The Bavarian giants’ head coach issued a warning to his team members that FC Augsburg will pose a significant threat, but strikes from Thomas Muller and Mario Gomez helped them get all three points
Bayern Munich team trainer Jupp Heynckes stressed that FC Augsburg made it difficult for his side to secure the three points in the weekend’s Bavarian derby. Therefore, he was relaxed to extend the lead over second-placed Bayer
04 Leverkusen with a win against their Bavarian neighbours.
The SGL Arena outfit is currently placed at the foot of the table, but still caused a few problems for the league leaders during it's weekend clash, before Thomas Muller scored from the penalty and Mario Gomez netted a second-half
goal after coming on as a substitute.
The manager claimed that before the encounter, he told his side to be wary of Markus Weinzierl’s men as they could trouble them at their home ground. Moreover, the coach proved to be right, as Der FCB were made to work hard in
order to get another league win.
“Before the match, I told my team very clearly it wouldn’t be a stroll," he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician stated the first-half showed that Augsburg came in the match to pose problems for Die Roten. They are wrongfully considered as a weaker team and made the Bayern work hard to secure the three points. The coach suggested
that the hosts were extremely organised until the start of the second-half.

"FC Augsburg were made out to be less capable than they really are. Their organisation was extremely good in the first-half, their pressing was excellent, and we had a few problems getting going as an attacking force,” the former
Real Madrid trainer finally concluded.
Heynckes said that Augsburg pressed them a lot and did not give them an extra yard to make a goalscoring chance, resulting in Bayern getting only a few opportunities.
