Successful dress rehearsal for FC Bayern! In the confident 6-0 friendly win on Monday evening at FC Red Bull Salzburg, the Munich team didn't miss a beat and gained plenty of self-confidence for the start of the second half of the season (Saturday, January 11th, at 6:30 p.m. in Gladbach). “We did a good job of preparing for the short period. A short break now, then we can start again on Saturday,” said Konrad Laimer with satisfaction. Head coach Vincent Kompany could only agree: “We won, that’s always good. And no injuries, that’s the most important thing.” fcbayern.com has collected more votes for you.
The voices from the test match at FC Red Bull Salzburg
Christopher Freund (Sports director, before the game): “The break was short, but we were able to recover for a few days, which was important. You can also notice that with the boys, they are back with fresh energy and passion. We have good energy and are looking forward to getting started again. Manuel Neuer is on his way back. I hope that he will be there again on Saturday, he has already trained part of the way again, it looks quite good. For Sven Ulreich it is stress management. Jamal Musiala is a bit unwell, it's a precautionary measure, we hope he'll be back on Saturday. Serge Gnabry is on his way back, he's already trained, but we don't want to take any risks today. It could be that he will be there again on Saturday.”

Vincent Kompany: “We won, that’s always good. And no injuries, that's the most important thing. It was good for fitness, we didn't have a long break and we didn't feel that the team needed a long time to look good again at the beginning. We’re now looking forward to the Bundesliga again.”
Thomas Müller: “A test match is there to get back into the rhythm, it’s not primarily about the result. Of course, we still take a 6-0 win as a positive. We will certainly take another look at the way we played. We know what we need to play a good Bundesliga game at the weekend. Nothing happened today that would deter us from our path, but it’s not like the game on Saturday is already set after today.”
Konrad Laimer: “Basically it always takes a break to get going, but it was a good test, we got into our game right away. We showed a confident performance over 90 minutes and scored the goals – there were a few things we could have done a little better. But for the short preparation we did it properly. We only have this week left to train and we have to make sure we get the content, the physicality, the fitness in. We are fully there and fit.”
That's what the opponent FC Red Bull Salzburg says
Thomas Letsch (coach, FC Red Bull Salzburg): “Of course we all imagined it differently. I said in advance that we wanted to show that we were up to something – at least we were able to do that. Bavaria was two classes superior to us in all respects. The game showed in a harsh way that we still have a lot to do. Nevertheless, we are talking about Bayern Munich – a team that has the ambition to become not only German champions, but also Champions League winners and that has brutal quality.”
Alexander Schlager (goalkeeper, FC Red Bull Salzburg): “Of course, we only started training four days ago and are playing directly against the German record champions – that’s not the easiest task. There is a lot that we can take with us today. There were also a few moments in which, if we had acted even more courageously, something would have been possible. Of course, 0:6 is no fun, but there were a lot of things that we can learn from for spring preparation.”
