| Bayern say opponents stifle their attacking flair
Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath said he would like his team to play a more open, attacking style than in the past but feared it would not be possible because so many other teams are committed to spoiling tactics.
"We want to play a more attractive style - the players, the coach and the board all want that," Magath said in an interview published on Wednesday in the Passauer Neue Presse newspaper.
"The wish for a more attractive style is justified but it cannot be achieved because we play against teams that pack their defence and because the pitch conditions, for instance in January and February, do not allow it. No reasonable person can expect Bayern Munich to play a great match under such conditions." |
