Thomas Müller: We didn't take enough risks

Although already through to the Champions League last 16, the FC Bayern camp were disappointed not to win at home to Copenhagen on Wednesday. "We're not satisfied with the game. Particularly as an attacking player, I'm angry we failed to score a goal,” commented Thomas Müller after the goalless draw at the Allianz Arena. Head coach Thomas Tuchel was also dissatisfied: "We've played better. There have been more entertaining games." fcbayern.com rounds up the rest of the reaction...

Reaction to the Copenhagen draw

Thomas Tuchel: "We've played better. There have been more entertaining games. It was difficult for us to inject pace into the game. But better today than on another day. Copenhagen defended deep and in the end, that's what the game looked like. There was no fluidity, it wasn't risky enough. We just have to tick this one off. Given the circumstances, I expected us to play more freely, but it was quite the opposite. We tried to manage the game too early and didn't put quite enough effort in.”

Manuel Neuer: "We have to accept the game as it was. The coach warned us we wouldn't have a lot of space and that’s how it played out today. They were very well-positioned and defended well. They were also secure in possession, particularly in the first half. We weren't quite active enough. If we had kept attacking them, kept running deep to hurt them, and chipped the ball behind the back-line more, it would have been more dangerous for them."

Thomas Müller: "We're not satisfied with the game. Particularly as an attacking player, I'm angry we failed to score a goal. We didn't take enough risks. We could have scored in the first half. We created several decent situations, but it's not that easy against such a deep block. You're never running towards goal on your own because the opponents are defending with everything they've got. Copenhagen are good at that. They're not an offensive team, but you can't take an opponent like that apart by playing the ball from A to B, to C to D. You have to risk losing the ball occasionally or take a 50-50 chance and win the second ball. We weren't willing to take enough risks."
