"Both are a very hard-working team with a good mix of different profiles. They're very active. We've always shown when a team wants to bring that intensity that we're there and can play well. I think it's always good when an opponent brings that intensity. That's also good for the fans. That brings the best out of a game. We're up for this one, because that's one of our strengths, but also one of theirs,"
"It's the same hunger. We had seven games in 20 days. We've shown that hunger since 1 January, including in those first games with those results. But when you have so many games, including away from home, a week like we've just had is sometimes good. You can then enjoy it. We've been able to prepare. We've got three games in six days next week again, but then we've got three weeks like this one,"
Hoffenheim has been arguably the Bundesliga's best team since the winter break. Both teams are very hard-working with a mix of different player profiles and high intensity. Bayern can respond well when opponents raise intensity, which benefits the fans and the quality of matches. Bayern endured a difficult recent run but welcomed a week without midweek fixtures after seven games in 20 days to rest and prepare. A congested schedule returns with three games in six days followed by quieter weeks. The coach is scrutinizing defensive issues while preserving strong goal output and seeking structural balance through proactive adjustments.
