Baumgartner: I have a very good relationship with the coach. We have a great basis of trust. And I don’t think it should be taken for granted that I’m in such contact with him as a young player. I can always tell him if I notice something during training. For example, with tactical elements, or with regard to specific game situations. Of course, the coach decides, but as a player you have a completely different perspective on the pitch. We both know what we have in each other. Mr. Hoeneß trusts me and encourages me. I know that he always counts on me when I’m healthy and fit – and of course I’m performing. This again promotes the already mentioned self-confidence.
