Bayern Coach Confident Team’s Defence Will Subdue PSG’s Neymar, Mbappe
File photo: Bayern Munich’s head coach Hansi Flick arrives for the German first division Bundesliga football match Bayern Munich v Werder Bremen in Munich on December 14, 2019.Bayern Munich head coach Hansi Flick says he trusts their high line defence and will resist making changes in order to contain fleet-footed Paris Saint Germain forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in Sunday’s Champions League final.
“We’ve always played with a high line and ultimately we’ve got results doing that so we won’t change too much.“What’s important is we can press the opposition when we are in possession and make sure we cover the ground,” he added, should PSG’s forwards breach his defence.However, they nearly came unstuck early in Wednesday’s semi-final against Lyon as the French side found plenty of space to attack behind Bayern’s back four.
“We don’t know the starting eleven, but I think I’m going to play right-back,” said Kimmich, who played in central midfield in the 3-0 win against Lyon. “When they came off the bench, Kingsley and Philippe showed they can strengthen the side,” said Flick.Having won the Bundesliga and lifted the German Cup, Bayern are chasing the treble in Flick’s first season.File photo: Bayern Munich’s German forward Thomas Mueller celebrates with Bayern Munich’s German midfielder Serge Gnabry after scoring a goal during the UEFA Champions League quarter-final football match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich at the Luz stadium in Lisbon on August 14, 2020.
