Josep Guardiola, the head coach of “Bayern Munich” spoke about the victory he celebrated in the UEFA Super Cup match with London “Chelsea”.
“First of all, I would like to thank Jupp Heynckes, who gave me the opportunity to be here tonight. It was his work that enabled us to arrive in Prague. We dedicate this victory to him. It was a fantastic game with overtime and a penalty shootout. Regardless of the outcome, the final was won. We created a lot of chances, we were excellent in attack. The players are to be commended for their character. Now I know for sure why Bayern won every award possible last season. Thanks to the will and character of victory. I am very happy for the boys.
Javi Martinez is one of the most important players in our team. It’s great that Bayern bought his transfer. Not in his best form yet, but he did a great job today. His characteristic features are extraordinary mood and eagerness to fight. He covered the goal line excellently today, and we really need a player like that. Yes, Martinez aggravated the injury at the end, but our medical staff will do everything possible to get him back on his feet quickly.
We were strong. Bayern were good in attack and created many chances. Playing against Chelsea is difficult because they have a lot of experienced players in their team: Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Ramires and Frank Lampard. Each of them has played in a large number of finals, which gives a lot. And the number of scoring chances created by “Bavaria” speaks about our order. We deserved this success,” Guardiola said.
