Preview: Brazilian mission for Pep Guardiola
Bayern Munich will not be able to emulate Barcelona’s record of winning six trophies in one year; the German giants failed in their bid to win the German Super Cup last weekend. New manager Pep Guardiola was left helpless on the touchline as Jurgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund claimed a dramatic 4-2 victory.
Wednesday’s Audi Cup match against Sao Paulo comes at the perfect time for the Spaniard. It is time for Pep to bounce back from the painful loss to Dortmund and find the tactical formula that would work permanently for Thiago Alcantara and company. It is just a friendly but the Brazilians will be thrilled by the idea of defeating the reigning UEFA Champions League winners at the Allianz Arena.
Sao Paulo’s desire to triumph and Guardiola’s urge to bury Bayern Munich’s German Super Cup fiasco should give today’s fixture a feel of competition.
Winning the Audi Cup on home soil appears as a must if the former Barca manager wants to maintain the fans’ trust in him. The winner of the tie will face Milan or Manchester City in the final of this friendly tournament.
