Flick To Break Pep's Bayern Bundesliga Point Record

Bayern Munich treble-winning coach Hansi Flick can join Pep Guardiola as the quickest to claim 100 Bundesliga league points with the European champions as they face Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday night.

Victory at Borussia Park would leave Flick on 100 points from 39 league matches, equalling Guardiola who became the first Bundesliga coach to reach the milestone with 101 points from his first 39 games in charge of Bayern.

A bigger concern to Flick is Bayern's habit of conceding the opening goal in their last eight league games, fighting back each time for five wins and three draws.

"I don't like falling behind - we need a different attitude from the start," Flick admitted in his press conference.

He wants to see "a different dynamic, more intensity, more conviction" because Bayern "can't just let the opponent run and then hope" goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will make a save.

The Bundesliga leaders have conceded 21 goals in 14 league games this season - more than any other top six clubs.

The tally is not to Flick's liking, but Moenchengladbach coach Marco Rose sees chances for his side, who have won two of the last four meetings with Bayern.

"Bayern likes to defend very high because it helps them up front," said Rose.

"That creates changes in other spaces to hit the opponent (on the break). It's an open secret."

Flick pulled Joshua Kimmich out of midfield at halftime against Mainz to shore up the defense, which turned the game for Bayern.

Kimmich is set to face Gladbach back in the defensive midfield with Niklas Suele expected to take his place at right-back.
