"If I tell you what I feel, I will be in trouble having to turn up for an unpleasant meeting with our sports director or Mr. Rummenigge," the Dutch striker emphasized.
"I am 34 and work all day and every day hard for games like that. Then you are being told you are not part of the starting eleven. That's a painful story," the striker told a TV station after he was substituted in the 42nd minute. Ribery only got 12 minutes.
Heynckes said he understands Robben's frustration but won't accept further complaints. If reactions like that are only evidence that everything is fine, the 2013 treble winner said. Heynckes said the team would have to survive many more games, offering plenty of opportunities to perform for all of the club's stars.
While Kingsley Coman or James Rodriguez stand for the club's future, golden-agers such as Robben and Ribery are fighting for an extension of their contract and will demand more play minutes to promote their wish to get another year before retiring.
Heynckes is insisting on focusing on the team's deficits: "I was surprised by the team's nervous start," he remarked. German international Jerome Boateng said the team was lucky not to receive two goals in the first 16 minutes until the red card for Besiktas defender Domagoj Vida. "It is our job to improve, as we will have to face teams of higher quality in the future," the defender commented.
Heynckes and Boateng reminded the squad of the team's goals but refused to talk about a possible 2018 Champions League triumph. "We have to think from game to game," Bayern's president Uli Hoeness stressed, adding that the second leg game against Besiktas still lies ahead despite the comfortable 5-0 lead.
