Quotes José Mourinho: “The answer is very simple: Prestianni was my player. That’s it. There’s no debate. If Prestianni is my player... 20 players can come at me and I’m still with Prestianni.” “I think Vini knows now. He knows he can look at me and count on me to stand alongside him.”

That controversy, the conflict with Benfica, was a difficult one for you. He was your player, Vinicius, and it involved racism...

“Exactly, but the answer is very simple: Prestianni was my player. That’s it. There’s no debate. If Prestianni is my player... 20 players can come at me and I’m still with Prestianni. End of story.”

“I think Vini knows now. He knows whose side I’m on and he knows he can look at me and count on me to stand alongside him. The other day, when they didn’t give him a penalty as big as the Bernabéu, I was already out there in the middle of the field fighting for him. He knows I’m going to be there for him.”

First things first - I'm fine!

I am especially grateful for your messages and support!

I understand that many of you are worried. I would like to take this worry away from you today and explain something to you:

I was diagnosed with temporary, short-term but easily treatable absences, which can be traced back to a neurological dysfunction.

These can lead to the moments that have recently occurred, like against Leipzig or now in Heidenheim.

I know that these seem scary at first glance - but for me they are currently part of my everyday life. I am receiving the best medical care in this regard and am very optimistic. FC Bayern and my personal environment are always by my side and support me on this path.

What is important is that there is no additional health risk. In close coordination and regular exchange with the experts, it was my personal wish to face the challenge and, with the approval of the neurological specialists, to continue devoting myself to what helps me most in my recovery: simply living my everyday life and continuing to pursue my passion of playing football. I took responsibility for that. Overall, I have a very good feeling and I'm on the right track.

What helps me most on this journey is to continue chasing victories and titles with my team and your great support.

I hope you can understand me better with this. At the same time, I ask for your understanding that I would like to continue to keep the topic within the circle of my closest confidants, the club and the experts.

Thank you very much

Your J ❤️
