FSV Mainz 05 has achieved what surprise league leaders 1899 Hoffenheim is not two years ago succeeded: The sensational league leaders FC Bayern is not a candidate as a title taken lightly.

“We should take seriously Mainz. You not only win, they play attractive football,” Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge praised in an interview with the ‘tz’. “We need to ensure that we rankommen closer to them. Then I am convinced that we in the second round, rested with the injured players on board, can attack fully.”

Finally, the season go a very long time, so Rummenigge: “Christmas we want to stand there, look promising direction that we can defend the title: with 5 to 6 points behind No. 1 would be the more feasible This must be our goal..” But Bayern would have to catch up in the next 9 games but at least 6 meters.

Brave Rummenigge is not giving up

The hope dies last – this is the moment for Bayern, and especially to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: Despite the disappointing goalless in Hamburg sees the boss of the future of Bayern almost pink.

He was confident that “we are now in motion,” said the 55-year-old and justified his optimism with the strong performance of the 2ndGuard as Anatoly Tymoshchuk, Hamit Altintop and Andreas Ottl.Anyway the team in an excellent physical condition. “Physical fitness, we were finally even better than the HSV, although the did not have to play internationally. And in the near future to return some injured players. The coach then has more alternatives.”

Curse the DFL

Also Karl-Heinz Rummenigge criticized the fixtures. “We had less than 72 hours to play Champions League,” said the Bayern boss. “Since the DFL shows little sensitivity.” He will always be more to the Pro-15.30-friend, he added ironically. “I notice Mr Seifert of the DFL said. Since I sometimes lack understanding. This is very strange.”
