After the recent setbacks in the Bundesliga, FC Bayern is trying to play in the Champions League, a return to better times. Against Ajax Amsterdam in the old callousness, and the scoring chances to return.
The Champions League can make way as the structure of competition: This point of view, in Germany it’s probably just the FC Bayern. On Tuesday evening (kick-off 21 GMT, 20:45 clock in the DW live Ticker) received the Munich in the European king’s class the Dutch Team of Ajax Amsterdam. “It’s an important game against Ajax, we could go with a victory very much freer in the next four games,” said Bayern coach Niko Kovac.
Finally, the high-performance engine of the Bayern stuttered clearly audible. A draw against FC Augsburg (1:1) and a defeat at Hertha BSC (0:2) provided a bit of disillusionment in the success-oriented Team. “What we lack at the Moment is that we make the gates. We do not use the variety of opportunities,” says the Coach.
Too many failed attempts
Bayern coach Niko Kovac is disappointed
Actually, the Bayern players gave up 24 shots on the Berlin goal. But currently the offensive forces to Robert Lewandowski – actually a stone-cold enforcer – effectiveness. During the Hertha attacker scored with only six shots with two goals, the record master is empty. Against Augsburg is only one of 16 trials led to a experience of success.
“We need more shots on goal and not always the next man and again the man beside search,” says Kovac. But currently only the Offensive puzzle. With two unusually clumsy interruptions about the otherwise so reliable in Jerome Boateng paved the Berliners on the path to success.
After the game the Bayern saw the defender forced even via social media for his teammates and apologize to the Fans for his transgressions. But also against the FCA Bayern seemed distracted-defense unusual.
Coach Kovac keeps the peace
Kovac tries, meanwhile, rest broadcast. The Bayern Coach sees his team in the lead. Against the Dutch, who are offensively oriented, and with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is a true goalscorer in their ranks, are in need of the people of Munich in a more concentrated power than the last, to leave as a winner in the space. That Ajax want to have a say in the Champions League group of Bayern a word, shows a clear 3:0 against AEK Athens in the first group game.
Kovac sees the match against Amsterdam as a possible starting point for an upward trend in his team. “It will be better. I can guarantee it. If it spins, then it looks different,” said Kovac, with an almost diabolical Smile.
After all, In the Champions League for Bayern so far, according to Plan. At Benfica Lisbon in the first game of the group stage, Bayern won confidently with 2:0.
