The German capital club is determined to keep the floodgates closed against the Munich giants and are hopeful of avoiding relegation at the end of the season.
Hertha Berlin manager, Otto Rehhagel, has revealed his desire to stop Bayern Munich from scoring goals as they prepare to host them at the weekend. The two teams will meet on Saturday, March 17, at the Olympiastadion.
The tactician admitted that the Bavarian giants are in terrific goal scoring form at the moment. He stated that it would be some achievement for the underdogs if they are able to get something from the match.
Rehhagel suggested that his players need to be on their front foot from the word go if they are to stop the Bavarians from scoring heavily. He stressed at the importance of showing courage and character in front of an in-form Bayern
side who are fresh from a 7-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 in the second-leg of the UEFA Champions League knock-out tie.
While talking to a sports website, football411.com, the 73-year-old former Borussia Dortmund manager further added:
"We need to resist them without fear but with courage and conviction. If we move like rabbits caught in the headlights, then we have no chance. If you do have to lose, then you should do so heroically and not let yourself be totally
slaughtered like other teams. That is definitely not what we want."
Bayern have scored a staggering 14 goals in their last two games, seven each against Basel in the Champions League and Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. The capital club are concerned with the current form of Bayern, who are determined
to keep their title chase on by winning their remaining nine games in the competition.
On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Berlin-c7536 are staring relegation and find themselves 16th in the league standings, two points clear of the bottom placed FC Kaiserslautern. The Blue-Whites boss, though, is focusing on the current game
and wants to pass the tough test against Bayern before thinking about the remaining part of this campaign.
It must be remembered that The Old Lady got promoted into the first division after they won the 2.Bundesliga last season.
