Ahead of the second half of the Bundesliga campaign, Bayern Munich striker Ivica Olic has made a plea to coach Jupp Heynckes to use him more regularly in the first team.
With club president Uli Hoeness admitting that his side are in the need of another top class striker, the writing seemed to be on the wall for Olic’s future with the German giants.
Heynckes recently praised the Croatia international, who he feels could be an able replacement for Mario Gomez if the star striker gets injured. Olic appears to have taken confidence in those remarks, and has now targeted more regular playing time.
“I hope that I play more because the last season, for the entire season, I had an injury," Olic exclusively told Goal.com. "Now, I have come back. I hope this for me and for the coach that I play more."
Following his club's 4-0 win over India in Tuesday's friendly match, he praised the host nation and hoped for a better footballing future for the country.
He added: “We came at them yesterday. In the first half, we scored. In the second half, India did well. For me, the India team will be better, but they didn’t score today.”
