"It will definitely be a different game. We're very much looking forward to it. We're in good form, we all came back fit from the national team. I hope we'll be able to bring the same energy onto the pitch. And then we'll see what's possible,"
"The squad got thinner quantity wise, we all know that. But from a quality point of view, it's looking very good. We depend on players staying fit. We saw that last season when we had many injuries in 'crunch time', so I hope the situation will be better this season in February, March, April. We also have three long-term injuries. Hopefully they all come back this year, and then we'll have a very good team together."
"I understand Uli Hoeneß' perspective,"
"He shaped the club and made it big. He's in the best position to assess the situation."
Bayern Munich have a perfect start to the season and prepare to begin their Champions League campaign against Chelsea. Joshua Kimmich expects a different, tougher game and hopes the team can bring the same energy after returning fit from international duty. Kimmich acknowledged a thinner squad in quantity but maintained that quality remains high and emphasized the team's dependence on player fitness, recalling last season's injury problems during crucial months. Bayern currently have three long-term injuries and expect their returns this year to strengthen the squad. Bayern spent €88M in summer while Chelsea spent €355M, a disparity criticized by Uli Hoeneß and agreed on by Kimmich.
