The Bayern Munich manager insists that the team has to improve and get their confidence back, before it gets too late.
The Bavarian giants have lost the plot in the last few games and have dropped to third place on the Bundesliga from being at the top before the winter break. The former German champions also suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of

Heynckes claimed that the side has to show considerable improvement in the future if they have any chances of winning the Bundesliga this season. He insisted that Bayern cannot afford to drop any more points in the remaining games
of the season as Borussia Dortmund have a significant lead at the top of the table.
The manager stated that the team has to be united and have to prove their doubters wrong. He is confident that Bayern will be back to winning ways and stated that the team just needs a boost in confidence.
“The defeat in Basel was a match which drove home to any last doubters that there can be only one direction from now on. Team work is more important than anything else,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Bayer Leverkusen boss added that his side’s performances have been in complete contrast to those before the winter break. He has called for instant improvement and is hopeful that the team will regain its form to end
the season on a rather successful note.
“We're no longer playing the balanced football which came so easily before the winter break. But for that to happen, everyone has to work within the team in a way which returns us to success. We need composure and confidence, and
that'll get us back to the football which comes naturally,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich are currently third on the Bundesliga table with 45 points, four points adrift of leaders, Borussia Dortmund. The side has a tough game at the weekend against Schalke and Heynckes will be targeting all three points
as any setback would mean Dortmund’s lead could be extended to seven points possibly.
