There Is No crisis At Bayern Munich

 

Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed talk of a crisis at the club ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with PSV Eindhoven. Since a 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid three weeks ago, the Germans have gone three games without a win and have drawn subsequent league fixtures against Cologne and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge Munich chairman, branded the 2-2 draw with Frankfurt unacceptable, despite their two point lead at the top of the Bundesliga, but while he wasn't happy with the result, Ancelotti says crisis comparisons are premature.

The Italian said “I wasn't happy in Frankfurt, I made that clear, but I don't want to punish the players - I just want them to understand. It's too early for the word crisis, which I am now hearing, we haven't won our last three games, but we still played well. We aren't magicians and we will have a different attitude against Eindhoven.”

Rummenigge has made it clear that he expects a significantly improved performance at the Allianz Arena tomorrow, in order to break the Bavarian giants' run that saw their last victory come on 24 September - a 1-0 away win over Hamburg.
