Thiago Alcantara is not happy with Bayern Munich’s performance vs RB Leipzig as they were recently held to a 0-0 home draw.
Bayern missed the opportunity to move four points clear of Leipzig at the top of the Bundesliga, even though Hansi Flick’s team were ultimately lucky not to be overtaken by their opponents.
According to Thiago, the entire display was not solid enough for the victory and the team needs to improve.
He added that the energy was lacking from the players and they all failed to assert their control on the game, which cost them badly.
His words, “We didn’t play the game that we had to play. We were playing at home and we have to win all of the games which we play here,”
“We played very well in the first half but then we let it go and didn’t control the game.
“It’s not about attack or defence, it’s about the team and it’s a team game. The energy was not enough to be dominant in the game, we were not in our best mood in the game, that’s why we didn’t enjoy it.
“The good thing is each game depends on us. That’s a good thing. We work a lot to be in the place where we are right now but we have to improve a lot.”
Leipzig goalkeeper Gulacsi also said, “I think today the plan worked really well,”
“We wanted to stay really compact against Bayern – they have such offensive quality, they have scored many goals, so we wanted to stay stable.
“But we also wanted to threaten and to use our speed up front, and in the second half, we could do that. Maybe a draw is a fair result but we played our best game so far here.
“It’s not about the position in the league, it’s more that we had the chance to beat the best team in Germany away from home. It’s a step forward but I think there was more in the game [than a point].”
