DEFEAT NOT TOO BAD

The Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes has said that the first league defeat of the season for the club during the weekend will not put them off stride. Bayern Munich have made a great start to the Bundesliga season, as they are looking towards winning the first league title after three years. The domination of Borussia Dortmund in the league has been forgotten in the last few days due to the presence of Bayern Munich at the top of the table. So far, they have maintained a 100% start to the new season with victories in all the matches.

However, Jupp Heynckes’ men suffered their first defeat of the season against Bayern Leverkusen. The late goal scored by Bayern Leverkusen was enough to give them a 2-1 win over Bayern Munich. This brought an end to the eight match consecutive winning streak in the league. This has helped Munich open a significant advantage over the other clubs in the Bundesliga. However, this defeat will not be the end of the great run for the club according to the manager Jupp Heynckes. He has said that the players are extremely disappointed, but this result is only a blip in an otherwise perfect performance from the team so far.

“We won’t be thrown out of our stride by the defeat and we’ll learn lessons from it. We still have a comfortable lead in the table. Against a Leverkusen team with excellent counterattacking ability, you have to keep the pace high for 90 minutes but we didn’t do that,” said the manager after the match on the official website of the club. As a result of this defeat, their lead at the top of the table has been cut down to 4 points. They have 24 points from the nine matches played in the campaign so far.
