Berlin (dpa) - Bayern coach Hansi Flick does not want to comment on topics outside of the sporting side.

But questions remain unanswered.

A national player plays a big role in Frankfurt, a youngster demonstrates his great talent in the BVB shirt.

A Berlin professional avoided a penalty, as did a Leipzig man who likes to communicate.

Hansi Flick: A victory in the Bundesliga against Union Berlin and then advancement in the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain are the focus of the 56-year-old.

For the home stretch of the season, Flick has also planned something: His interviews and press conferences should only be about the team, no longer about future debates, disputes or things outside the team.

Then he would ask for the "next question", announced Flick.

Speculations will remain: How will things continue between him and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic - and how with Flick's future.

Amin Younes: Almost landed in Wolfsburg in 2018, then came to Eintracht via a detour in Naples.

Offensive dribbler Younes has made a remarkable rise in Frankfurt in six months and has been part of the national team again since March.

«He's an incredibly important player.

He does things that another player doesn't, ”said coach Adi Hütter, praising the 27-year-old.

A big step towards the Champions League is possible for Frankfurt, with a win the Hessen would move up to one point on the table third Wolfsburg.

Santiago Ascacibar: The decision-making bodies at the DFB were gracious.

Audible on TV, the Argentine last thought of his opponent Nils Schlotterbeck with rather unfriendly words in the Berlin derby.

The control committee announced on Wednesday that it would start an investigation.

On Thursday, the proceedings had already been discontinued.

No “grossly adverse behavior”, Ascacibar (24) can also play against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

"We're all happy," said Hertha coach Pal Dardai: "He's a hard-working player, he's in a good mood, he trains well."

Angeliño: After a six-week injury break, the left-back is back in the RB Leipzig squad.

The Spaniard can't hope for much more, said his grumbling coach Julian Nagelsmann.

“He's going because there is a vacancy in the squad.

If everyone were healthy, he wouldn’t go and prepare for the game against Hoffenheim, ”he clarified.

Reason: Angeliño hardly trained with the team - and still publicly offered himself as a candidate for the starting eleven with an Instagram post.

Much to the displeasure of his coach.

VfB Stuttgart - Borussia Dortmund (6.30 p.m. / Sky)

Ansgar Knauff: The 19-year-old should follow the famous starting eleven debut in the Champions League with many more good games in the BVB dress.

"With this commitment, he has definitely earned the chance of further appearances," said Dortmund coach Edin Terzic after the European Cup match at Manchester City (1: 2).

Born in Göttingen, the offensive player found his way into the youth department of Borussia in 2016, where the talent was also recommended for higher tasks due to his speed.

According to sporting director Michael Zorc, Knauff, who played in the BVB regional league squad many times this season, should become a "real, full-fledged member" of the professionals.

Knauff was battered after the game in Manchester, but Terzic was confident that the attacker could be there.
