In the night after the international defeat against Belgium, the national soccer players from FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund were looking forward to the upcoming duel between the two clubs in Munich. The top game between the series champions and the leaders BVB, who arrive on Saturday (6.30 p.m. / Sky), is even more explosive because the new Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel meets his ex-club on his comeback in the Bundesliga.
"Of course we're trying to make it as easy as possible for the new coach. We don't have much time. We have very important weeks ahead of us. We all know what the coach can do. I think the coach knows what he's like We have to create a good combination very quickly so that we can win the games," said Joshua Kimmich in an ARD interview after the 3-2 draw against Belgium in Cologne.
Teammate Serge Gnabry said about the top game: "We just have to win that. We're looking forward to Saturday." Overall, Kimmich sees "hot weeks" coming to Bayern. Midfielder Leon Goretzka, who was substituted against Belgium with an injury, believes the foot injury is not that bad. "I've twisted my ankle. It should be enough until Saturday." The Munich team traveled home from Cologne on Wednesday night.
On Tuesday evening in Cologne, Bayern and BVB internationals fought side by side. In the sold-out Allianz Arena, they will be bitter opponents again. Emre Can wants to at least defend the lead in the table with BVB, but if possible even expand to four points with a win. "It will be extremely difficult in Munich in the Allianz Arena. Nevertheless, we also have qualities. We believe in ourselves. We go there to win. It will be difficult, but we will definitely try," said Can on ARD -Interview after the international match.
