Hansi #Flick after the game on the performance of the DFB team: "In the first half we didn't have any pace and didn't create any compelling chances to score, instead keeping the ball in our own ranks." [ARD] #POLGER
Flick: "In the second half we created a few chances that the Polish goalkeeper threw out. We are in a process of trying things out. Clearly, without question, we need results. Of course, in the first half, the team wasn't convinced. That's where we have to start."
Flick: "You can't deny the team that they didn't try everything. We're at a stage we're trying to get out of."
Flick on the second half: "We made adjustments that paid off. We put pressure on the left side. We can build on the second half, even if the result against these opponents is not enough today."
Flick on the possible squad for the home Euro 2024: "We still have a year. Start thinking now. It's a long way to get there. We have enough time. I'm very confident about our path. And we'll have a team that works by June next year."

Contrary to popular belief, Füllkrug hasn't emerged from thin air. His 19 goals and eight assists played a crucial role in Werder's promotion back to the Bundesliga last season. 👇
He also kept hometown club Hannover afloat with a career-best single-campaign haul of 14 Bundesliga goals in 2017/18, having previously gained some invaluable experience in Germany's second tier with Nuremberg and Greuther Fürth (a combined 24 goals in 85 games).
🚨 Official: FC Bayern has terminated the contract with U19 boss Danny #Galm. The 37-year-old moves to SV Sandhausen.
Jochen #Sauer: “In the past few years, we have repeatedly handed over campus coaches to professional football. This shows that we are not only a successful talent factory for young players.”
Sauer: “Now Danny had the opportunity to take on his first position in professional football in Sandhausen. We wish him all the best and every success and thank him for his tireless work on campus over the past two years.”
🚨 FC Bayern have signed the young Australian goalkeeper Anthony Pavlešić. The 17-year-old junior national keeper with Croatian roots, who is currently playing at the U17 Asian Championship, comes to the NLZ of the German record champions from the Central Coast Mariners Academy.
There he is scheduled for the upcoming season for the junior squad.
Goalkeeping coordinator Tom Starke: “Anthony completed a two-week trial with us in February and left a lasting impression. We then continued to follow him very closely and decided that the overall package was the right one."
Rudi #Völler on performances and results being brought into discussion: "That's normal and natural because our own European Championship is just around the corner. We have to face up to the criticism. It's logical after the exit from the group stage in the World cup."
Völler on the Colombia game: "We of course want to win it and try a few things out, but at the same time we want to entertain people. It's not a friendly or a qualifier, but rather a game to show the fans that they count on us."
Völler: "We're at the end of a long season, we're tired and we've got heavy legs. We have to find the one or two percent that we lacked in certain areas against Poland."
