Munich (dpa) - Wrapped up warm with a thick blanket on his lap, Joachim Löw, protected with an FFP mask, experienced two of his rejected world champions in leading roles.
His long-time assistant Hansi Flick was satisfied with the goals of Thomas Müller and Jérôme Boateng in the 4: 1 (2: 1) of their FC Bayern against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim during the national coach visit.
“I don't want to lean out of the window that far and say that was planned.
We're just delighted that Jérôme scored again after a long time, ”said the smiling Bayern coach.
"Thomas has met several times in the last few weeks and has kept his form."
Only Löw knows whether the next strong Müller appearance and the first Boateng goal in three years will affect the pair's EM chances.
"There is nothing to say - now!" Said the national coach at the explosive Müller personnel.
The national coach in the "Bild" was more willing to provide information with Bavaria's super teen Jamal Musiala (17), whom he could see in action for at least 20 minutes and would like to win for the German national team.

“He's an exceptionally great talent, absolutely.
He has a special esteem in Germany and Bavaria », said Löw about the Musiala once used for Germany's U16 and now for England's U21.
“I think he knows one way or another that I want to nominate him.
The decision is up to him, ”explained Löw before getting into his company car.
The decisions about Müller (100 internationals), Boateng (76) and Dortmund's Mats Hummels (70), on the other hand, are with Löw.
Müller grinned when asked about the extra motivation by the celebrity viewer.
"The last games were also quite good and I think the national coach wasn't in the stadium either," he replied.
Laughing, Müller stepped into the stadium catacombs at the side of DFB captain Manuel Neuer and pointed briefly in the direction of the grandstand - where Löw had sat during the game.
After Müller's completed Olympic plans became public this week, the EM topic is more present than ever.
Since Müller's DFB-Aus about two years ago, good appearances have been a permanent commercial.
Especially when the national team goes down, as they did in the last 6-0 draw against Spain.
In their clubs Müller and Hummels are set beyond the end of the season.
Boateng advertised in the speculations about the commitment of Leipzig's defense chief Dayot Upamecano to an extension of the contract that expires in the summer.
"We'll wait to see how the season goes," said Flick.

The nomination questions of his former superior Löw for the EM in the summer do not concern Flick.
The focus is on the gradual return of Munich to triple form after a short period of weakness with defeats in Gladbach and the cup in Kiel.
“We wanted to get back on track, that's what makes a great team.
She's shown she can do it, ”said Flick.
Boateng (32nd minute), Müller (43rd), Robert Lewandowski (57th) with his 24th goal of the season and Serge Gnabry (64th) after eleven league games without a hit set highlights in the front.
Backwards, Bayern worked loudly and improved despite their continued vulnerabilities.
“We recently showed a more stable defense and scored the goals at the front.
That's a good signal, ”said Neuer.
The 34-year-old couldn't prevent Andrej Kramaric's goal.
The lack of understanding of the new tattoo of the world champion Corentin Tolisso, who was fined for violating Corona regulations, faded into the background due to the revenge for the 1: 4 in the first leg.
And the speculations about alleged tensions between Flick and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic were not an issue in view of the return to more dominant football.

For Salihamidzic, the relationship is “completely normal”, Flick pointed out the main goal.
“We both want to make the team as successful as possible.
Of course, we have different discussions every now and then, that's part of it, ”said Flick.
A good week before the Club World Cup, Bayern are back on track.
