His mobile phone did not stand still after the victory. Wenzierl said at Bayern 1: “The news was plentiful and positive, I was very happy! It was exciting!” The reaction of his team was equally cheerful: “Everyone was relaxed and happy. Beating Bayern Munich – this does not happen often in a footballer’s life.”
Weinzerl’s third victory over Bavaria
Weinzierl achieved this for the third time with FC Augsburg. The 46-year-old appears to have found a recipe for success against the record champions: Weinzerl sees “a lot of fighting strength and will” as the most important factor. “Of course, it’s a bit of luck, too.” “The team fought back from the start and then, with a good system, took the lead over time,” he continues.
Augsburg climbs
Augsburg can use the three “bonus points”. After the best performance of the season, the Swabians left the relegation position and improved to 15th. “It should go like this for five games until Christmas,” Weinzierl demands. “We have to keep scoring and improving, especially away from home.” Because in a foreign country, FC Augsburg has yet to win this season.
Weinzierl sees in his team much greater potential than has been shown so far: “We have ambitions and a good team.” From the basement of the table, the Augsburgers want to reach a safe midfield very quickly.
