Hannover will have opportunity to play against the greatest team of the Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon and coach Andreas Bergmann said that his team is not scared before this duel. He can count on Mike Hanke for this match although the striker is not yet fully fit. Also, Sofian Chaed is available again after his “swine flu” infection. The majority of the 49.000 tickets are sold-out and home team would have good support from the fans. In their last match, they lost against Schalke 2:0 although they have played well and that was their first defeat in the last month. Konan and Stajner are only available strikers and this time they will be the main treat for opponents goalkeeper again. In defensive line Vinicius is out and that is important missing. Cherundolo (after a problem hamstring) is fit again and that means Pinto will advance from the right back position back into midfield. Enke’s death has been terrible blow and disaster for the team. He was really great goalkeeper and team will not overcome that easy for sure.
Winning is only solution
Before fourteenth match day, the gap between league leaders Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is six points. There are four more games before winter break and after they missed to win in previous round, this has become “must win” situation. Although Arjen Robben has started with trainings with dribbling and sprint exercises he will not be ready for this duel. Also Franck Ribery could come back to the squad before the CL game against Juventus so he is out for this game too. But these two important players are not only one. Hamit Altintop and Mirsolav Klose are injured too. "We have many injured players, but that cannot be changed and should be no excuse," said Van Gaal. But Ivica Olic is fully fit again and he scored in the CL game against Haifa. "The victory was a good sign, but we must also win the next games," added Van Gaal. Bayern have gotten new president. Hoeness was elected with 99.3% votes and he said: "We need nothing more than three points in Hanover on Sunday."
Guests desperately need 3 points
In such situation, Bayern’s only target is 3 points. There are 4 games before winter break and their objective is the first position without excuses. Although they have a lot of problems with injuries, there is still quality in the team. Hannover are in bad shape lately and atmosphere is on low level. Bayern also have gotten new president and he wants to start his carrier with 3 points for sure. I believe that Bavarians will not miss good opportunity to improve their position.
