Pep Guardiola insists that he should not have to justify his team selection after Bayern Munich's loss to Wolfsburg in the DFL-Supercup.

Pep Guardiola has responded to criticism of his team selection against Wolfsburg at the weekend by claiming that it is down to the Bayern Munich players to prove their worth.

Questions were raised when Mario Gotze was left out of the side that lost on penalties in the DFL-Supercup on Saturday, but Guardiola claims that he should not have to justify his decisions to the media.

"We played in a competitive match, Mario Gotze did not play, you might also ask about Arjen Robben or Thomas Muller," he told reporters. "I cannot say in every press conference why one player or another did not play.

"Only 11 can play, the players know that and the press should too. Gotze is one of my favourite players. Last season he played in all of the games except two or three.

"But they have to try and convince me on the pitch in every game, not in the past. They have to convince me, not journalists."

Bayern take on Nottingen in the DFB-Pokal on Sunday.
