Julian Nagelsmann took the same line. “I’m looking forward to the start with great anticipation,” said the FCB coach, adding: “Friday evening, the start of the season, it will be a good game.” The Reds showed in the first half of the Supercup on Saturday that his team will be able to outplay an opponent again this season. “We were able to get a lot out of the game against Leipzig, it was very valuable,” said Nagelsmann, who sees no problem in Robert Lewandowski’s departure: “We could become more variable. Everyone has to take on more responsibility. Everyone has to move more. “

Jens Petter Hauge has now been signed by AC Milan after being loaned out last year.
