Bayern Munich Coach Kompany Stands by Players After Recent Draws

Bayern Munich’s coach Vincent Kompany has come to the defense of his players after they recorded two consecutive draws. The team drew 2-2 with Augsburg in the Bundesliga and then played to a 3-3 draw against Viking in the Champions League. These results have raised questions about the team’s performance, especially their ability to finish and defend.

Despite the setbacks, Kompany believes the team is close to reaching their best form. He highlighted their attacking efforts, noting that they took 50 shots on goal in the last two matches. He expressed optimism, saying, “If we do a few things better, then we are not too far from our very best version.”

Kompany also mentioned that the players are eager for the upcoming challenging matches, which include a home game against RB Leipzig, followed by a clash with Arsenal in the Champions League and matches against Bundesliga leaders Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund. He stated, “These moments that some people think might be difficult, we say these are the best moments you can have in your career.”

On the topic of defense, Kompany acknowledged the team’s need for improvement but emphasized that they have been discussing solutions. He said, “It’s important to draw a line under things quickly. Now we go to the next game.”

Looking ahead to the match against Leipzig, Kompany expects a tough challenge, as Leipzig arrives with confidence and strong attacking players. He also provided updates on player conditions, noting that goalkeeper Manuel Neuer missed training due to a foot issue, while Aleksandar Pavlović was fit to play if he completes another training session.
