Kahn: Arturo Vidal can not adapt to Bayern Munich’s intricate passing style

The Dutchman then came on to resolve matters and extend Wolfsburg’s unbeaten start to the season with a result which keeps them four points behind league leaders Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich will remain without Arjen Robben (Abductor Injury), Mehdi Benatia (Thigh), Jan Kirchhoff (Achilles surgery), Holger Badstuber (Thigh), and Franck Ribery (Periostitis). There might not be much star quality on show, but coming from behind to beat Bayern in the Super Cup has done wonders for confidence ahead of the first league meeting of the teams.

“I’ve always said that we can compete on a good day with Bayern, but that takes courage and determination”, said Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking at Monday’s press conference.

Fresh off of taking a load of trash talk from Beckenbauer, Chilean national Arturo Vidal decided to shut everyone the f*** up with a stunning first goal for his new club Bayern Munich-sent in from the top of the D. One touch to settle.

The hosts were looking very threatening and Konstantin Rausch also tested Neuer two minutes later, before Costa also had an effort well saved a few moments later. “Our approach to the game was excellent”, said Guardiola.

Dost was left angry after being substituted during Wolfsburg’s 1-0 vic CSKA Moscow in the Champions League and, according to Hecking, has behaving poorly at training ever since.

Mainz are up to sixth after Friday’s 3-0 win at home to Hoffenheim with midfielder Yunus Malli claiming a hat-trick to leave the attacking midfielder with five goals in five games.

For the first time in Bundesliga history, the top-two sides – Bayern and Dortmund – have won their first five games this season, while Mönchengladbach and Stuttgart are winless at the bottom. Wolfsburg might need an early goal here to settle themselves but the way Bayern play and the pace which Wolfsburg can counter at, that wouldn’t be a huge surprise.

However, having won every competitive match since the Supercup, Bayern enter Tuesday’s match in great form and will be regarded as clear favorites.
