Julian Nagelsmann not only had to answer questions this Saturday regarding the 1:0 against Arminia Bielefeld Other topics were also brought up, which the FC Bayern coach also commented on.
Chances galore, goal yield meagre: Julian Nagelsmann had to live with a 0-0 draw against outsiders Arminia Bielefeld for a long time on Saturday evening before the coach, who is always agile on the touchline, was finally able to record a 1-0 working victory.
The FC Bayern coach also confirmed in an interview with Sky that the previous BVB victory in Wolfsburg (3:1, thus temporarily first with two points more) also made it a special situation – especially because of the upcoming classic at Signal-Iduna-Park: “We had enough chances to win the game. It then became more and more a game of patience – and you’re also under a bit of pressure because Dortmund had just won before.”
“The knot was then broken by a very beautifully played goal. And a 1:0 in the autumn is also good, and overall we defended well.” And so “we now travel to Dortmund full of anticipation as league leaders. “
“Both sides are always a bit involved “
In the run-up to the match, Nagelsmann had to take a stand on other topics – and did so without grumbling: “At FC Bayern, it’s also part of the job to take a stand on certain topics. I have the most speaking time in the media, that’s a bit normal as a coach. You have to clearly separate the thoughts in your head. But I still have enough capacity to take care of the sporting side as well.” Above all, the turbulent annual general meeting last Thursday predominated as a topic here, to which the 34-year-old said: “In such an emotional conflict, both sides are always a bit involved. There were certainly situations that we as a club could have solved better, but there were also situations that the members could have solved better. “
As far as himself was concerned, Nagelsmann also got rid of something: “There have probably been easier situations to become Bayern coach: first that of the very successful time, then with Corona and the issue of the annual general meeting. It’s always a bit of a tightrope walk, like with the unvaccinated players. You try to support the players and still convince them. It’s a bit of a wriggle, it’s not that easy. Nevertheless, I think I can manage it well – together with the staff. “
