Pep Guardiola looks ahead to his first Bundesliga match in charge of Bayern Munich on Thursday (8th August) when they open the defence of their title against Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday.
Pep Guardiola, Bayern Munich coach:“The tactic is to play as best as possible, to give confidence to the players to be free, to forget what the trainer said, so just fun, take the ball, play as best as possible, respect your opponent, respect (his counter-attacks), attack (…) close to the area, the talent, the genius. (…) It is difficult to switch from German to English. (…) Have fun, have fun, attack as best as possible, as kind as possible, and when they have the ball, when Borussia have the ball, play altogether, defend altogether, help altogether, help each other, and try to win.”
