Nagelsmann pleased with how Munich trashed Hertha Berlin

Julian Nagelsmann

was delighted with how

performed as they beat

4-1 on Sunday, specifically with their counter-pressing.

Corentin Tolisso, Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane, and Serge Gnabry found the back of the net and helped their side restore the six-point lead in the

table, notwithstanding the goal from Hertha Berlin's Jurgen Ekkelenkamp following a blunder from substitute Dayot Upamecano.

The champions had domination over the game, having had 19 shots on target from 30.

"

I'm very pleased with the performance,"

Nagelsmann said at a post-match news conference.

"The first half was a bit stronger than in the return fixture. Our players were extremely sharp in their counter-pressing. We had many chances from our possession.

"In the second half, Hertha were a bit better. Overall, it's a deserved win and a very good game from us."

Muller was delighted by his side's efforts, particularly in the chances they created.

"We played well. We had a lot of attacking players on the pitch," the 32-year-old said after scoring his sixth league goal of the campaign.

"We were looking forward to the game because we knew what we were going to do today. On the other hand, of course, you never know how an attacking wing pairing of Coman and Gnabry will work."

Muller added, quoted on Bayern's official website:

"The first half was maybe even a bit better than the second because we had more control.

"Our counter-pressing was a bit better, we allowed practically nothing. We had Berlin pinned down right from the start and let nothing go to waste, and had chance after chance. A very good afternoon of football."
