What makes Stuttgart special, and what are the key factors? In previous meetings, you had good records, but the matches were often very close. One more question – this is your third season in the Bundesliga. Since you know the Premier League very well, what do you find most interesting about the Bundesliga compared to it?

First, regarding Stuttgart – Stuttgart and this match have some similarities to the Premier League. Their intensity is very high, they press opponents constantly, and they use possession-based football to create attacking opportunities. In recent years, the team's strength has gradually improved.

In the last season, they were the second-best attacking team in the Bundesliga. If I were to buy a ticket for the opening match, Stuttgart would certainly be a formidable opponent. Both teams will showcase their full attacking power, and both sides will implement their tactical approaches firmly. Hoeneß has trained this team very well.

Now let's discuss the Bundesliga. Germany's unique fan culture and excellent infrastructure make every match feel like a major encounter. However, we shouldn't underestimate the competitive level of the Bundesliga.

It's undeniable that the Premier League operates at a higher financial level. However, the Bundesliga has significant international potential, and the league's intensity combined with diverse tactical styles is perfectly balanced. There is no monotonous football style in the Bundesliga.

Playing against Union Berlin, Frankfurt, or Leipzig offers completely different match experiences. All teams are competitive, and matches feature many goals. As we all constantly seek improvement, we should protect the Bundesliga's unique strengths, because there is always room for progress.

Compared to last week, are there any other changes among injured players? Has Lennart-Karl returned to the squad? At what stage is Saybari's recovery?

Lennart-Karl has returned. How much he can play tomorrow, I'll need to observe for a bit longer. He's been away from the pitch for a long time, and this is his first opportunity. Saybari's recovery is satisfactory.

We currently have two options – either start him tomorrow, or carefully consider the upcoming busy fixture schedule and monitor him for a few more matches.

The final decision will come tonight, and we'll also assess his training condition today. However, he's close to being able to play 90 minutes. Whether he plays tomorrow is not yet confirmed.

Nathaniel Brown appears to be a candidate to start as a number 10. Could you give us some thoughts? What do you think are the advantages of playing as a number 10? How would the attack differ if Saybari or other players played instead?

As I mentioned, this is my third season coaching Bayern Munich. We've watched many of our matches, and we've seen the team's tactical changes. For example, last season Guerreiro was originally a left-back, but frequently played as a number 10 in midfield and produced excellent results in goals and assists.

In our team, the responsibilities of full-backs and number 10 players overlap significantly. Both can move into midfield to win the ball and drop back to provide support. Therefore, it's no surprise that Laimer, Brown, and Guerreiro can all play as a number 10.

Nathaniel Brown played as a number 10 for a long time during his youth academy career and has good understanding of the position. Yes, he has played more as a full-back at Bayern Munich, but this player can play anywhere – left-back, right-back, number 10, center midfield – and so on.

That doesn't mean we'll necessarily play him in those positions later, but he has the relevant skills. Laimer is also a versatile player who has been tried at right-back, left-back, number 6, center midfield, and winger, with good results. Our team has many such versatile players. Bischof was also tried at left-back, right-back, and number 10 during pre-season matches. Rather than assembling 25 players for a single position, having a group of versatile players who can adapt to different roles gives us more playing time options.
