The Bavarian outfit’s trainer was not concerned with his side’s nervy cup performance, but stressed that he is delighted with the club’s overall progress this term
Bayern Munich head coach Jupp Heynckes has lavished praise on the Bavarian giants’ great run of form this season, but said that their showings in the 2-0 German Cup victory against FC Augsburg were not impressive. He claimed that
their campaign could not have been better than the current one.

affair. He stated that it was the final game of 2012 and the stars had already moved on to the next year.
"We knew it would be extremely tough. It's the last match of the year. The players have already moved on mentally,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician suggested that Die Roten were less convincing at the start of the match. He admitted that they could not shift the ball from defence to the strikers. However, he further added that the players have played a number
of games this season, so they could afford an off-day.
"We didn't play well in the first half. In particular, our switching from defence to attack malfunctioned. We've had a lot of matches so far this season, and you have to accept you'll have an off day," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hannover-96-c39492 striker added.

slap on the opposition player.
"The red card was the result of provocation, but there's no disputing the decision. FC Bayern players have to brush that kind of thing off,” he finally concluded.
Heynckes conceded that Ribery was provoked by Koo, but said that it was definitely a red card offence. He maintained that his team should not react like that in future matches.
