"Even FC Köln coach Lukas Kwasniok can see the uphill battle ahead of his team. "I looked for weaknesses, but didn't find any," Kwasniok said (as captured by Tz). "They can run a lot, run intensely, they are extremely fast in both directions, they can press high, but also defend the goal passionately when necessary. "I'm most looking forward to meeting Vincent Kompany. He's a very likeable person and a very good coach. He's shaped Bayern into a unit. That's what sets them apart."
"While not necessarily formidable so far this season, FC Köln has been plucky and has the potential to push Bayern Munich hard with a few breaks. Or...maybe there is a weakness to be found? If so, we will find out soon. Bayern Munich has a renewed emphasis on winning the DFB-Pokal and will look to take the next step on the road at RheinEnergieSTADION."
"Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany could have some tough decisions with his lineup. Should he rest key players or is this game too important against a dangerous enough opponent to take a risk? We will talk about all of that and more on the latest edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works - Preview Show. This is what we have on tap:"
FC Köln will host Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal at RheinEnergieSTADION, but home advantage appears limited. Coach Lukas Kwasniok said he could not find weaknesses, praising Bayern's speed, intensity, pressing and ability to defend passionately. Kwasniok highlighted Vincent Kompany's personable nature and his role shaping Bayern into a cohesive unit. FC Köln has shown pluck this season and could threaten with a few breaks, but Bayern are focused on winning the cup. Kompany faces selection dilemmas over resting key players versus fielding strength against a dangerous opponent. The Bavarian Podcast Works preview will examine Köln's threats, Bayern injuries, a probable XI and a match prediction.
