Julian Nagelsmann has valued this Wednesday’s game at the Camp Nou in a press conference
“You can see changes, a development; It has been an important evolution and this now fits a lot with Barça’s philosophy”
Bayern visit the Camp Nou this Wednesday ready to maintain their excellent run against the Barça team. The Bavarian team has been the scourge in recent years of a Barça that almost panics when it has to be measured against the Germans. At a press conference prior to the Champions League clash this Wednesday, Julian Nagelsmann has shown respect for the Barcelona team.
“I can’t judge Barça’s situation. For us obviously it would be important to continue the good run in the Champions League. We do have more options than them, of course. Obviously I wish Lewandowski the best.Like all the players I’ve worked with,” says the former Hoffenheim coach.
On whether he has noticed many changes in the Catalan team compared to the previous season, “you can see changes, a development. Since last year there have been changes. It has been an important evolution; this fits a lot with Barça’s philosophy. They had chances at the Allianz and that’s something we have to avoid tomorrow. We will see what the result will be tomorrow. I insist that we all want to beat Barcelona, it’s important.”
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM XAVI’S APPROACH?
Regarding how the Catalan team can come out, he values that “we still don’t know what Barça’s plans will be. They are going to try to get control and the results of the last games and the performance in training is going to influence Xavi’s decision on the eleven. They are going to try to put us under pressure and we are going to see how they will play.”.
“I think they are still a very strong team, one of the best teams in the world. One of the greats. They are going to have opportunities and create their chances. In the last game against us we saw that they did not take advantage of them, but in the Champions League there is always a lot competition and it costs a lot,” added the Bayern coach.
