The Bayern Munich striker has admitted that his side’s impressive 2-1 win over Hannover was crucial to put further pressure on Borussia Dortmund.
The Bavarian giants won their 18th league game of the season as they downed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hannover-96-c39492 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, March 24. Toni Kroos and Mario Gomez scored for the hosts as the Reds piled further pressure on Borussia Dortmund, who sit at the top of the table with 62 points.
Gomez claimed that his side were brilliant throughout the course of 90 minutes and insisted that Bayern deserved to win the game. He admitted that the team started the match well but lost their way for some time in the middle. The striker stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425’ goal in the first-half brought the momentum back for the hosts and it was easy from there on.
“We started well, and although we faded for a time, we were right back in it after Toni Kroos’s goal. At the end of the day, we deserved to win, although Hannover had two good chances at the end,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
However, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 attacker rued missed chances and admitted that the margin of win could have been better if the players had converted the opportunities coming their way. He stressed on the importance of the win and insisted that Bayern still have a slim chance of winning the league title at the end of the season.
Gomez added that his team will have to win all the remaining games in the league to challenge for the honours.
“We didn’t take all the openings on offer to us, which is why it became tight later on. It was a very important win. Everything else doesn’t interest us at the moment. All our matches until the end of the season are finals. These knockout matches make it very appealing,” he concluded.
Jupp Heynckes’ side are now five points behind the Borussians with the latter having won their game against FC Koln. The Bavarians still have to play seven games until the end of the season which includes a fixture against the reigning German champions at the Signal Iduna Park.
