FC Bayern – Julian Nagelsmann comments on the cup debacle in Gladbach: “One of the saddest moments of my career”
Julian Nagelsmann had to watch the 0: 5 in Mönchengladbach from home. Now the Bayern coach spoke about his impressions.
Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann hopes to return to the Champions League game against Benfica on Tuesday after his corona quarantine has expired. “If everything goes normally, I’ll be on the sidelines,” said the 34-year-old on Friday.
At the first appearance after the historic cup disgrace in Mönchengladbach (0: 5) his team will have to do without their boss in the Bundesliga at Union Berlin on Saturday (3:30 p.m. in LIVE-TICKER). The use of Leon Goretzka (flesh wound on the Achilles tendon) is also open.
Nagelsmann tried to come to terms with the disaster in numerous conversations with his “leading players”, but also with CEO Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic: “But it wasn’t that we cried to each other over the phone about how bad everything is.”
FC Bayern – Julian Nagelsmann: 0-5 against Gladbach “not so easy to shake off”
This bankruptcy, he emphasized, should “remain unique if you want to have a decent half-life at Bayern Munich”. However, it is “not so easy to shake off”. For him it was “one of the saddest moments of my career” in addition to the cup final defeat with Leipzig against Dortmund.
“We have shown that we are people, not machines,” said Nagelsmann. He admitted that he “would have liked to be there” to help his team, “but then we would not have won either”.
It is about “proving again and again that we are Bayern Munich and that we belong to the best teams in Europe,” demanded the coach: “We claim to be champions who stand up again. I am also sure that we will be back get up and that there will be a reaction. “
