Hansi Flick, the head coach of Bayern Munich, expressed his thoughts on the team's status and players in the press conference before his team's match against Union Berlin. He mentioned the presence of several Bayern players in the German national team roster and spoke about the motivation and enthusiasm of the players to start the new season with Jürgen Klopp.
Strong Motivations of Bayern Players
Flick stated in this meeting: "We are all aware of the plans, and now these plans are being announced. I am happy that many of our players are on this list. Perhaps one or two players will still have motivations to prove their abilities after the World Cup. I can clearly see the high motivation of our players. With Jürgen Klopp's presence, a new season has begun, and our players are undoubtedly excited to start this new era."

Opponent Analysis and Team Readiness
Next, the Bayern Munich coach analyzed his team's upcoming opponent, Union Berlin. He said: "We always talk about the playing style of our opponents. Schalke and Bodo/Glimt approached us with a completely different plan than their usual approach. Typically, teams enter the field with a special scheme against Bayern. A coach must have a proper understanding of the game's flow in any situation. Union has made changes and has hired a very successful coach. His confidence affects his decisions. In any case, we are prepared for the changes that Union may make during the game."
The Future of Younes Oubrik
Flick also spoke about Younes Oubrik's chances of being in the German national team, saying: "You must have plans for the future as well. Anyone who thinks Younes cannot become Germany's number one goalkeeper one day is making a big mistake. He will definitely become Germany's number one at some point. This is a logical and completely correct choice. Younes has the right mindset. Every country should nurture its talents."
Team and Player Status
The Bayern coach explained the condition of the team roster: "Currently, we have all the players available. I must thank the medical team and the fitness staff. Sometimes it is necessary to decide not to include a player in the match roster, but I prefer such a decision to facing injuries. Our goal is to keep all players fit and healthy. I hope they all return to the team without issues after the national team break."
