Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer commented on the defeat against Benfica in the Club World Cup (0:1). This was reported by www.euro-football.ru.
Vincent Kompany's team could not respond to the goal scored in the 13th minute. Due to the defeat in the last round of the group stage, the Munich team lost the group leadership to Benfica. According to Neuer, the hot weather did not affect the game result, as both teams played under the same conditions.
The team blames themselves for playing with less intensity in the first half compared to the second. Of course, they missed many opportunities, and the opponent played well.
Now they need to analyze the unsuccessful performance in the first half. However, the game they showed after the break was in true Bayern style, and they need to play exactly like that. In Neuer's opinion, if they maintain that level of effort for all 90 minutes in the next game, success is certain.
In the next stage, Bayern will face Flamengo in the Round of 16. This match will be a significant test for the team, and they will strive to showcase their full strength.
