After Bochum, Salzburg is waiting
Oliver Kahn spoke to the FC Bayern professionals after the 4-2 defeat in Bochum and called for a clear reaction in the Champions League against RB Salzburg. “I’m assuming that the players know that a first half like the one in Bochum is unacceptable. We fell well short of our potential,” said the Bayern boss on Monday on the sidelines of an advertising event for the corona vaccination in Munich.

“Sometimes there’s something good about being able to play in Salzburg a few days later in order to forget a result like that as quickly as possible,” said the 52-year-old Kahn, looking ahead to the round of 16 first leg this Wednesday (9 p.m /DAZN) at the Austrian champions.

Kahn expects the Bundesliga leaders to deliver again on the international stage. He recalled the similar situation after the end of the DFB Cup at the end of October: “After the 0:5 loss in Gladbach we showed the right reaction and clearly won the next game. And I’m assuming that that will also be the case now.” At that time, two 5-2 draws followed in the Bundesliga and Champions League.
Kahn doesn’t see a mentality problem with the Bayern pros: “If you lose big, the topic of mentality is always quickly brought into play”. But he sees an attitude problem in terms of defensive work: “But I think that not only this season, but in recent seasons, we have been missing a lot defensively in the backward movement and in working against the ball. We concede too many goals.”
FC Bayern far from the defensive record – Kahn demands discipline
After 22 match days, Munich have conceded 25 goals – six less than at the same time last season, but also one more than the current best defense in the league, which FSV Mainz 05 has to show. They are a long way from their own defensive record of only seven goals conceded after 22 games from the treble season 2012/13 – under Jupp Heynckes.

Kahn therefore warned with a view to Salzburg and the desired title win in the “premier class”: “We have to start there, that we have to work with more discipline and more passion against the ball. Otherwise mistakes – and internationally even more so – will be mercilessly punished.”
