The Bayern Munich CEO has advised the club not to celebrate if they win the DFB-Pokal final against Borussia Dortmund this weekend.
Bayern Munich chief executive, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has suggested the Munich giants not to start wild celebrations if they win the German Cup final. They will take on reigning German champions Borussia Dortmund in the final on
May 12 in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Berlin-c7536.
The Reds also find themselves in the final of the UEFA Champions League which they are due to play a week later against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at the Allianz Arena. The CEO urged the players not to be complacent against Dortmund and give their
hundred percent in order to give themselves a chance to complete a double this season.
It is also believed that Jupp Heynckes will play most of his second string players in the final keeping in mind the Champions League and especially the suspension of three of the first team players.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luiz-Gustavo-c22844 already suspended for the game against the Blues, Heynckes can hardly afford an injury to any of his other players and therefore could give chance to some of the youngsters in
the squad.
Rummenigge stated that the players are well aware of the situation and smart enough to understand the importance of the Champions League. He mused that the Bavarian giants must focus on preparing for the UCL final irrespective
of the result against the Westfalenstadion outfit in Berlin.
While talking to local sports publication, Bild, the 56-year-old further added: "There will be no club visits and the like. The players know best, it is advisable, after the final, the preparation for the Champions League final
needs to begin."
Rummenigge also shared his own experience in 2010 when his side won the final of the German Cup against Werder Bremen and later went on to lose the final of the Champions League against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan.
The CEO hopes that this situation doesn’t repeat itself and instead wants to see http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929 lifting both the German Cup and the European crown. Bayern will play the Stamford Bridge outfit in the Champions League final on May
19.
