The champions, chasing a record-extending fifth straight
Bundesliga title, dropped their first points of the season when
they drew against Cologne after also losing in the Champions
League to Atletico Madrid for their first defeat of the season.
Bayern had started with five consecutive league wins but in
their past two or three matches in all competitions, including a
narrow 1-0 win over Hamburg SV, they lacked killer instinct.
"We have learned from our mistakes and we have discussed them,"
Ancelotti told reporters ahead off the trip to Frankfurt.
"Tomorrow is another day and we will give it our best.
"I think maybe some players were a bit tired and we did not have
that total intensity despite playing well. We will enjoy a
different moment tomorrow."
Bayern are three points clear at the top of the table having
conceded just two goals.
Second-placed Hertha Berlin take on Borussia Dortmund, four
points behind the Bavarians in third, later on Friday.
Ancelotti can count on fit-again winger Arjen Robben and
defender Holger Badstuber, who is returning from another long
injury absence, is hoping for a place in the squad.
"I am happy with how my team plays," said Ancelotti, who took
over in the close season from Pep Guardiola.
"Maybe they did not manage to fully apply my ideas or my plan.
We can and must improve but overall I am satisfied."
