Bayern spirit is fine ―Sanches

Renato Sanches says the Bayern Munich squad have held ‘discussions’ about their poor form but there’s no trouble in the dressing room.

Bayern have had a surprisingly difficult start to the season and, after seven Bundesliga games, they sit sixth in the table – four points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund.

Recent defeats against Hertha Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach have raised question marks over new boss Niko Kovac’s tactics, while his desire to rotate his squad have also drawn criticism.

However, Sanches says the spirit in the camp remains strong.

“It’s clear that we always feel pressure,” he said. ‘We always have to do our best and represent the best club in Germany.

“It’s normal that there are discussions. That’s part of the business and no problem at all.”

Sanches has enjoyed more action for Bayern so far this season following a difficult spell on loan at Swansea City last term and he’s hoping to keep himself firmly in the first-team picture with even more time on the pitch his aim.

He added: “Sure, I’d like to play more. We have a lot of internationals in our team and the coach has to rotate. But I would like to have more minutes.”
