Carlo Ancelotti says he has made very few changes to Bayern Munich since replacing Pep Guardiola at the helm, but feels he has turned them into a more direct side.
The defending Bundesliga champions got the 2016-17 campaign off to a great start on Friday as they trounced Werder Bremen 6-0.
Robert Lewandowski netted three, while Xabi Alonso, Philipp Lahm and Franck Ribery were also among the goals in a comfortable win.
Ancelotti was delighted with his team’s performance, but insists they look much the same as they did last term.
“We made ??a very good start to the game, we scored quickly and completely controlled the game,” he said.
“I’m very happy, this is a very good performance from my team.
“In fact, I have changed very little in this team, it’s a great team. We just tried to play a little more directly.”
Ancelotti hailed Lewandowski after the striker scored his second hat-trick in two games, with the Poland international having hit a cup treble against Carl Zeiss Jena a week ago.
“He is a fantastic player,” said Ancelotti. “He is always in the box ready to score.”
