The Koln boss is confident that his side can get a result against the Bavarians and wants to continue the club’s unbeaten run at Allianz Arena.
The former FC Copenhagen manager hailed the team’s brilliant performances this season and is hopeful that the first-half of the campaign ends on a high. He admitted that it would be difficult to get a result in Munich with the
class the opposition has shown all season but wants to gamble on his chances.
The Billy Goats are currently placed 10th on the Bundesliga standings table with 21 points from the 16 games played. The club scored a late goal against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 in their recent Bundesliga clash at home to sneak a point.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukas-Podolski-c22896 scored in the dying moments of the match to avoid a defeat at the RheinEnergieStadion.
Solbakken insisted that his side will play for points in Munich. He admitted that the season has been impressive so far considering the dismal start to the campaign and is targeting a good end to the year. He wants the team to
end the first period of the season on a high so that they return with full confidence after the winter break.
“Our aim is to bring the first half of the season to a good conclusion. We have got to believe that we can perform because there are either one or three points at stake in Munich too,” the manager was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician also showered praise on star striker Podolski after the player earned a vital point for the team in the mid-week fixture. He claimed that the German international is better than Mario Gomez, who he labeled as a ‘penalty
area’ striker. He insisted that Podolski scores goals from nowhere and plays a huge part in creating chances for the team, so he has an all-round role.
“Gomez is more of a penalty-area striker whereas Podolski is more of an all-rounder. Podolski creates more goals as well as scoring them,” he concluded.
The Billy Goats will be looking to keep their brilliant record at Allianz-Arena as they are unbeaten in all the matches played at the ground.
