Flick changes minimally: Bayern start with Coman

Triple heroes motivate Bavaria in a special way

Shortly before the giant summit against PSG, Munich triple heroes from 2013 encouraged the current Bayern team with video messages.

“I wish you all the best for the final,” said the former midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger in a short clip on Sunday, “and now I hope that you will get the crown.” Offensive man Franck Ribéry said: “I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, you’re better. Good luck and let’s go.”

In 2013, Schweinsteiger & Co. won the triple for the Munich team for the first time in the Wembley final with a 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund. The then shooter of the decisive goal, Arjen Robben, now ordered: “You just have to reward yourself.” The team should kick in and accelerate.

Bobic compares Tuchel with Klopp

Sports director Fredi Bobic from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt considers the work of coach Thomas Tuchel at the Champions League finalist Paris St. Germain not to be appreciated enough. “He’s a bit underestimated. He’s not just the laptop trainer. He can also spark emotions and set an example,” said Bobic before the final in the premier class on Sunday (9:00 pm / ZDF, Sky and DAZN) in Lisbon between Paris and Bayern Munich at sport1.

Tuchel was “not that different from our other overtrainer,” added Bobic, referring to Jürgen Klopp from Liverpool FC.

Bobic and Tuchel once played together at the Stuttgarter Kickers, even then it was noticed “that he is head-driven and intelligent”, revealed the Eintracht sports director. Tuchel could “be a role model for many other footballers who did not quite make it to the high level”.

Debate about the European Cup – will Corona mode remain?

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin is considering a possible waiver of return games in the European Football Cup and can envisage the permanent introduction of final tournaments. The system with one duel per match appears “more interesting,” said the head of the European Football Union of the AP news agency on Sunday. “It’s pretty complicated to put a Final 8 on the calendar. But we’ve seen that people want exciting games, that any team in the Champions League or Europa League can beat any team in a game. That’s why we prefer that for the future I think we have to start talking seriously in September or October. “

Before the final tournaments of the premier class in Lisbon and the Europa League in North Rhine-Westphalia, Ceferin had ruled out such thought games. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, UEFA had brought its European Cup competitions to one location at a time and from the quarter-finals onwards with just one duel. The previously known mode is largely set until 2024. In a European Cup revolution, it would have to be discussed from which round a possible final tournament could start. “You would be in the center of the world’s attention for a week and that would be fantastic, but we have to see,” said Ceferin.

Fink warns Bayern: “watch out until the last minute”

Former Munich Bundesliga professional Thorsten Fink warned Bayern about negligence in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain and urged them to concentrate until the final whistle.

“In the Champions League you have to be careful right up to the last minute. Small things can decide games – like in 1999,” said the 52-year-old in an interview with Sport1.

Before the final in the football premier class this Sunday (9 p.m. / ZDF, Sky, DAZN), Fink highlighted PSG world class strikers Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Ángel di María: “Together, this trio can be a problem for Bayern. PSG is in top shape. “

Lahm puts Flick on a level with Heynckes and Hitzfeld

Former soccer world champion Philipp Lahm ennobled Bayern coach Hansi Flick before the Champions League final against Paris St. Germain and placed it on a par with the greatest coaches in the club’s history. “If you look at the past of FC Bayern, Ottmar Hitzfeld or Jupp Heynckes, then it was one of the strengths of these coaches not to be in the foreground but to work for the team. That’s exactly how Hansi Flick is,” praised the long-time Bayern captain on ZDF.

Flick has “bundled the forces within the club”, Lahm continued: “He saw who he can really trust, who is important to the team.” The 55-year-old found a good mix of seasoned and young, hungry professionals and formed them into a unit.

“The team has absolutely found each other,” says Lahm. That is why she is “a tad the bigger favorite” for the final on Sunday evening against Paris St. Germain (9 p.m. / Sky, DAZN and ZDF). Unlike the triple team from 2013, the current Bayern team could play freely: “The pressure was enormous for us back then because we had lost two finals before. So I would say the pressure is not as high as it was back then.”

Löw: Bayern triumphs with Flick “logical consequence”

National coach Joachim Löw was not surprised by the success of his former assistant Hansi Flick as head coach at Bayern. “Because he is simply good, has a tremendous acceptance among the players who can form, lead and develop a team. That success came was the logical consequence for me,” wrote Löw in an article for “Bild am Sonntag” the Champions League final of the German soccer champions against Paris Saint-Germain. Löw and Flick led the national team to the world title in 2014. “That will bind us together forever,” assured the national coach. “We have become good friends!”

Löw cited the professional competence and offensive game philosophy of the coach as well as his “very empathic nature” as reasons for the upswing of the Munich team under Flick. Flick gives the players the feeling that he also takes them seriously in his private life and brings a familiar touch. “But: Hansi is tough and disciplined in this matter. He stands for his convictions,” said the 60-year-old Löw.

Paris coach Tuchel is pushed through the hotel in a wheelchair

Because of a metatarsal fracture Paris coach Thomas Tuchel has to wear a special bandage, a so-called Airwalker. Accordingly, he spent most of the quarter-finals against Bergamo and the semi-finals against Leipzig sitting on the sideline – and still went along extremely emotionally. He came to the press conference on Friday with forearm crutches.

But then an unusual picture of the PSG coach emerged. It shows Tuchel in a wheelchair. According to the “Bild”, Tuchel wants to “protect his feet as well and as much as possible”. That’s why he lets himself be chauffeured accordingly. Allegedly he is pushed in a wheelchair in the hotel, especially for video conferences.

FCB coach wants to keep the game philosophy

Hansi Flick sees Bayern’s offensive game philosophy as a recipe for success in the Champions League final. “We have enforced our philosophy in the last ten months, that was our guarantee of success and we won’t change that much,” said the Bayern coach before the final.

In the past few months, Bayern have been honored “that we stand so high” and “pressed our opponents high,” said Flick. Against PSG with the fast attacking artists Neymar and Mbappé, it is important “that we get pressure on the ball”.

Flick is expecting an “interesting game” in the “Stadium of Light” in Lisbon, and Thomas Tuchel’s team is a top team with “outstanding players” who are of “enormous quality” in terms of football. “We have made up our minds and a plan,” said Flick: “I hope that we will implement it that way. You can crown yourself.”

Mbappé: “A day like any other until 7.30 p.m.”

At PSG star Kylian Mbappé, there is little tension before the final. Regarding his daily routine on the day of the final, he said: “I call my friends, I watch films. Tomorrow until 7.30 p.m. it’s a day like any other for me.”
