"Hoffenheim have won all of their preseason games, won their Pokal game, and always performed well so far. They'll also be thinking: 'Now is the moment' - We're looking forward to this game, we're in good form - so we won't approach Hoffenheim any differently than we did with Chelsea. We have to see who's fit, who's feeling well - but underestimating them is not an option; that's the biggest danger."
"Whether it's Oktoberfest or not, life can't change for us if we want to perform well. Of course, it's a special feeling during this time in Munich, we all feel it. But I also have confidence in these moments. The players are no longer kids, some of them even have kids of their own - they know how to behave."
"We'll see tomorrow exactly how we plan. There aren't many options left after Stani's injury. With Raphaël Guerreiro, we'll see today how he's doing - he hasn't trained this week. Stani's injury isn't so serious; it's probably only a short-term issue. We'll solve it with the players we have,"
Bayern Munich beat Chelsea 3-1 in the Champions League and will not significantly change its approach for the upcoming Hoffenheim match. Hoffenheim arrive in strong form, having won preseason and a Pokal game, and must not be underestimated. Vincent Kompany emphasizes the squad's experience and professionalism, noting Oktoberfest will not affect team focus. Josip Stanišić has a short-term injury; Raphaël Guerreiro's fitness is uncertain. Konrad Laimer is expected to cover Stanišić's role, with Sacha Boey likely at right-back. The coach expects to resolve defensive rotations with available players and hopes Stanišić returns after the international break.
