FC Bayern, News: Oliver Kahn calls for an increase in performance
After the 1-0 win at SC Freiburg, CEO Oliver Kahn called for FC Bayern Munich to improve their performance in view of the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Manchester City on Tuesday.
“The attitude was right, with a more consistent exploitation of chances, the victory could have been even clearer,” he wrote on Twitter: “Now we’re looking forward to the quarter-finals in the Champions League. But against Manchester City we’ll have to go a step further. “
Bayern had already missed the best chance in the last few encounters and that was one of the reasons why they were eliminated from the DFB Cup. City, on the other hand, is in outstanding form. On Saturday, the Skyblues won an impressive 4-1 against FC Southampton.

Robben added with a laugh: “No, joking aside, that’s no longer possible.”
Robben remembered a duel with the Skyblues in particular: the 3-1 away win in 2013. “That was an absolutely top game from us. In general, the atmosphere in England with the fans is nice. Playing there is always something special”, he said.
Robben also spoke about his former coach Pep Guardiola. “He’s very good at setting up his team. I have a lot of respect for his work. No matter where he works, you can see his handwriting,” he said and raved about today’s city coach: “The three years were with him special for me. I had a lot of great coaches, but from a football point of view he was the best.”
