JAKARTA - Sports Director Bayern Munich Hasan Salihamidzic is worried about their performance ahead of clashes with Barcelona on Wednesday, September 14.
Die Roten got unsatisfactory results at the domestic event before hosting the Blaugrana on the second matchday of the European Champions League group stage Allianz Arena.
Julian Nagelsmann's squad got a third draw in a row at the German Bundesliga. Last weekend they played 2-2 with VfB Stuttgart.
"It's not enough. We have to add one way or another. It's too few today. We have to go into second or third gear against Barcelona," Hasan said after the final whistle against Stuttgart.
Munich last recorded a Bundesliga victory on August 21 when they crushed Bochum. This record makes their condition questioned when they met the Blaugrana.
On the other hand, Barcelona have recorded five consecutive wins across competitions. The last time they managed to win 4-0 over Cadiz in La Liga on Saturday last week.
This record gives them confidence in preparing for Germany. In addition, they have a former Bayern player Robert Lewandowski who is getting sharper in attack.
"Lewa [Robert Lewandowski] can take any opportunity to attack. That warned us. Robert won everything with us," said Hasan.
Bayern and Barcelona both bagged the win on the first matchday of last week. Bayern won over Inter Milan, while Barcelona beat Viktoria Plzen.
