Munich (AP) - Munich defense chief David Alaba is apparently not worried about Bayern's title defense in the Bundesliga despite the recent weak phase.
"We are still leaders in the table and I am sure that we will win the next games again and will be at the top in the end," said the Austrian of the "Bild" newspaper (Monday).
The record champions suffered a 3-2 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday, but stayed at the top of the league thanks to a defeat by pursuers RB Leipzig.
In the past few weeks, the Munich team has been particularly vulnerable to defensiveness, has often fallen behind and has not managed to win the Bundesliga without a goal since October.
Alaba not only takes the defense to account, but demands a compact appearance from everyone.
"At the moment we are not doing that well as a team in a few situations," he said.
The 28-year-old sees no reason to change anything in the system.
"We won a couple of titles with the way we played last season and we know that we can play football so successfully," he emphasized.
In top games like against Gladbach, nuances were decisive.

Alaba did not see his still unexplained future from the summer as evidence that he himself had become weaker.
«No, absolutely not.
Personally, I don't think it's going that bad for me this season either, and I haven't changed my style of play compared to last year.
I have already mentioned it many times: For me, the only thing that counts is to play another successful season with FC Bayern. "
Alaba's contract expires in late June.
