📣 Nagelsmann on COVID update, Gladbach threat and Coman future | OneFootball

Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann has been speaking to the press ahead of their DFB Pokal clash with Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday.

Here are some of the best quotes.

On his COVID update

“I’m doing well so far. Everything’s fine. Unfortunately, I’ll not be on the bench in Gladbach. I’m still in quarantine at home. I’ll take another test on Thursday. I had a test yesterday, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough for me to go to Gladbach.”

On working from home

“I’m someone who doesn’t like to sit that much. I’d rather be closer. But thanks to modern technology, a lot of things are made possible. I am happy that things have been going so well so far.

“I don’t feel bored. We’ve a lot of games and I’ll prepare them. I do the same things that I usually do in the office. The only difference is the daily training on the pitch and personal conversations. I’ve been on the phone a lot lately.”

On injury updates

“Everyone is fit. Phonzie and Leon are back with the team. Lucas had a slight calf problem but is doing well now. We have a full squad.”

On Gladbach threat

“It’s a bit bizarre because they’re not getting the results they want. They have a lot of physical strength and pace, especially in attack. They have a good plan to counter the opponent’s pressing. It’s going to be a difficult task away and with fans.”

On Coman exit rumours

“King is an outstanding guy with an incredible personality who is fortunately healthy again. He’s one of the best wingers in the world. I would love to work with him for many, many years to come because I value him incredibly both as a person and as a player.”

On Hoeness praise

“I’m happy that he can watch nice games in the stands. I believe that football is an entertainment sport. Bayern have been doing very well for years and we are currently doing well. Goals are the icing on the cake for football.”
