Julian Brandt: “We gave it everything we had until the end. Losing an important player so early was an extremely bitter pill to swallow. I know the confidence that Mats has. That’s totally fine. Mats has saved us in so many games recently. It’s open to discussion: do you let the Leipzig player go one-on-one against Greg, who’s a fantastic goalkeeper? We had found the spaces well up until then, but then we fell completely out of step. But we proved to the fans that we were willing to give it our all until the very last second against a good footballing side. When we play at home, we want to go for it up front. We have to win games, we don’t want to play like we did in Stuttgart or Leverkusen. That’s not the kind of team we want to be.”

“Bremen have a very attacking formation with two strikers. They have a dynamic team. The Weserstadion is always special during evening games. We have to be ready for that. We have to play our game and be very careful when defending against counterattacks,” Tuchel said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

The U20 team of 1. FC Köln were relegated to the Regionalliga West last season after a single year in the 2. Bundesliga, having amassed just 18 points from 26 games. This was followed by a number of changes to the squad. Numerous key players left the club to continue playing in the second tier or were promoted to the club’s Bundesliga squad. The team was re-strengthened primarily with players from the club’s own U17’s. As a result, the average age of the team fell massively, meaning that there are now only four players in the squad who are older than 20.  

Edin Terzic (to Sky): “We were the better team up until the red card. We were also the better team in the second period, even though we played for a long time during the week and despite the red card and the many absences that we have. It is a really tough test right now. But you could see that the team was very energetic, believed until the end and tried to fight against all the odds. We did a lot of good things. If that is the benchmark, I’m sure we’ll pick up successful results again soon. We not only showed today how good and clear we can be in possession, but also how much we can invest to fight against all the odds. That will be required of us again.”

Nübel is still a player that Salihamidžić and Neppe like and trust that he will become a top goalkeeper. But for that he has to take the next step. He will not move to Monaco permanently, he wants to go to a club with higher ambitions. Nübel is not written off at Bayern.
