- Pep Guardiola, welcome to Germany,
- welcome to us in SAT1.
- How do you experience the recepiton here,
- with many photographers, and the big interest for you?
We're satisfied.
We're in the final. We have
played a good game. And everybody, the arena,
the whole stadium atmosphere here in Germany is,
unbelievable. It's always packed,
and that's good for us.
- Now you answer us in German, that makes me even more happy.
- You've learned German so fast, that
the whole country talks about it,
- Mr. Guardiola.
- You're satisfied with your team today,
- as you've said.
- How satisfied are you with your new superstar,
- with Thiago?
Not only with Thiago.
In the last minutes,
we
played with a high midfield, and..
today the
defense, they,
they've
played very well with the line, with the attackers pressing. And
it's only
an extra part of the pre-season, and we're preparing
for the final against Borussia Dortmund [BVB]. - Clearly.
- But you're facing Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Yes! - Not against BVB, against Borussia Mönchengladach.
- This paper here, I want to show you. It's a bit windy here.
- This you've drawn up for us earlier.
- Is this..
- Here is Tom Starke the goalkeeper though, but, is this possibly a team you'll play with
- in the Bundesliga?
No. - Absolutely not?
- Who's missing?
I don't know which
team I'll be using.
I'll be facing Mönchengladbach in the first round of Bundesliga,
so I don't know.
I'm here. I have to..
to try out all the players in different
positions.
And, but..
I have.. Bayern has given me
an
amazing team. And
they must,
they must be in the squad, playing.
So for me, as a manager
it's.. - Can I,
- can I show you a picture that we've found with the camera
- for exactly 15 years ago?
- Here in front,
- You'll hopefully be able to see it. And it's
- Thiago Alcântara
- Thiago Alcântara
- Do we have the picture? There it is, there we see it!
- Do you recognize these pictures?
- 15 years ago. Yes.
- That's his brother Rafinha. Yeah, we've also had five years together
- Beautiful, isn't it? To see the little Thiago,
- and today he's become such a world class player, that we hopefully will be able to enjoy here in the Bundesliga.
- Mr. Guardiola, just a quick,
- just a quick question:
- The team.
- Many people are always discussing,
- trying to figure out Pep Guardiola's team. What is your view on it?
Well, it's normal. Every manager has his idea,
and I have here. So..
We have to support, support these players,
and protect my
club.
I'm thankful. Very thankful to the club,
the people in the dressing room. Not only
the players. But the other people too.
For me, it's a new experience. I have,
I still have to learn many things.
It's only been
two, three weeks, so.
So I need more time.
But I'm happy,
I'm happy so far, and for this time.
- I'm impressed how good German you speak, I try to embrace it.
- It's so hard, and it's fantastic what you've learned. Ending question in German,
- That you surely can answer me:
- Which year will YOU with be German champion with FC Bayern München?
Oooh. Step by step.
Today, I've said that
Mönchengladbach makes a
good impression. And BVB,
they know.
The last final in the Champions Leauge, and they've won two
Bundesliga titles in the last three years. So
they've got a super manager,
so for me it's good experience
to live
in this country. So I'm hoping for a good time here.
- The Bundesliga is at least a great person richer. Thank you very much, Pep Guardiola.
I wish you best of luck. Muchas gracias,
adios! Buena noche.
