00:00 Welcome everyone, thanks for coming to our pre-match press conference.
00:19 Of course it's a concern, but that's why we knew that before.
00:25 That's why we constructed the squad with that.
00:30 So we can deal with it and the squad can deal with it.
00:34 He had some complaints, we have to see how bad it is.
00:39 He finished training, but he was not good enough to travel.
00:43 Of course we analyse why things happen, but also we have to deal with the facts.
00:51 It's always about the players who are available. That's a strong side.
00:56 We have to get the best out of it and we are focusing on that.
01:01 Tomorrow we have to bring a good team, make the next step,
01:06 integrating Rasmus Hoyland and Hegel-Johan.
01:10 Two new players in our way of playing. We are here to get the result.
01:15 You were praised for your style of play, almost getting to the final of Ajax.
01:21 There's been some critique that you still haven't got a start to the playoff.
01:25 Is that the biggest frustration?
01:27 These were great years for me. I really enjoyed it here.
01:32 I like the mentality from Bayern, the region Bayern, especially the club.
01:42 We had great years. First year especially we were champions,
01:48 but then we were unlucky that we didn't promote it.
01:52 I'll never forget that.
01:54 But it was also a good experience you get as a manager and as a coach.
01:58 For me it was a very good experience to be here and it was enjoyable.
02:03 It's not always going well. You have to deal with it.
02:10 I think we discussed it in San Diego.
02:15 I don't think we have to repeat this debate.
02:20 We are happy with Rasmus.
02:23 In the first games he was injured. He played in Arsenal and now he's starting.
02:31 Now of course we have to integrate and make a team.
02:35 But you can see he's a big talent and he will contribute to our game.
02:41 We are quite confident of that.
02:43 Do you have any regrets about not starting Harry Kane?
02:45 No.
02:47 I really enjoyed it here. I like the mentality.
02:51 One thing is true. I think from the start last season I almost never started with the best.
03:00 I would say I might have been the best starter level.
03:05 It was always something like an injury.
03:07 But you have to deal with it.
03:09 I think we always got the results in.
03:13 Apart from the period where we are now.
03:16 That is football. There's always part of it.
03:21 I have experience in the past. I have managed it in the past.
03:25 It's not always going well.
03:27 You have to deal with it.
03:30 I like the situations.
03:33 Because now we have to handle it.
03:35 We have to manage this.
03:39 You have to know what to do.
03:41 That is focusing on the process.
03:44 I don't think we have to repeat this debate.
03:49 So we are happy?
03:51 No.
03:53 I don't feel that we need to reset.
03:56 We are in the process.
03:58 What you see is that we in parts of the game play very good.
04:03 But also in parts of the games we play below our levels.
04:09 So what we have to demand is to be consistent.
04:14 So we have to step up in certain levels all the time.
04:18 For 90 plus minutes.
04:20 That is the demand on us.
04:22 We didn't start well this season.
04:35 But I am very confident everything will get alright.
04:38 I am excited for tomorrow.
04:41 It is an important game for us.
04:43 When I see how the team is working.
04:45 How we have been working this week.
04:48 I am very confident and I am very excited.
04:51 Thank you.
04:52 Thank you.
04:53 Thank you.
04:55 Thank you.
04:56 Thank you.
04:57 Thank you.
04:58 Thank you.
