Bayern Munich are under immense pressure to end the trophy drought and are impatient after two consecutive Bundesliga disappointments, according to the manager.
The upcoming season is very crucial for the Bavarian giants as they were second best to Borussia Dortmund both in the league and cup and also lost a penultimate UEFA Champions League final in May to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in a penalty shoot-out.
Last year’s frustrations have cemented themselves on Bayern’s players as they were unable to lift a single title.
Ottmar Hitzfeld claims that Der FCB are stressed and desperately need to perform in the coming campaign to put an end to the trophy wait for the Allianz Arena faithful. The former boss is convinced that Die Roten will end their
League wait after two years as they need to repay the team and their loyal fans.
"The team is under great pressure, they are indebted to the club and the fans,” the 63-year-old said.
The Swiss coach wants the members of Bayern to play for the team and put out their personal glory aside. Dortmund’s dominance over Bayern will be under threat in the new season and the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 manager thinks they will not accomplish
a third consecutive Bundesliga title.
“Selfishness must now be put aside for success. Dortmund has overtaken Bayern but I honestly do not think that they can go a third season without being named champions,” he was quoted as saying in a newspaper.
Hitzfeld stressed that the Die Bayern outfit needs depth in its striking options, although Mario Gomez is a very prolific goal-poacher. The club was unable to achieve success as they lacked another good forward who could come off
the bench and win them matches.
"It takes a strong striker, even on the bench. That was missing last year. But Gomez is ready and will handle it well," he added.
Moreover, winger turned midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374 has been criticised over his ability to handle pressure. The playmaker is expected to deal with his problems and come back to his ferocious form.
"He [Schweinsteiger] will now recover, and return to his former glory,” he noted.
Gomez and Schweinsteiger will be very important for the Bavarians and they will have to shine to exploit Dortmund’s League and DFB-Pokal success.
