When I take over the position of the first coach I will have the opportunity to rediscover all that pressure and adrenaline that the preparation and duration of a match offers you. I really can’t live without it, I need it to be happy.”
For Kingsley Coman: “He is now starting to reach the ceiling of his potential, he is playing with great maturity. He makes Bayern Munich better and his recent performances have really been top notch.
