Which players are available for Saturday's home game? How did training go this week? What are Zsolt Löw's thoughts on FC Bayern?
Our head coach provided an answer to all those questions at the press conference ahead of #RBLFCB.
Everybody knows that Bayern are a great team. Harry Kane will be replaced by a different player, who possibly will interpret his role slightly differently.I watched back the whole first half from our game against Bayern back in 2017. We can use it as motivation and it gave me a few ideas and memories of how to approach the game. We can also learn things from our win in 2018.We want to play better football and show more passion. We want to play well for the whole 90 minutes. The fans have always been behind us when we've looked to control the game and be aggressive. That is what we'll try and do tomorrow. The crowd need to see a team that is desperate to win the game.
Zsolt Löw
This week was effectively like a trial week ahead of the Bayern game. It's no secret that we were disappointed with the performance against Frankfurt. Instead of analysing the game from a tactical perspective, we took a different approach. We spoke about other things that are important in football.I wanted to see players being committed and dedicated to the cause. Football is not about getting to a certain level and then just remaining in your comfort zone when the going gets tough. You also have to put your body on the line and stick at it. You have to put the team first.Every player has had the whole week of training to show that they are ready to play a big game like this one against Bayern. One criteria for picking my starting line-up will be definitely be how the lads trained this week.
Zsolt Löw
Our fans are always really important. I can remember a few games we've played against Bayern at the Red Bull Arena. We will try to get the fans off their seats tomorrow. I'm sure we'll have them on our side if we can fire them up.However, we won't dominate Bayern over the course of the 90 minutes, there will definitely be some difficult moments. I hope they stick with us during those too."

„Ich habe mit Yussi bewusst das Gespräch gesucht, weil wir uns schon sehr lange kennen, eigentlich seit 2015. Mich hat seine Meinung interessiert und wie er die Sache sieht. Ich habe einfach mal mit ihm darüber gesprochen, wie wir die Sache gemeinsam angehen können. Er ist ein erfahrener Spieler und bei uns im Mannschaftsrat, er hat ein gutes Gefühl für die Kabine in der jetzigen Situation.Ich habe unsere Erfahrungen mit ihm geteilt, wir hatten ein sehr gutes Gespräch. Danach sind wir so rausgegangen, dass wir beide in unseren Bereichen das Maximale tun wollen in dieser Woche.“
