Neuer: “The Alaba door is very important to us”
Shortly after the game, Manuel Neuer points out David Alaba’s important draw just before the break. “Of course, David Alaba’s goal shortly before the break was very important. This 1-1, with which we then went to the dressing room, was crucial to allow us to relax and breathe with a positive feeling.”
“The second half was very good of us. We had the game under control. They stole two goals from us in tight offside situations, but basically we were the best team,” said the Bayern captain.
Even if the Bayern players say they were the best team, Munich cannot deny that Dortmund still had enough chances to possibly win the game.
Hansi Flick attributes Borussia’s many opportunities to his own weaknesses. “Dortmund became dangerous when we made mistakes. We have to play the ball better and with more patience, then there will be fewer situations than against Dortmund.”
“We gave everything, but you also play against really strong players. They are all very strong with the ball. Of course, it is always difficult to defend. We are basically the team that conceded the fewest goals. That is the key,” he said. Manuel Neuer.
Kimmich’s injury overshadows the win
But there is no reason to cheer on Bayern on Saturday night either. The main reason is the injury of Bayern aspirant Joshua Kimmich, who probably seriously injured his knee in a duel with Dortmund striker Erling Haaland.
In any case, the German national team player had to be transported from the pitch crying, supported by two supervisors. “We hope it is not so bad. Basically he is a high performance player and a leading player in the center axis for us. It was noticed that we had to meet again after the injury,” said Bayern captain Manuel Neuer.
Also in the Dortmund field there is concern about the condition of the Bayern player. “I hope Joshua comes out of this situation in shape. I cross my fingers to get him back quickly, he’s a great player and a great guy,” said Mats Hummels, who has known Kimmich very well from his time at Bayern.
Bayern coach Hansi Flick is unable to provide any information on the severity of the injury shortly after the game. “There is no reason to speculate. We will wait and see what comes out and then react accordingly. He is in this position with our key player, so it would not be easy to deal with a failure.”
Favre: “Loss difficult to accept”
On the part of Borussia Dortmund, they are aware of the great missed opportunity to steal at least one point from Bayern on Saturday, the greater the anger after the match.
“We had so many opportunities to score, that was incredible. We have to make better use of them. It’s difficult to lose games like this. We wanted to get at least one point. It’s difficult to accept,” BVB coach Lucien Favre said shortly after the match. final whistle. .
Defense chief Mats Hummels hits the same line as his coach after the game. “Today we lacked coldness in front of goal. We had many huge opportunities that unfortunately we did not take advantage of. We did not dominate the game, but it was not a bad game for us.”
In addition to bad luck in front of the opposing goal, according to Hummels, there was also bad luck in front of his own goal. “The three opposing goals were deflected, luck was not on our side today. Luck and bad luck are usually decisive in the best matches.”
Alaba sets Bundesliga record
On Saturday ÖFB legionnaire David Alaba had a very special day, who not only made a significant contribution to FC Bayern’s victory with his free-kick hammer to make it 1-1, but also celebrated a record special.
