And we are now talking to our reporter in Munich, Marc Gabel. Mark much more bitter cannot do it for us. He had only fought back after a muscle bundle tear. Now the next injury. How long will he be?
Yes, you saw it in the pictures. When he was actually cleared up there by Donna Uma, the players were around it, almost nobody could look because it was actually clear that must be something really serious. Dr. Jochen Hahne, the team doctor of FC Bayern, was then in close exchange with the doctors. Mo Salah then immediately came to a hospital in Atlanta, because then the diagnosis of the fabric is broken and several ligaments have been affected. You then decided relatively quickly. He is not operated on in the United States. He then flew back to Orlando with the team and will also come back to Munich with the team and operate here, because then you simply have the operation, the subsequent rehab and the convalescence in one hand. But of course it can’t go much more bitter. Downtime in the best case 4 to 5 months. This means that one can actually speak of the fact that the preliminary round, not the preliminary round, the first round, the Bundesliga first round for Jamal Messala.
Yes, a very, very important player lacks Bayern. What does that mean for the coming season? What does that mean especially for Bayern’s transfer window? What is now on. And of course there is now a look, who will be in the squad next year?
Yes, honestly, FC Bayern’s transfer policy throws a little over the heap. Because of course the focus was on a wing racer that one wanted to hire again. Until last night and now you were of course also on Nick. Then you wanted to, who was actually a kind of backup until last night and now he suddenly is no longer. Now it is urgently needed. You don’t know, you wanted to go from VfB Stuttgart to Bayern, Bayern only want to let him go to VfB Stuttgart, unless an exorbitant high transfer fee is paid for around 80 million. And that will not improve the negotiations with VfB Stuttgart with which VfB Stuttgart does not improve, so much is certain. So another scenario about the yesterday until before the game you couldn’t have thought about it. For example, the contract with Thomas Müller would not be extended another six months for another year. Because then the backup for Jamal Salah would be there and Thomas Müller would certainly not let FC Bayern hang. So that will be exciting weeks and a lot of work for sports director Max Eberl.
So of course we have a look. Bayern were in the USA to win a title. Now it’s over in the quarter -finals. Give us a little assessment. Where do the Munich people are now?
Well, Hurricane said before this game against Paris we are able to beat everyone. Since yesterday you know well, you are able to keep up with everyone. But to the industry leader Paris Saint Germain and these are at the moment. In European football, there is still a long time missing. Unfortunately, you just have to say that clearly. You have now taken £ 47 million through the quarter -finals of this club World Cup. Of course, the 17 million would have been given to reach the semi -finals, would have liked to take with you, but there is a lot of work. Vincent Kompany knows exactly that is not enough to play on the highest international parquet. The two have known that since last night. Yes, Paris Saint Germain is a bit the benchmark at the moment. And the Bavarians are still missing a bit. At least purely financially, the trip to the USA was worth it. But as far as the playful is concerned, Bayern definitely have to put on it and they have to strengthen themselves in some positions. That also became quite clear yesterday.
Yes, we are excited to see what you are doing with these big sums. Thank you, but first to Munich to you like the assessments this Sunday.
