Freund: Kvaratskhelia's Brother Had Trial with Club; Champions League Exit Won't Change Squad Plans

May 10, 0:30 am, Bundesliga Round 33, Bayern will play against Wolfsburg away. Before the match, Bayern sporting director Freund attended the press conference.

Did the club communicate with UEFA about the referee's decisions in the match against PSG after the match, or has this matter been turned over?

"Two nights later, the disappointment is still strong. We were in good shape at the time and firmly believed that we could win the game. But competitive sports require the right time, place, and people, and it is often the details that determine the final result. There has been a lot of controversy in the outside world about the referee's decisions in this game, and there has been a lot of discussion on social media. In fact, the ideal situation is that everyone does not have to dwell on many penalties, but simply discuss football itself."

"It is obvious that many penalties were against us, but it is meaningless to argue about these now. We have always maintained regular communication with UEFA. The common goal of the club and UEFA should be to focus everyone on the football match itself, rather than the referee's decisions. It is a pity that this could not be done in Wednesday's match."

Talking about rumors about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's brother

"I can confirm that his brother did come to the club, participated in training here, and played in a trial match. He is a very talented young player, and we will wait and see how he develops."

Talking about the team's squad planning and whether the Champions League exit will change the introduction strategy

"The situation and competitive conditions before the match against PSG were very favorable, and the final victory or defeat was only a matter of detail. The game did not go as we wished, but overall, we performed exceptionally well this season, played very entertaining football, and remained in a stable state. Even though Wednesday's defeat was difficult to let go of, the team's overall performance is still commendable. We are always discussing how to strengthen the lineup and in what areas we can improve the team's strength. This is a very complex overall plan and will never be easily changed due to a single game."

"We will hold another meeting to discuss how to make the team stronger. We are generally satisfied with the existing lineup, but we still hope to continue to improve in detail. The match against PSG will not change our established team-building ideas. Our current goal is to bring the second championship trophy of the season back to Munich."

You said earlier that the team's squad planning will only be adjusted in small details. Does this mean that only substitute rotation players will be introduced? Or is it also possible to introduce strong players with starting strength?

"Nothing has been finalized yet, and related matters are still under discussion. But we will adhere to the team-building principles we have adhered to this season: the team's lineup should not be too bloated, and we will continue to adhere to this. Our existing lineup is already very good, and we only need to make accurate and reasonable introduction decisions next."
