Bayern have now won their last seven home fixtures in the Bundesliga and their last five matches in all competitions, so Jupp Heynckes was naturally “very pleased“ after the 2-1 victory over Hannover. “All credit to my team! It’s not easy to turn in a performance like that just two and a half days after a game like Wednesday’s,“ the boss said. Visiting coach Mirko Slomka described the home team’s victory as “deserved.”
Reaction to Bayern v Hannover:
Jupp Heynckes: “All credit to my team! It’s not easy to turn in a performance like that just two and a half days after a game like Wednesday’s. I’m very pleased. As we all saw, Hannover aren’t through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League and comfortably in the top third of the table by accident. They were well-organised and hard to play football against. But all in all, it’s a deserved win. My team played very clever football for long spells. You expect to come under pressure at the end when you’ve played 120 minutes in the cup in midweek.“
