拜仁隊長豪言必破兵工廠
拜仁隊長拿姆指出歐聯十六強抽籤結果要面對阿仙奴是上上簽,晉級八強對拜仁來說不是難事。 這支德國傳統勁旅過去三年曾經兩度打入決賽,因此拿姆對球隊充滿信心是可以理解的事。
他在球會官方網頁上說:「這對拜仁來說是個不錯的抽籤結果,只要保持一貫的高水準,我們非常有機會能夠晉級下一圈。」
「阿仙奴是一支我從未對過,也未曾到那兒進行作客比賽的隊伍。我相信兩隊的球員和球迷都非常期待看到高水準的比賽。而且我也很期待見到普度斯基和梅迪薩卡,和國家隊隊友比試是一件特別的事。」
拜仁CEO路明尼加不敢低估對手阿仙奴,但仍對球隊的晉級形勢表示樂觀。
他說:「抽籤結果或會令我們稍稍提高爭冠的機會,但我們不可以因為低估對手而犯錯。阿仙奴在最近幾個月遇上困難時刻,他們的聯賽排名充分反映出這個事實。不過這不代表和他們對賽時會非常輕鬆,我非常期待比賽的來臨。」
Bayern Munich chief Rummenigge warns their tie with Arsenal will not be easy
Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has spoken of the difficulty he believes his side will face in their Champions League second-round tie against Arsenal.
Last year's runners-up Bayern will face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium before the return leg at the Allianz Arena for a place in the last eight.
Rummenigge said of the draw that placed them with Arsenal: "I think we enter this match as the slight favourites, but we can be making the mistake of underestimating them.
"Arsenal have struggled at times in the league over the last few months, which a look upon the standings in the Premier League will tell you. But by no means will this be an easy game for us. I look forward to our game in London and back home in Munich."
Meanwhile, Bayern deputy-chairman Karl Hopfner told Sky Sports of his satisfaction with the draw: "Now we have the first match in the competition (against Arsenal) in the Allianz Arena and we are happy to play against Arsenal. It's a long way to Wembley."
Bayern last faced Arsenal in Europe in 2005, running out as 3-2 aggregate winners. The first leg at The Emirates will be played on 19 February, with the return match at Munich's Allianz Arena on 13 March.
