Bayern Munich's Toni Kroos: 'We were slow starters'

Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos has admitted that his team got off to a slow start in their DFB-Pokal semi-final against Kaiserslautern.

Pep Guardiola's side went on to win the match 5-1, but the Germany international conceded that they only got into their stride after scoring their second goal.

"Our first two goals did us good," he told reporters. "Before then we were not quite there, had no opportunities and did not play smoothly.

"After that, we were a bit freer and played better. I look forward to the final."

Kroos, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Muller, Mario Mandzukic and Mario Gotze were on target for Bayern, setting up a cup final clash with arch rivals Borussia Dortmund.
