Jupp Heynckes has the Bavarians after their hard-fought Bundesliga victory over Stuttgart.
Having recorded a 2-1 win away to Stuttgart, Bayern Munich manager, Jupp Heynckes, was all praise for his side as they remained atop the league table. He opined that the victory was a much needed one, as Munich had been below par for the past two weeks.
Mario Gomez scored goals in either half to cancel out Christian Gentner’s strike inside the opening 10 minutes.
Bayern started the game atop the standings and needed to win in order to stay above their fierce title rivals, Borussia Dortmund.
Having gone behind in just the sixth minute through Gentner, Bayern pressed harder in search of an early equaliser. Gomez levelled the scores on the 13th minute mark as both teams went into the dugout with the scores tied at 1-1.
Last season’s top goal scorer, Gomez, completed his brace 12 minutes after the restart to attain a 2-1 advantage for the Reds. Both teams failed to score afterwards as Bayern notched up an important win to go three points clear at the top.
Bayern manager, Jupp Heynckes, showered praise on his team as they were enthusiastic from the start and recorded a deserved win away from home. He was of the view that the Bavarians were unlucky to go behind early in the piece when the players were still
settling in.
However, he urged his team not to relax as there is a long way to go in the league and the winner is yet to be picked. He added that there are five teams in contention and the gap isn’t big enough for Bayern to relax.
While talking to the club’s official website, the player added:
"There are still 18 games to play. The crucial thing was to come here today and win which you can never take for granted in Stuttgart. Especially towards the end where you could see some of my players began to look drained."
