00:00 Franz Beckenbauer's death is hard to grasp.
00:05 He has such an incredible life and such an incredible personality.
00:11 I'm too young to have a memory of him as a player,
00:15 to have seen him live or on television.
00:19 But the dimension is a range that you can't grasp
00:25 and maybe not even put into words.
00:28 It will be very emotional tomorrow in the stadium
00:34 and it will be very emotional next week.
00:37 We will feel it in our own bodies,
00:40 the players who are even younger than me
00:43 and maybe have even less direct connection to him.
00:48 I think that will become very clear to me tomorrow
00:52 and at the latest next week at the planned funeral.
00:56 As I said, it's a split of course,
00:59 because we want to focus on the best possible start of the season
01:08 with a win, especially on the day we commemorate Franz Beckenbauer.
