Henrichs primed for Bayern test: “We have to be vigilant throughout the entire match”

The RB Leipzig defender feels previous meeting with Bayern cancelling be used to their advantage in the upcoming DFB-Pokal quarter final.

Despite losing their two Bundesliga meetings with Bayern Munich by an aggregate score of 11-1, Benjamin Henrichs is positive ahead of RB Leipzig’s DFB-Pokal clash tomorrow.

“Perhaps we’re a bit better prepared for our opponents this time around. We were very dominant in the first half and saw what we were capable of.

“In the second half, Bayern’s quality became evident. The lesson is that when we create chances as well as we did in the first half, we need to be more clinical in front of goal.

“Bayern have a lot of individual quality and can always bring on fresh legs – we have to be vigilant throughout the entire match.

“We’ve already had two games against Bayern this season that didn’t go as planned for us. We absolutely want to do better on Wednesday,” the full-back told TZ München.

Earlier today, RB Leipzig’s head coach Ole Werner shared a similar sentiment to Henrichs who feels his side have nothing to lose as the underdogs in this cup tie.
