- Die press conference for reading.
The press conference is over.
12.45 p.m.: “I hope it hits us,” says Tuchel regarding the UEFA penalty once morest FC Bayern, but doesn’t mean it as an attack on the fans. The record champions will have to do without their fans at their next away game, but the Munich team must first advance once morest Lazio Rome.
12:44 p.m.: “It was already in the A-youth that we understood each other better before and following the game than during it,” said Tuchel regarding his “relationship status” with Freiburg coach Christian Streich.
Test on Thursday decides whether Sané will be deployed: offensive star injured
12.40 p.m.: “Leroy always wants to play. He is someone who can tolerate pain incredibly well. He has felt something in the last few weeks. Maybe he gritted his teeth a little too much. I feel that he is not completely free. He has a lot of aches and pains and is paying a bit of tribute for the overload. “It’s important to find the best solution for tomorrow,” says Tuchel regarding Sané’s health.
The test later in the day will decide whether the offensive star can be used once morest Freiburg. “There are enormous waves of movement in terms of pain for him, which is why it doesn’t make much sense to rest him for Rome tomorrow,” explains Tuchel.
Kim replaces suspended de Ligt: Upamecano on the bench
12:39 p.m.: Is FC Bayern a place for development? “Both Max Eberl and Thomas Müller are right, but I won’t make any comments on that,” explains Tuchel.
12.35 p.m.: “We have managed a small turnaround,” says Tuchel regarding the last game once morest Leipzig. In Freiburg the team wants to build on last weekend’s performance.
With Matthijs de Ligt suspended on Friday, Minjae Kim will slide into central defense alongside Eric Dier. “That makes more sense since Upa is suspended once morest Rome,” explains Tuchel.
Tuchel’s reaction to Eberl’s arrival speaks volumes: “Try not to be distracted”
12:32 p.m.: “It is the third time in the last ten months that we have rewritten the organizational chart. And the third time before an important Bundesliga game. We try not to let ourselves be distracted by it,” says Tuchel when Max Eberl was introduced on Tuesday. The sports director will sit in the stands. The coach doesn’t seem enthusiastic regarding the questions regarding the new sports director.
Tuchel also explains that Joshua Kimmich will once more play as a right-back once morest Freiburg.
12.30 p.m.: The press conference begins. Thomas Tuchel takes the podium with press spokesman Dieter Nickles. The first question is regarding personnel: What is the situation with Leroy Sané? The offensive star has not yet trained with the team, but will complete a test today that will determine whether he will be in the squad tomorrow, Tuchel explains.
Otherwise, Alphonso Davies will return tomorrow. A return is too early for Serge Gnabry.
Update from February 29th, 12:14 p.m.: In just under a quarter of an hour it starts in the Pressestüberl on Säbener Straße. What does the personnel situation look like before the game in Freiburg?
First report from February 29th: Munich – Will FC Bayern bring more excitement to the championship fight? With a win on Friday in Freiburg, Thomas Tuchel’s team might reduce the gap to leaders Leverkusen to five points, at least overnight. To do this, the Munich team first has to survive in Breisgau on sports director Max Eberl’s first day at work.
Eberl is not writing off the season yet
The stars have a responsibility and, according to the new Bayern boss, outgoing coach Thomas Tuchel should make “the impossible” possible in the seemingly hopeless hunt for league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
“I want to win titles,” said Eberl during his introduction. And yes, he still sees a chance for trophies even in this so far chaotic season. In the league, despite being eight points behind Bayer, and in the Champions League, despite losing the first leg in the round of 16 at Lazio. The Italians come to Munich on Tuesday.

Bayern CEO Dreesen appeals to players: “You must feel grabbed by the honor”
The reaction of the stars in the 2-1 win once morest Leipzig to the separation from Tuchel, which was announced before he took office, gave him “a good feeling,” said Eberl. “The boys on the pitch have their demands, Thomas will do everything to have a great farewell,” he explained, “and we will do everything to ensure that we can all maybe even celebrate it together.”
Therefore, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen appealed internally to the professionals. “I told the players emphatically that their personal interests must come second to those of the club and the team,” he told the Sports picture: “The most important thing is FC Bayern. The players must now bring the quality to the pitch that they undoubtedly have and they must feel grabbed for the honor.”

Worries regarding Sané: Is it enough for Freiburg?
Eberl was in the same vein when, with a view to the impending upheaval, he emphasized that everyone was playing on probation. Only those who show “heart and soul” for FC Bayern have a future with the record champions. He wants to see that immediately in his debut in Freiburg, the 2000th Bundesliga game (1206 wins) for Munich – and the sixth win in a row once morest SC.
It is questionable whether Leroy Sané can be involved. The offensive star, who has been suffering from repeated problems recently, was only able to work individually on Wednesday. Is it enough for use on Friday? Thomas Tuchel will give an answer at the press conference (Thursday, 12.30 p.m.). We report here in the live ticker. (sid/mm)
