Bayern coach hints at change in goal

BAYERN Munich coach Louis van Gaal has hinted at a possible change of goalkeeper that would promote reserve Thomas Kraft to No. 1.

Van Gaal would not comment on reports in Germany that the 22-year-old Kraft already has been named to take over from Hans-Joerg Butt, who is 36. While declining to discuss the subject, Van Gaal said that Kraft needs match practice under pressure. "He (Kraft) has a great talent and we have to build him up a bit so that he can play under pressure," van Gaal said.
