The SC Freiburg manager is expecting a performance in complete contrast to the 7-0 hammering at Allianz Arena, when the two teams met earlier this season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 continue to struggle at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings table with only 17 points from the 21 games played thus far. However, the displays have been better under new manager, Christian Streich, as the side has
secured four points from the last four games in the league.
The manager admitted that it was a tough time for Freiburg when they suffered the 7-0 setback at Allianz Arena in September last year. He is confident that the players will not have the loss in the back of their minds when they
face the Munich giants this weekend.
Streich insisted that Jupp Heynckes’ side were in some scintillating form back then and were playing some sensational football. He added that Bayern needed a big win to boost their confidence as they had a crucial UEFA Champions
League fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Villarreal-CF-c40899 four days later.
However, the tactician believes that the Bavarians have not been the same since the winter break and that his side can get something from the game.
“It was a very important game for Bayern back then and they desperately needed to win it so that they could go into the Champions League with a good win. They were totally focused and it was definitely a difficult day for us when
you experience something like that as a footballer. But I don't think it has left its mark,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Bayern manager, Jupp Heynckes, admitted that his team will have to be at their best in the clash as the opposition is strong when playing at home. He stated that Bayern will have to make it three games in a row
in the Bundesliga to remain on the heels of Borussia Dortmund.
“We are going to have to be at our very best. Of course Freiburg have weaknesses and it is up to us to exploit them. We want to continue our trend from the last two games,” he concluded.
The clash will take place at the Mage Solar Stadium on Saturday, February 18.
