Klinsmann: So Far So Good <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bayern Munich trainer Jürgen Klinsmann has revealed that he is pleased with the progress his side have made during pre-season so far and revealing that his plans are on schedule. Speaking after their mid-week defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the T-Home Super Cup, Klinsmann told the club’s official website that things were progressing well and that his first three weeks in charge had been extremely positive. “We're right on schedule, the players are coping very well and they're all very committed” he admitted. “We've also had our last few Euro 2008 players back with us for about a week. They're just beginning to work on their fitness and get back into the rhythm. “The players who've been here since we started on 30 June obviously have an advantage in this respect, and we saw that against Dortmund. In our remaining friendlies - Dortmund, Köln, Tokyo and Inter Milan – we're up against opponents with a certain degree of quality. “After playing these teams, we'll have a much better idea of where we stand, and it'll indicate to each individual player where he needs to improve. The team is growing and coming on with every passing week” he added. The Bayern trainer also played down the significance of their Super Cup loss to Jürgen Klopp’s Dortmund on Wednesday. “The result tells us nothing. Obviously we'd rather have won, but we used the match to try a few things out. For example, we wanted to see how Tim Borowski fitted into the team, how we moved as a unit, how well the players communicated during the match – lots of small but vital elements. “We also tried out two distinct formations, 4-4-2 with a midfield diamond in the first half, and 3-5-2 with a man in the hole behind the front two in the second. We told the team what we were doing beforehand and they dealt with it relatively well” he concluded.</div> Jürgen is a great coach.
