(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 11 – “We made many mistakes in the first leg, they made one: leaving us alive. And for this we have to punish them. To do this it will take a completely different game, to put in much more intensity” . Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann said this on the eve of the return of the Champions League quarter-finals at the Allianz Arena. The young coach said he was confident about the chances of overturning the 1-0 suffered in Spain last week but admitted that “the stakes are high”, knowing that a team exit in the quarter-finals at the hands of a team theoretically weaker would be a failure especially for him.
The captain, Manuel Neuer, relied on the qualities of his team, “character and pride”, explaining that in the first leg we were even more dissatisfied with our performance than with the result. The best news is that we only lost 1-0 “, he added. He will be, as always, one of the strengths of Bayern, who is not going through a very brilliant moment despite a championship, he would be the tenth in a row, practically already won. “Not everyone is at their best right now – he recalled -. But it is normal for this to happen over the course of such a long season. We will have to mobilize some German virtues in this match “, referring to what Neuer had said. In the list of absentees there are the central Niklas Suele, Tolissom Choupo-Moting and Sarr. (ANSA).
