The last matches had hurt our self-confidence, you could see that. We were nervous at first. But the 1-0 freed us up and I think we played a pretty good match after that.

This is a great opportunity to take a new orientation. We do depend a lot on him but that does not mean we will have problems once he's gone.

I was convinced before the game that we had a very good chance but today was what you would call in Germany a blackout.

I have no rules on drinking. In your young days, you can play strong even if you are not healthy. If they want to get drunk and smoke, they can, but not immediately after a match when the body is weak and vulnerable.

He's totally innocent. He never bets and does not even play cards.

If we beat Hamburg, the championship will be out of their reach. Clearly, that's what we are after.

The national team members on Bayern have a great opportunity to restore their pride. It was a real debacle. I think several of my players have had Milan in mind since that game, and if that's the case we have a good chance.

The national team players, especially, really got hit hard.

Everyone expected us to beat the bottom team but we went forward too much and forgot that Cologne can also score goals.

Everyone knows recent results have dented our confidence, so it was no surprise we were nervous at the start and hardly put together a move. We slowly got into the match before half-time. Taking the lead released a lot of the pressure, and after that we played like the league leaders.
