Nothing could be worse than conceiving almost a crushing defeat as it happened with Werder Bremen who lost their last Bundesliga match to Bayern Munich by a huge margin of 6-1. The game was thoroughly one sided, perhaps it was looking like Bayern were playing with an amateur junior team. Bayern score machine start working from the 25th minute when Arjen Robben opened the counting for them, and in few minutes, Javi Martinez added another goal to take their lead to 2-0. By now, no one had imagined it would not the end of a nightmare for Weserstadion club coz Gomez again fired a goal in the 51st minute. He added one more goal to his tally in the last moments of the game. By now, Bremen has almost lost any hope and a red card to its Sebastian Prodl and one own goal by defender Theo Gebre added more salt to their wounds. Kevin de Bruyne offered some resistance by leveling one goal but lead was too much to catch by any team – practically. With this win, Bayern has a clear lead of 18 points from Borussia Dortmund. Jupp Heynckes, the much talked about manager in recent times, has now participated in his 1000th Bundesliga game as a manager cum player.
Bayern won their sixth straight win in the league taking them closer to the title finish while Bremen sustained their second consecutive loss steadying them with 28 points. Actually, Bayern Munich has shown a much improvement in recent times; especially after their exit from Champions Leagues. In the current season, when they defeated Arsenal by 3-1, it was like a fluke, but they proved it wrong and continued their march all the way and readied to play in their fourth final in past four years. Bayern’s power play made them one of the most promising teams within Bundesliga and beyond, perhaps its manager is already being linked with several big clubs for his expected makeshift. It was Heynckes plan to make six changes in the last winning squad that defeated Arsenal in the Champions League.
Heynckes doesn’t want to lose his mind by this over welcoming win, he said after the match, “We want to keep our rhythm, to continue on our way and not let ourselves be sidetracked by premature praise. Our premise is to play better and more successfully.” Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also added, “We want to be German champions, that was the stated aim. That’s the most important title. We’re on the right path.”
