The Bavarian giants’ head coach has insisted that his side cannot make excuses for not impressing against Schalke over the weekend, but feels that the Royal Blues command some respect.
Bayern Munich team trainer Jupp Heynckes believes that less midweek matches will help the Bavarian outfit, and they will have no reason to not take all three points from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Schalke-04-c39204 on Saturday. On the other hand, he claimed
that Jens Keller’s team also deserve praise after their heroics in the UEFA Champions League.
Der FCB have been in great run of form in the Bundesliga with 16 triumphs out of 20 games, and are placed at the top of the league table. Bayern also lead reigning German champions’ Borussia Dortmund by 12 points who are second
in the rankings.
The former Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao boss stated that his team should be fully prepared for Saturday’s match. This is because German League games do not take place in the middle of the week like in the English Premier League.
English sides usually play both in midweek and on the weekend.
"I think the players will be fully ready for Saturday because there is a difference between English weeks [playing both midweek and at the weekend] and playing only at the weekend, so we are prepared," he was quoted as saying in
an interview.
The former striker further added that Schalke coach Jens Keller has done a good job. However, the Miners are sitting in 6th place and have picked up just four points from their last three fixtures. Furthermore, they
have also faced elimination from the DFB-Pokal.
"They are a good team with good players - Jens Keller should be able to work in peace as he is a young coach who has taken on a difficult http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684,” the former Real Madrid team trainer added.
"The team [Schalke] has played much better than it is being portrayed in the public domain," he finally concluded.
Heynckes suggested that Schalke are a good club with decent players. He also defended them and said the media have criticised the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues unfairly on a number of occasions.
