The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 boss has admitted that Bayern Munich were too good for his side and has called for improvement.
The O-Fives suffered a 3-1 loss at the hands of the Bavarian giants on Saturday, September 15, at the Allianz Arena. Mario Mandzukic, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ádám-Szalai-c3557 scored
a penalty for the visitors.
The Reds secured their third straight victory of the campaign and are still at the top of the Bundesliga standings table.
Thomas Tuchel admitted that his team was unfortunate to concede the first goal inside the first two minutes of the match. The manager insisted that it was no coming back after that as Bayern Munich are a very strong side.
The tactician praised his side for a good showing in the second-half, but insisted that the visitors certainly deserved the victory. He is satisfied with the result and claimed that this outcome is expected when a team takes on
a team such as Bayern Munich.
“We fell behind unluckily, and very, very early on. That more or less settled the outcome. We showed a lot more courage after the break. On the one hand I’m annoyed, but on the other, it’s what you’d call the normal result when
Mainz meet Bayern,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Bavarian striker Mario Mandzukic expressed his delight on playing a part in his side’s victory. The attacker has been in sensational form this season after switching to Allianz Arena in the summer from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881.
The attacker stated that it was exciting to score a goal after returning from international duty as it is never easy. He is confident that Bayern will continue to put in dominating performances throughout the course of the season.
“I’m really enjoying it at the moment. We didn’t underestimate Mainz, but it’s never easy straight after the international break, because lots of the players have been on the move all over the world,” he concluded.
Bayern Munich face a tough test next week as they take on Schalke at the Veltins-Arena.
