The Borussia Monchengladbach manager hailed his side’s bravura performance against Bayern Munich and admitted that the team secured a crucial win.
The Foals defeated league leaders Bayern Munich in Friday’s Bundesliga clash at Borussia Park. The team secured a comprehensive 3-1 victory over the former German champions to end only one point behind the opposition on the standings table.
Lucien Favre admitted that it was a well deserved victory for his side and that Monchengladbach were tactically perfect in the game. The manager insisted that it was definitely a difficult game as his side was up against arguably the best side in the league but the determination and passion from the team made the win possible.
Borussia Monchengladbach completed the league double over the Bavarian giants after the win last week. They had earlier defeated Jupp Heynckes’ side on the opening day of the season at Allianz Arena.
“We played very well tactically and were very compact. It was difficult for Bayern to find a gap as we defended very well without conceding many fouls. It was important to get three points against Bayern again,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes lamented the loss and was disappointed on losing the three-point advantage over the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Schalke.
The former Bayer Leverkusen manager admitted that it was always going to be difficult for his side to comeback after conceding an early goal and stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrick-Herrmann-c29275’s goal surely ended the chance for the visitors.
“I've said before that Gladbach are a very well organised team who are very good on the counter attack. We played into their hands by going behind early on, but their second goal just before the break was a decisive moment. It was difficult to come back after that,” he concluded.
Borussia Monchengladbach are currently in fourth place behind Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke. The top four teams on the table are separated by only one point and the league title could go down to the wire. The Foals’ next task would be to get the better of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 in an away game.
