. We are starting this season full of energy and are looking forward to seeing how our game improves throughout it.

We are aiming to win the Supercup, meaning that our starting line-up will be comprised of those who have proven themselves over pre-season. It’s also vital to me that we have a strong group of boys on the bench. There’s tough competition for the starting line-up, especially in the midfield unit, so we’ll see who makes the cut.

Pre-season is tough, both physically and mentally. The lads are therefore looking forward to the first competitive game of the season. I’m not entirely sure yet what level we’re at. What I do know, is that we have a strong, young and hungry group of players.

We have signed several good, young players and also have a solid core of experienced ones. We have been able to make good progress during pre-season.

I think that last season, especially the run-in, will have had an impact on a club like FC Bayern. They were lacking confidence for a while. That can’t have felt good, and they will want to change that.

I think we will come up against a side that will enjoy having the ball and that’s more compact and intense than they were during that phase where they were struggling for confidence.
