Bayern Munich Prepare for Tough Match Against FC Augsburg
Bayern Munich are gearing up for an away game against FC Augsburg this Saturday, following their hard-fought victory in the DFB Cup match against SV Wehen Wiesbaden. The Bavarian giants secured a narrow 3:2 win, with Harry Kane scoring the winning goal in stoppage time.
Kane's winning goal marked a significant moment for the English striker, who had previously scored 31 consecutive penalties before missing in the DFB Cup match. However, the team's performance was far from perfect, with Bayern Munich struggling with their finishing and conceding two goals in just six minutes.
Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich's coach, described the two goals conceded as a "blackout," but did not call the win a shaky one. He acknowledged that they did not do everything right, but also emphasized that the team must build on the momentum they've built up in pre-season and their 6:0 win against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga opener.
Joshua Kimmich, a national player for Bayern Munich, admitted that the team could have been more dominant in their performance. However, he also noted that they stayed patient during the match, unlike two years ago when they lost to third-tier side 1. FC Saarbrücken in the second round with a late goal.
Christoph Freund, sports director for Bayern Munich, criticized the team for throwing away a 2:0 lead and setting a goal of winning in the match against FC Augsburg. He also highlighted the importance of a good start to the season, with a win against FC Augsburg being a crucial step towards achieving that goal.
Florian Stritzel, goalkeeper for SV Wehen Wiesbaden, saved a penalty from Harry Kane in the DFB Cup match, adding an extra layer of drama to the encounter. Kimmich, however, was quick to point out that unlike in the past, they did not lose their heads at the end and went out, demonstrating a significant improvement in their mental resilience.
As Bayern Munich prepare for their next Bundesliga match on Saturday against Bayer 04 Leverkusen at 17:45, they will be looking to end their ongoing cup drought this season and continue their positive start to the new campaign. With Kompany demanding that the team uses their pre-season form and their 6:0 win against RB Leipzig better, fans can expect a determined and focused Bayern Munich side looking to secure all three points against FC Augsburg.
