<\/p>\nCarlo Ancelotti finished his debut at the Allianz Arena with a win against Manchester City, coached by his colleague Pep Guardiola. The deadlock was not broken until the second half and the goal from the young starlet Erdal \u00d6zturk was enough for Bayern Munich to sealed its second victory (1-0) of the preseason, against City coached by the man who was in charge of the German side the last three seasons.<\/p>\n
Guardiola’s return to the Allianz allowed Ancelotti to received his good friend at home the way he deserved, the relation between the two of them is more than friendly, and his players showed signs that the preseason work begun by the Italian is starting to bear fruit. Bayern were always better than City, especially in the first half, where the Bavarians had the best chances to score led by an outstanding Franck Ribery.<\/p>\n
Despite being best throughout the first half, the goal did not come until the middle of the second half, when \u00d6zturk scored the only goal with a shot from outside the area. After the goal, the pace of game declined and the game ended with a win that helps to keep working towards the way they want to play and the concepts Carlo Ancelotti is passing on to his player.<\/p>\n
