‘We want to put on a good show for the crowd’

The restart fixture against Greuther Fürth is just a matter of days away, and you can feel the sense of anticipation at Bayern. Wednesday’s training session at the Säbener Strasse was a case in point: every loose ball was fought over, and no player shirked a tackle. Following the 90-minute workout, Jupp Heynckes checked over a few free-kick routines with a selected group of players.

After the morning session, first-choice centre-back Dante stopped by for a brief chat with fcbayern.de. As the Brazilian confirmed, the dressing room can hardly wait for the first competitive fixture of 2013. However, the defender warned, there are still a few areas still to be fine-tuned in the short time remaining until Saturday.
