Bavaria games with fall height: Kompany is “not afraid”
The 1.90-meter man Vincent Kompany face all challenges in football. Honorary President Hoeneß explains the Bayern coach before the week of truth.
With a relaxed “hello guys” Vincent Kompany climbed the podium in the press estate of FC Bayern early in the morning and then revealed the motto with which he goes into the directional weeks.
It is important for the Belgian and the Munich Star ensemble around striker Harry Kane and offensive jewel Jamal Musiala to avert the early KO in the Champions League in two playoff games against Celtic Glasgow. And in between the top game of the Bundesliga takes place at the big rival Bayer Leverkusen. Kompany wants to stay fully on the master course.
“I go challenges”
“I’m not a fearor. I am going to challenges,” says the 1.90 meter tall coach, who can also embody this determination with his giant stature. “We have very, very important weeks ahead of us,” seconded the part of the Kompany’s side and compared with the former defender, a slim -looking sports director Christoph Freund.
Werder-green in front of Celtic-green
Before the Celtic-Green appears in the two co-games against Scotland’s master in front of the eyes of Kompany and his professionals, it is initially the Werder-Grün that will be released on Friday (8:30 p.m./DAZN) in the Allianz Arena. And then Kompany focuses on the absolute focus. “We can only win one game tomorrow, against Bremen and not against Celtic,” emphasized the Belgian: “We are not allowed to look too far ahead.”
Especially since Werder is making it “very good” away this season, as the coach emphasized. The table night took 17 out of 30 points in foreign stadiums. Bayern, of course, have lost only one of the past 30 league games against Werder; But a year ago with 0: 1 (gate: Mitchell Weiser).
In 2025, Bayern started flawlessly with five league wins. Nevertheless, the defensive performance gave rise to discussions. Honorary President Uli Hoeneß also deposited at Kompany 4: 3 against Kiel.
Hoeneß asks, Kompany replies
“Bavaria is an association where there are a lot of leaders. But I can’t give an answer to everything,” Kompany reacted. One explanation followed – and the reference to the fact that he could take every team in the Bundesliga “who got more goals than we did”.
Bayern provide the only defensive that has conceded less than 20 goals after 20 match days, namely 19. Nevertheless, Kompany warns: “You always have to have in mind that every phase is important, every phase, every moment.” After a strain, Leon Goretzka returns to the squad as a possible defensive power.
DFB captain Joshua Kimmich, who, as a midfielder, is responsible for the balance between the offensive and defensive, expressed very clearly about the negligence like against Kiel. “It is more of a mental thing. We are not allowed to lose our principles. If we do this, we are a normal team and therefore vulnerable against every opponent.”
After the contract extensions with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (until 2026) and Turbo defender Alphonso Davies (until 2030), Bayern are now hoping for the signatures of Kimmich and Musiala among new million contracts.
Freund talks about contractual clauses
“We are very happy that we could already implement certain things,” said Freund. Exit clauses are no longer taboo in Munich. 100 million man Kane has one. And Musiala also claims to be a say for the expensive yes word beyond 2026.
“There are always constellations in football where you have to find compromises,” admitted sports director friend. The primary goal is to “implement the best possible in individual negotiations and contracts”. However, depending on the individual case, he spoke of “different constellations”.
