WHAT ALEXANDER ZVEREV SAID
Speaking after his match, the German said, "We had so many great guests today. For me, football legend with Pep Guardiola. When I saw Pep, I got so nervous for a few games there so thanks a lot for coming it's a great privilege, great honour to play."
He added, "And by the way, last thing. Bayern Munich needs a coach man. And if you're tired of football you can coach me on the tennis court any time."
