Bayern Munich Not Quite In “Crisis” Mode - Carlo Ancelotti
The Bavarian titans started the season in fantastic form as per usual, but a 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid prior to the international break has acted as a domino effect for some more poor results.
Ancelotti’s side drew their following game against FC Koln at the Allianz Arena after that defeat in Spain, and they dropped yet more points at the Commerzbank-Arena on Saturday against Eintracht Frankfurt. Two Bundesliga draws on the bounce has not affected Bayern’s place at the top of the table, but they are now just two points above second-placed Koln and RB Leipzig.
Speaking ahead of the clash with PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League later tonight, Ancelotti dismissed claims there was a mini-crisis at the club.
"I wasn't happy in Frankfurt, I made that clear, but I don't want to punish the players - I just want them to understand," Ancelotti told reporters at his press conference.
"It's too early for the word crisis, which I am now hearing, we haven't won our last three games, but we still played well. We aren't magicians and we will have a different attitude against Eindhoven."
Bayern won their first five league games of the season, but their recent form has given the hunting pack behind them some hope that they could potentially stun the country and overtake the Bundesliga titans.
