Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl praise the team’s intensity and center-backs after the club’s 1-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League.
For Eberl, it was a “must win” game.
“Those were three important points. We needed them today. It was a complicated game. Benfica didn’t want to play football with us. They only wanted to defend and they did that with great structure. However, we kept the pressure on. Once more we didn’t give any chances away, and we were rewarded. 1-0 wins are the best ones. We never said we don’t learn from mistakes and past games,” said Eberl (via FCBayern.com). “On the contrary, we observe everything with great scrutiny. You simply can’t show this incredible intensity every three days. However, the game control and the dominance we’re consistently showing with two central defenders in outstanding form in the past days and weeks, that really is very good.”
Eberl has been overtly positive after just about every Bayern Munich game — and most of the time, his pragmatic feelings have been on-point. Still, the Bavarians have more dangerous tests on the horizon and the team will get a chance to prove that Eberl’s belief has been warranted.
