Thomas Tuchel:
“We knew that after such a tough week with a late mid week game and early kick-off today, we’d feel the difference. The mental and body fitness wasn’t as strong and we made changes on the lineup. We knew Heidenheim were one of the teams that run the most, are disciplined and strong on set pieces - that’s why I’m just happy with the win today”
on the title race: “For us it’s a fight against ourselves and our expectations. We have to focus on ourselves and take our points - nothing else. We want to win, win, win and stay on that mindset. I think the league is wide open this season. Stuttgart are doing well, so are Leipzig, Leverkusen, Dortmund. We don’t speculate on other teams and only focus on ourselves”
on Guerreiro’s comeback: “He’s smart, good on the ball, always has ideas and very precise in what he does. If he stays healthy he’ll help us a lot. It was a great comeback for him. We held him back a bit due to his injury history, but to come back like this and score an important goal is just great”
Christoph Freund:
“The two goals conceded were unnecessary. The team’s reaction after the 2-2 was very, very good. We deserved to win, but it’s annoying that we conceded two goals.”
On Kim’s mistakes: “You can see that he played over 90 minutes every game. Such lack of concentration happens, it’s human”
On Kane: “It’s impressive. It’s the first time he’s been away from England and it’s worked out right from the start. He’s a really good guy, well received in the team and really popular. With his left, with his right, with his head, he just loves to score. The team also plays for him well, he is a phenomenon”
Harry Kane:
“We showed a great reaction after their equalizer. I’m just enjoying playing with the team. My body is used to the strain from the Premier League, but it was a tough week” [@MartinVolkmar]
on Lewy record: “Good question, I’ll probably be asked about that all season. But there’s still a long way to go”
on house-hunting in Munich: “I’m still looking for a house, Hopefully I’ll find one by the winter break. I’m optimistic”
“I love playing with Leroy. We have a very good connection – on and off the pitch. He’s a fantastic player and guy. He’s probably our best player of the season so far and incredibly important for us.”
Thomas Müller:
“The win puts us at the top of the table for now. I hope Leverkusen will start drawing games at some point. We’ll see by Monday. Otherwise we’ll try again on the next match day”
Bouna Sarr:
on how he sees his role at Bayern: “I don’t know. I’m just keeping myself ready for the next chance to play and help the team. I hope I’ll get further minutes” [@linner_nicolas]
Aleksandar Pavlović:
on his starting XI debut: “A great feeling. I’m very proud and grateful. I have to keep going, keep working hard and then whatever comes will come”
On Thomas Müller: “He’s a correct guy. He coaches on the pitch all the time”
Manuel Neuer:
on Pavlović: “He had already done very well in Dortmund. Today he played from the start and I thought he was comfortable and didn’t show any nervousness. He was in the game from the start”
Leroy Sané
on Harry Kane: “I’m enjoying playing with him a lot. He’s very smart and knows how to move. We don’t have to talk about his finishing. He’s good for all of us, including myself”
Bouna Sarr:
on how he sees his role at Bayern: “I don’t know. I’m just keeping myself ready for the next chance to play and help the team. I hope I’ll get further minutes” [@linner_nicolas]
I honestly feel for him, he did his job today
