Intro:

Borussia Mönchengladbach boss Lucien Favre discusses the Bundesliga meeting with Bayern Munich on Sunday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (German) Lucien Favre, Borussia Moenchengladbach coach:

"We do of course have a lot of respect for Bayern Munich but we must not be afraid of them. However it's always good for our preparations and concentration levels to have a bit of fear. But we are aware of Bayern's qualities. I watched their last game against Roma. It was a 7-1 win in Rome and Roma are the second best team in Italy. This shows everything. It was too easy for them. They are simply playing brilliant football and we must see this clearly and accept this. But we will prepare for the game and we will see what happens on Sunday."

SOUNDBITE (German) Lucien Favre, Borussia Moenchengladbach coach +++ question: looking at Bayern under Guardiola, do you see similarities back to the time of Cruyff at Barca +++

"You see very clearly at Bayern Munich the philosophy of Barcelona, of Johan Cruyff. That is clear. When you look at the way Bayern plays, they always look to pass the ball. Their players continually create angles to receive a pass. They always plays triangle passes. When Juan Bernat is on the left side, Mario Gotze is inside. And when Gotze is down the line, Bernat or David Alaba are inside, so the players are always changing positions and making runs throughout the game. Bayern play between the lines; they always have. They have improved."
