According to his own statement, after the 2-0 victory in the Champions League against FC Barcelona, CEO Oliver Kahn addressed the FC Bayern professionals in the dressing room with a clear message.
“We are well advised not to overdo it again, to fall into euphoria. You saw the kind of football we can play in phases. Nevertheless, there are still phases in which we can play better. I said it to the team: a lot The win is worth it if we follow suit now, and catching up means winning in Augsburg,” said Kahn.
Means: The German record champions should now return to the road to success in the Bundesliga. Most recently he had not won three games in a row, against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Union Berlin (each 1-1) and most recently VfB Stuttgart (2-2).
FC Bayern against FC Barcelona with the “little bit of luck”
Against Barca, FC Bayern “had the necessary bit of luck in the first half” – especially because Robert Lewandowski missed several good chances when he returned to his former “living room”.
While Munich are in the premier class after the 2-0 win against Inter Milan on the first matchday and the success against Barca with a snow-white slate, they are currently “only” third in the league.
Union Berlin is sensational at the top of the table, followed by SC Freiburg, no less surprisingly, in second place.
Do the FC Bayern stars listen to the Kahn appeal?
It remains to be seen whether the stars of FC Bayern will follow the appeal of club boss Kahn this time.
“It annoys me when we’re not top of the table. Now we need results,” Kahn had already demanded after the Union game – and hoped in vain for a reaction from the team.
Especially since Augsburg was not a good place for FC Bayern recently. There was a 2-1 defeat there on the 12th matchday of last season. Mads Pedersen (23rd) and André Hahn (35th) scored for the Fuggerstadt team. The guests’ only goal was scored by Lewandowski (38′), who has meanwhile left.
