Gregor Kobel didn’t mince his words when interviewed by pay-TV broadcaster Sky after the clear defeat at home to Bayern Munich. Here is the initial reaction to the game.
Gregor Kobel: “I had the sense that Bayern were more aggressive in the tackles and more dangerous on the counter-attack. We should have been better in defence. Bayern were given too much space. They posed more of a threat and they came out more aggressively at the start of the game. We should have kept a more compact shape early on and looked to hit them on the counter. We have to step up to these challenges. We wanted to deliver a better performance at home in this game. The better team won.”
