Herbert Hainer on Bayern Munich's big game blues
Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer dismissed critics of Bayern’s big game performance this season.
The Bavarians are leading the league and in position to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, but there are holes in the resume if you look closer. Still, that is not worrying the Bayern bosses at the moment.
“I don’t want to look at it that way,” Hainer said in an interview published December 5 in Tz München (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “We played an excellent game in Dortmund, for example, and now against Leverkusen, just like we did against them in the league, we won 4-0 against Stuttgart and beat Paris. We’ll win a lot more games — even a lot of so-called big games. We also have to save something for the spring, when we’re in the decisive phase of the season.”
That is a fair point — better to hit one’s stride in the spring than peak too early in the fall.
At this point, though, Hainer may have negative results in not big games to worry about too.
