Freund: I enjoy watching Bayern play now, and I want to end the pharmaceutical company s 37-game unbeaten away record

Tomorrow at 1:30 a.m., Bayern will have a Bundesliga focus match against Bayer Leverkusen at home. In an interview before the game, Bayern sporting director Freund talked about how he now enjoys watching the team play, the upcoming matchup with PSG, and players such as Karl and Ulbicht.

- What impressed him most about Bayern's playing:

Freund: "It's the intensity and the fun the players show on the court together. And the hunger they bring in every game. I think we are currently the team that runs the most in the entire Bundesliga. From this you can see how high intensity they play, especially when they want to do it together. You can also see it in training: they work very focused every day while still being happy. "I think that's the basis of a run like this. It's really fun to watch this team. We're in a good position, but in football, things can change very quickly. If you go into the game with energy and confidence, then the next few games will be different."

- Leverkusen's record of 37 consecutive away defeats in the Bundesliga:

Freund: "This is of course an incredible record, especially on the road. It's no accident anymore, they had a clear plan and they executed it very well. But now is a good time to end it. That's our goal. : To extend our winning streak and end theirs. "

"It's going to be a very high-intensity game because we know how good Leverkusen is in transition. I'm expecting a really high-level football game, but we're very keen to win at home and end their record. "

- Expectations for the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain:

Freund: "Paris plays extremely good football. We had a fierce battle in the Club World Cup and the result was a bit regrettable for us. It will be a top game, no doubt, but our focus now is first and foremost on Leverkusen."

- Urbig's integration into the team:

Freund: "One of the great advantages of this team is that it is not just the starting lineup that matters, but the entire team - including the coaching staff. When new blood joins, you can feel that they have become part of the whole. He is very young and he has been very well accepted."

"He Having played a few games in the spring, it wasn't in the plan, but because of Neuer's injury, he had to step in and it's worked out pretty well. When you see the way Neuer and Ulreich are dealing with him every day, you can see that special energy is building up, and he's giving it back."

- Lennart Karl's performance:

Freund: "When a player so young can play at Bayern, perform well, score goals, and do it in such an amazing way, of course there will be excitement. But the team is united and many teammates are looking after him and talking to him. They tell him to enjoy this period, but also remind him that there will always be other stages. Coming in. I think he looks at it very well."

"He just loves playing and wants to play. It's a beautiful story, but we all know that it's all about hard work and that's the key."

- Possible contract extension for Guerrero:

Freund: "Guerrero's performance has been very good, whether he is playing at left back or as a No. 10. He is just a strong player and we are very aware of his quality. We will talk to him calmly in the coming weeks or months, but there is no final decision yet."

- Should VAR also be used from the second round of the German Cup:

Freund: "I agree with Eberl: I am a supporter of VAR because it makes football fairer. If conditions permit, VAR should also be used in the second round of the German Cup. After using this technology, the game will look different. In my opinion, this is completely reasonable."
