For coach Julian Nagelsmann from FC Bayern Munich, the international break may come at the right time before the league summit against the new leaders Borussia Dortmund on April 1st. "If the players come back like they did after the World Cup, it's not so good for either team," said Nagelsmann after Bayern Munich's 2-1 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen: "But if they win the games and play great games, then that's it In our case, after a defeat, it can also be an advantage if they see something different."

Basically, a coach "of course likes to have his players together". The appointment is "not perfect, but in general both teams feel the same way". The first players have already left for their national teams, many will only return to Munich and Dortmund on Wednesday or Thursday next week. The Bundesliga hit rises on Saturday afterwards.
