Kahn Inspired By Hitzfeld Return

(Goal.com) - Oliver Kahn believes that the arrival of Ottmar Hitzfeld as coach of Bayern Munich has resurrected the club's hopes of winning some silverware this term.

The German international goalkeeper is delighted to see the trainer return after Felix Magath was axed and claims that confidence is now on the up.

"Hitzfeld has given us renewed confidence and it is like we have changed our way of thinking," he said.

"We have unbreakable faith and not believe that anything is possible in both the Champions League and the Bundesliga."

Bayern take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their last 16 tie on Wednesday and Kahn is not expecting his side to try and score a glut of goals.

The keeper, that has become synonymous with the passionate meetings between the two clubs in recent seasons, would be content with going through on away goals.

"There is no reason to hammer Real Madrid. Winning 1-0 in the 88th minute will be enough," he said, reflecting on Mark Van Bommel's late goal saw Bayern lose just 3-2 in el Bernabéu."

After beating Hertha at the weekend in the Bundesliga, Kahn claims that he can see the team playing better and better under Hitzfeld.

"Tactically we are improving with every game," he concluded.
