– Thomas Tuchel:
“We did a few good things in the game, but once again we weren’t fluid enough. We couldn’t bring the enthusiasm from the training week onto the pitch again. The result is great, we won 3-0 in the end, but there’s still a lot to do. We were sometimes too static, there wasn’t enough flow in the game
We can’t concede so many big chances in games like this when we’re in control.”
on Eric Dier: “He will train with us tomorrow. He’s in top shape. He didn’t play much in the past 6 months, but before that he always played with all other coaches. He will be a valuable addition for us in central defense. He can also help us switch to a back 3 system. He also frees up Leon Goretzka for the midfield.”
on a new right-back: “We are looking for a right-back who is strong in duels. We’ll see if something is possible. Nous Mazraoui is at the Africa Cup, but we have also gotten used to Konrad Laimer at right-back, even though it’s not his best position. If there’s an opportunity on the market, we’ll take it. Otherwise things will stay this way”
on the midfield and why Palhinha won’t be joining Bayern this month: “Pavlović is a complete player for the team. We now have four players for the defensive midfield. We want to guarantee playing time. Realistic chances to play are essential. Currently, we don’t have the greatest need in that position. We initiated the discussion as I analyzed the characters. The players are performing very well. They are very mobile.“
Palhinha?
“I only want to talk about our players.”
on Musiala: “Jamal was absolutely our best player today. He was the only one who had the freedom and the desire to create something. Leroy didn’t have his best day today and wasn’t decisive in the game. Harry wasn’t having his best day either. We almost gave the game away in the middle of the second half. We can do much better.”
on Leroy Sané: “He has to play with more physicality again. He has so much physical potential, in fast runs, in sprints. He can’t do without that, it’s not enough for me. There’s room for improvement”
on Manuel Neuer: “He was calm, collected and was there when it mattered despite not being involved for so long. It shouldn’t be a surprise because he has a huge experience and has been doing it for years. He’s still one of the best goalkeepers in the world and on his way back to his best level. I’m very happy for him personally and also for us in general. We know we can rely on him when we concede chances. He did that tremendously well”

– Jamal Musiala:
“It was a great game, I had a lot of fun. We had a lot of the ball and did good counter-pressing. We could have created more chances, we are all hungry. The most important thing is that we kept a clean sheet and got the three points
On the first goal today after a corner: “All the praise goes to Anthony Barry, he always has great ideas. We practiced that in training. We want to be unpredictable.”
on Sané assisting him twice today: “We are really good friends, we like to play together and we both are very strong with the ball. It’s really fun to play with Leroy”
on how many goals he’s targeting in the second half of the season: “As many as possible. I’m working a lot on my finishing because I know that I have to make better use of my chances. Today was good, I have to continue the same way now”
on Franz Beckenbauer: “We wanted to go out, give everything and get the win – for him too. He’s a big legend and icon of football”
– Manuel Neuer
on Eric Dier: “I saw him this morning and now too in the dressing room. We hope he will be a hit for us and can help us defensively”
– Thomas Müller:
“We did some good things in the 90 minutes, some not so good. We really needed Manuel Neuer at a time when things could have turned out differently. In the end we did well, but we lacked a bit of fluidity. We were active against the ball, but we didn’t create enough chances with the ball. It wasn’t perfect, but a 3-0 win is still okay”
– Matthijs de Ligt
on Franz Beckenbauer: “He was a role model for me. He is the benchmark among centre-backs”
– Harry Kane
on Eric Dier: “I’ve known Eric for a long time, played with him for a long time, and I know what a great player he can be for us. He’s obviously really happy and excited and we’re happy to have him. hopefully he settles right in. He’s a good guy, he’ll get his head straight down and into the team”
on moving with his family into a house in Munich: “I’m slowly but surely getting into a nice routine. This is our home now. We want to make it as special as possible, not just for me but for my wife as well”
