Football: Bayern need unity, says Schweinsteiger

BERLIN: Bayern Munich star Bastian Schweinsteiger insists his team must unite at Wolfsburg to bounce back from last weekend’s shock defeat to Borussia Moenchengladbach in their season opener. Bayern were beaten 1-0 at home as last season’s relegation contenders left the Allianz Arena with their first win in Munich since 1995. “We need to play more as a team,” said the 27-year-old. “That was our problem during the start of last season. We must not make the mistake again. You need to have a good team spirit in order to succeed.”
