With their sights set on reaching the tournament's final for the first time ever, AC Milan will face Bayern Munich in the secon game of the 2015 Audi Cup. The Rossoneri, currently being handled by Sinisa Mihajlovic, will try to give Pep Guardiola more reason to be worried about his team when both sides meet this Tuesday. On the other hand, the Spanish boss will be aiming for a better performance by his team, given that the start of the 2015-2016 Bundesliga season is just around the corner.
After Filippo Inzaghi's sacking, the Rossoneri have tried to re-invent themselves with some quality signings during this summer's course. Strikers Carlos Bacca and Luiz Adriano will be in charge of scoring the team's goals that can bring back the glory days, adding to a better performance by their defense. Mihajlovic, a former Lazio player, has managed to keep two consecutive clean sheets against neighbour Inter Milan and Real Madrid, which builds up their confidence of getting a good result against the German champions.
For Die Roten, this game will give them a chance to redeem themselves after their heart-breaking Super Cup loss against Wolfsburg last Saturday. With just one minute to go on regulation, Nicklas Bendtner scored the game-tying goal, which sent the game to a penalty shootout and saw the Wolves win the first trophy of the season. In what could be Pep Guardiola's last year as Bayern's coach, the former Barcelona coach will try to leave a lasting impression inside the mind of the team's supporters, who are not as happy with him as they were when he arrived, due to consecutive Champions League eliminations.
To try and redeem himself in the European tournament, Guardiola approved the transfer of Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal, who is set to have his second game with the German outfit. Vidal played against Wolfsburg on Saturday evening, and managed to drill his penalty into the back of the Wolves' net, so Guardiola might be thinking about handing the Chilean more minutes, so he can get used to working with his team-mates on the pitch.It will also be interesting to watch Arjen Robben, who just completed his first game with the Bavarians last Saturday, and will try to keep a healthy body, given that he missed the final stretch of the last season due to a number of injuries.
