While talking to reporters at a press conference, the 48-year-old stated that although Lille have been struggling this season, they will do everything they can in order to win on Tuesday. The coach added that everyone at the club is anxiously looking forward
to the game against the Bundesliga outfit and despite Lille being the underdogs; they will play with confidence on the pitch.
“We are all desperate to play this game, and we will do everything we can to try and win it, even if we know our chances are slim against a team like Bayern.”
Praising the opposing team, Rudi Garcia stated that Bayern Munich are a world class team, who have abundance of European experience under their belt.
“Bayern Munich are not just the group favourites, but also one of the biggest teams in Europe."
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich coach, Jupp Heynckes has praised Lille ahead of the Champions League clash on Tuesday and is expecting a stern test from the hosts. The coach said that despite LOSC's recent bad run of form, LOSC are one of the best sides in France
and are capable of defeating any team in the world on their day.
"Lille are one of the best teams in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, regardless of the league table. They are well organised and have a good club structure. Every one of us at Munich knows what's at stake."
