FC Bayern: Lewandowski or Benzema? So Upamecano would be at the world footballer

On Wednesday evening (21:00 clock), FC Bayern is guests in the Champions League near Benfica. Away from the athletic starting point, Weschehrmann Dayot UPamecano spoke about the world footballer choice.

Robert Lewandowski or Karim Benzema? Had Upamecano itself the choice - he could not decide. That s a good question, the 22-year-old in the press conference in front of Königsklassen game at Benfica.

Finally, he knows both attackers personally: With Lewandowski he plays at FC Bayern, with Benzema in the French national team. They are the best and show them every year, Upamecano explained his indecision. Both would earn such a distinction, he would be happy for both.

FC Bayern too good for the competition? There are no small teams

In addition to the debate about this year s World Footballer, the defender also looked at the upcoming match in Portugal: There are no small teams in the Champions League, we have to make an effort if we want to get three points. The Munich must renounce Alphonso Davies and Leon Goretzka.

Not only since the Furiosen 5: 1 victory in the Bundesliga top game against Bayer Leverkusen, FC Bayern is one of the most shaped clubs in Europe. Why should not we win the Champions League? Upamecano ordered the Munich title chances. Finally, it is exactly what all players are seeking.

He himself wants to contribute his part in the defense center. I hate to collect goals. It s my job that we get no goals, explained the Frenchman. Against Benfica is the top praise to keep the zero.

UPamecano accompanied the PK in the live blog. There are all important statements for reading.

+++ That was +++

All questions are answered, FC Bayern says in the plane to Portugal.

+++ What does Bayern defense have to be the most watching? +++

It s an experienced team as the coach said. You want the three points as well as we get. Benfica has always been a good team, we want to keep you in the table at a distance.

+++ Is Upamecano really so nice? +++

What should I say - I was very well educated. I have much respect for people who respect me. Respect is always two-sided. Also, I love my family.

+++ Can the FCB win the Champions League? +++

The mood is good. Why should not we win the Champions League? We all want.

+++ Upamecano about differences between Munich and Leipzig +++

Bayern has more experience, more titles. Leipzig has good talents and players with great development potential. I see that as the biggest difference.

+++ Upamecano about his game in the Defense Center +++

I love the zero-play, I m defender. I hate to collect goals. It s my job that we get no goals.

+++ How imported is Bayern defense? +++

The whole team plays an important role. At the moment almost all players are available. Even if we rotate, that will not be a problem.

+++ World footballer award for Lewandowski? +++

Very good question! Lewandowski or Benzema - both earn such a distinction. They are the best and show them every year. I would be happy for both.

+++ Is the FC Bayern too strong for the competition? +++

No, it s never boring. There are only big teams in the Champions League, so our victory is never sure. We have to make an effort if we want to get three points. Also in the Bundesliga, the teams are very strong, too How not stop fighting.

+++ How was Upamecanos Start in Munich? +++

I feel very comfortable in the team. Here there is a good mood and I have been well received.

+++ First part of the PK stops +++

All questions to Julian Nagelsmann are set, in a few moments it goes on with Dayot Upamecano.

+++ Nagelsmann again via Benfica +++

Benfica has five, six new entries. Also then Rafa Silva was already there, now they have with Seferovic a large target player in front. They will not put themselves in the back, but also put themselves to place themselves.

+++ Who plays instead of Goretzka? +++

I have a very offensive option in the head, we will see. Sabitzer also played as a six in Leipzig, he can, he is an option.

+++ What do Nagelsmann likes Benfica coach Jorge Jesus? +++

Most likes that he always wants to play with the ball. He always goes with the coaching zone and has really pepper in the butt. I know a bit as he ticks and how he enthuses his team.

+++ Nagelsmann over Slee +++

Niklas has an offensive crowd and also shows that as an outer defender. He is no option for the outer car, we need him in the middle. He also played it very successfully this season.

+++ Nagelsmann via UPAMECANO +++

It always looks a bit angry when looking at him, but he s exactly the opposite of it. He is a great man who has not crashed a fly on the wall in his life. He has an incredible defender gene and Also makes progress in the construction. He takes a drive again and again, but he gets it from me.

+++ Does Benfica fear of Bayern? +++

I do not think a team in the Champions League fear. Respectly, but we have on the other side. Benfica plays at home, where they will not be fooled there.

+++ Nagelsmann via Pavard and the staff +++

It s always good if players have their own opinion, he may like to express that. It is relatively no matter what position Benjamin plays when he is to rise in the world class. That you have not asked for the staff after five questions , gives a minus entry in the class book for all involved. Leon Goretzka is cold and falls out. Also at Alphonso Davies is not enough, we have to pay attention to his health. That s why Pavard will probably start on the defensive wing tomorrow.

+++ Memories of Lisbon +++

It s certainly something special for FC Bayern, it was a bit historical. I still remember our crappy semi-final with RB Leipzig, but it was a great success to get there. We want to leave the ground Lisbon with three points.

+++ Nagelsmann About Hernández +++

I do not find any abnormalities. He is positive, has trained well. I can only look at the outside and will not know my opinion, because it does not matter to me. Lucas can do that very well, I m sure that I am sure that He plays good morning.

+++ Is the FC Bayern too strong for the Bundesliga? +++

I ve always tried to beat Bayern, now I stand on the other side. As a Bayern coach, I find it a bit easier for me to talk about it. FC Bayern always comes a bit bad, if you have the stress sheet The league speaks. Ten times in a row Master you have to be first. I can imagine that there is another champion in the next ten years. Should I be ten years of coach here, of course, I do not hope that.

+++ What expects Nagelsmann from Benfica? +++

There are always increasing possibilities. We would all be satisfied if we hold the level of minutes seven to 45 from Leverkusen. Benfica is a very good Portuguese team, with some key players. They have a very experienced coach who delight the club and fans Can. Last season, you have switched to a triple bread, but the whole system is very variable. We can not predict exactly how Benfica plays, but it is not our main focus.

+++ The same is going on +++

In a few minutes Julian Nagelsmann and Dayot Upamecano are expected in the pressing room.

+++ Close training without Goretzka and Davies +++

In the morning, the record champion met the final training before the meeting with Benfica. Not there Leon Goretzka and Alphonso Davies were. The Canadian had to be replaced at the 5-1 victory against Leverkusen already beaten in the first half. According to information from picture he is not available because of these thigh problems in the premier class. Why Goretzka lacked in training, meanwhile (yet) is unknown.

+++ FC Bayern Favorite against Benfica +++

After the first mandatory defeat under Julian Nagelsmann (1: 2 against Eintracht Frankfurt), FC Bayern revealed itself impressively. In the Bundesliga top game, the record champion Bayer Leverkusen with 5: 1, met four times within seven minutes in the first half.

A similar service should also wish Nagelsmann against the Portuguese representative Benfica. Especially since the Munichner goes as a clear favorite in the king class game. Previously, the FCB had already made FC Barcelona (3: 0) and Dynamo Kiev (5: 0).

+++ What happens in the Causa Hernández? +++

It is the topic that the Bavarians of these days may be busy the most. Does the former 80-million-euro new entry of Lucas Hernández actually have to go to prison? The Frenchman already appeared in court in Madrid yesterday in Madrid \ - a day earlier than planned. Thus, the judiciary opposes the Munich professional, which can take the journey to Portugal. As it continues, it is still open.
