(Context, statements by Uli Hoeneß: We want to have a coach who improves the individual players. That is also the reproach! I have no problem at all with Thomas Tuchel privately. He's been to dinner with us a few times, they were nice evenings, everything was okay. But: He has a different attitude! Not that you can improve Pavlovic, that you can improve Davies. But rather: If it doesn't go any further, then we'll buy! That can't be the solution. I think we have to buy one or two good players, but we have to give the players we have confidence and work hard on them!)
Patrick (Wasserziehr, journalist who asked about the Hoeneß-Tuchel situation), when you ask great questions in an interview and then come up with an explosive answer-question game, of course we take notice. You're one of the greatest sports journalists of all time, it's unbelievable how you tease that out again
The background noise arises because you ask us about it all the time. If Uli Hoeneß made a statement and nobody asked about it, there wouldn't be any background noise. I quote Olli Kahn from a legendary interview: 'I don't give a shit'
Pack mas together! The UEFA Champions League match against Real Madrid C.F. is just around the corner. Therefore, full concentration on this highlight duel 💪😀⚽️
That's something that has accompanied us throughout the season, that we've had injuries, that players have been out for longer or shorter periods of time, which never allows a rhythm to develop
But at the moment, the team seems to be coping with it. Konny has nothing serious as far as the initial diagnosis is concerned. Matthijs doesn't have anything worse as far as the first diagnosis is concerned, so almost everyone will be back on board and ready to go on Tuesday
Mario: Yes and no. It also depends on how much you live it up. I always have to smile when I see photos of myself strutting around the pitch after games with my shirt off - like a rooster doing a rutting dance (laughs). I wouldn't do it today, especially as swapping shirts never meant anything to me. There was only one player I ever asked, and that was Claudio Pizarro
From my point of view, everything is clear: my contract runs until 2026 and there is no reason to think about a change
We now have a semi-final against Real Madrid to start with. That will be a huge challenge.
I have a new role in our system. Right from the start, I wanted to accept and implement what the coach expects of me. I'm able to win tackles and be important in the knockout games. That's what I'm trying to give the team now
Bayern Munich contacted me and I also informed the ÖFB. We have a very trusting relationship
We are fully focused on the European Championships. I feel very comfortable here. At the moment, there's no reason for me to focus intensively and specifically on it.
At the moment when the Bavarians would say: We want you. And then I have to ask myself: Do I even want that?
If I want to do something else, I'll discuss it with the ÖFB first and foremost
(He is not interested in money)No, that doesn't matter to me at all. For me, it's about other things: Can I make a difference? Is there anything I can do? Is there a chance to develop a team and be successful? That's what drives me. Once that no longer drives me, it's time to retire
