Eber: "I mean Jackson" is not true, we are very satisfied with the current roster

Hupu, August 8, Bayern beat Tottenham 4-0. After the game, Bayern senior executive Max Ebert accepted an interview with the media.

What do you think of the team's performance today? I think you can see that you have entered a good preparation state?

Yes, I have only been training for a week now, and my performance today is quite surprising. We played calmly, everyone was motivated, engaged, and no one was injured - this was the most important thing in a friendly match. Of course, we also showed a sense of "hunger", both in goals and defense are of great quality. Overall I think it's very successful. The score of

4 to 0 is very clear, and in fact, you can even win bigger. The only thing that can be improved is probably the ability to seize opportunities?

Yes, this is also being said in the locker room now. Conny (Lemmer) can actually shoot directly, not necessarily crossing. We have created many opportunities. Although two of the four goals were not 100% chance, they scored in the end, and the quality was very high. But we have more opportunities, right?

Are there any young players who are particularly worth mentioning? What else do they need to do to gain a foothold in the first team?

Look at our lineup, they actually have a chance to get playing time. They performed well in this brief preparation period, and they were already around the team when they were in the Club World Cup, familiar with our rhythm and tactical requirements, which made it easier for them to integrate into it. They are willing to listen and learn, so they can perform like this.

Of course, it must be made clear: this is just a 20-minute game, or a friendly match. The next step is to maintain this performance in longer-term games. But at present, they all left a very, very good first impression.

Do you have any further plans for your transfer operations? You said you were satisfied with the team, but also retained some "backdoors"?

Yes, because you never know what will happen in the transfer market. I said we are currently very satisfied and have advantages. So we can first observe and see what will happen around us and whether there are new opportunities. But games like today will also make us more cautious when considering signings, and the threshold will be higher - this is actually a good thing.

Regarding Chelsea's Nicholas Jackson, there are rumors that you have contacted him. Is this true?

is not true, I have never talked to him.

Then let's change the name?

Continue to list. But this news is completely untrue.

Now can you be a little easier? Didn’t you say before that, will you be busier after Diastil leave?

In fact, we have always known what to do and what we want to achieve. Although there are many things to complete within a week, I have actually done a lot of preparations before.

Our current lineup has basically been completed, of course the market is always open. But we can observe calmly at the moment without rushing to act.

I heard that you will be trying to exert some more force in Stuttgart (for Walter Mard) tomorrow (Friday)?

I haven't heard of it, I've seen it in the media. We did not receive such information.

But this matter still has an impact on you, right?

We have said enough. We have expressed our attitude and conveyed sincerity to the players and Stuttgart. But if the other party does not show his willingness to talk, then this matter will be over for us.

In today's game, is Tottenham too weak or Bayern too strong?

It depends on the opponent's status. We played very well. You can say that Tottenham travels, tired, just finished their trip to Asia - but they are also unwilling to lose 0-4. We probably didn't play badly.

Nothing you said just now is ruled out, does that include selling players? For example, Kim Min-jae may consider leaving the team?

The current lineup is like this, and we are very satisfied with the current lineup. We do not take the initiative to operate the transfer window, but if any player clearly expresses his desire to leave, we must of course reconsider, such as whether we need to sign. In short, we are very relaxed at the moment and wait and see. Will your workload increase after Michael Diederich leaves office?

Yes, now I am in charge of finance, and I have an "unlimited pass". But don't tell the Supervisory Board (laughs).

We have worked very well in the past. Although he was only in office for 15 months, we have always communicated closely and cooperated happily. In fact, there is not much change at the moment, sponsorship is still there, communication is smooth, and the financial situation is also very good. Maybe he didn't renew his contract because he was satisfied with the status quo, I'm not sure.

Is Harry Kane not playing that penalty kick because he is still nostalgic for his old club?

He will score the next 30 goals, and I think so too.

Speaking of the contract, Upamecano expires in 2026. How is the renewal of the contract now?

He is one of our goals for renewal. The season has just ended and the contract renewal is about to begin. Now eight contracts in the team are about to expire, and Upa is also one of the core we hope to stay. What about

Davis and Ito Yoshiki? Their injury may take until October, so will this affect your transfer decision?

does affect it because you don't want to buy a replacement, but the lineup is too bloated when all the wounded are back in October. But we will not sign someone because of this short-term problem. Their recovery is currently as planned, but their injuries are already serious, especially Ito has been injured for the third time. Hopefully they can return to the team in October or November.

The previous contract renewals, some of you have been talking for a long time, and some are very fast, such as Mushara. Have you learned the lesson now and hoped to renew the players' appointment sooner?

Yes, we did act earlier this time. We don't want to stand there until June 15th, with Davis' contract expiration, Kimmich's contract expiration, Musiara only one year left. We dare not think of that situation, but it could have happened. So this time we renewed them all in advance.

For example, we have not moved the contract of Leroy Sane for the time being, for a reason. We also have backup plans, such as if we talk to someone very quickly, then we can succeed. We have our own pace, some talk quickly, and some talk slowly.

and Leonard Carl also have a contract renewal plan. Do you have confidence?

is very confident. I hope I said nothing wrong, and the situation looks good at the moment.

Today's Super Cup match against Stuttgart was very exciting. Do you think it is a suitable touchstone?

I think we played well against Lyon and Tottenham. We still have a game against Zurich and then we're going to face Stuttgart.
