00:00In general, I told the players, honestly, that I was impressed.
00:09Because you know who's there and you know who's not there as well.
00:12So it's difficult to go into these games when so many players are still to come back
00:18and still look the same, still look the Bayern Munich that we can be.
00:22And obviously there's going to be a difference because some players are young,
00:26some players never played against a team from this level.
00:30But if I look at how Binder and Maikon defended today, the duels that went into the fight,
00:37you know, like Maikon took on the fight with Mati Cash.
00:40You know, I've been there with other teams against these same players
00:44and I know how tough it is to come out with a good performance.
00:50If I look at just in general, the energy we had in midfield also with Pavlo, Bischoff,
00:58Connie, who helps us anywhere we need him, you know.
01:02So I can keep naming reasons, but then you go and look at who still has to come back for
01:08us.
01:09And then the picture is at least interesting.
01:13At least interesting.
01:14We put a lot of time, a lot of energy in the development of these players who you saw today.
01:20We've been doing it for like nearly 12 months now.
01:23And to get a little bit of reward for the work we did behind the scenes,
01:27that doesn't look like it's not the 122 goals you had in the Bundesliga.
01:31It's not the Ballon d'Or winners or contenders.
01:37But it's these boys that we've put a lot of time into to help us be a bit more of
01:41a bigger squad
01:43with our own resources.
01:44You talk about resources, every club has its means and every club has its limits.
01:49And we can do creative things, but this is one way for us to strengthen the squad.
01:54So I was happy with that.
