In anticipation of the Bundesliga match of Bayern Munich against Borussia Mönchengladbach this Sunday, head coach Vincent Kompany spoke during a press conference about the preparations and expectations of the team for the game.
About the status of Manuel Neuer:
“If all goes well, Neuer will return tomorrow.”
For preparations after the title victory:
“This week has been like any other – we are fully prepared. It is an important game because it is the last home game of Thomas Müller in the Allianz Arena.
It is a day to celebrate and we want a perfect Saturday. That will not be easy – we are confronted with a strong opponent. “
In the last home game of Müller:
“It will absolutely become emotional. I am not sure if Müller or the people around him will be more emotional. These are special moments. I have experienced them myself, and I know Müller – he is still a hunter, always wants to prove what we can do. His relationship with the fans is very special.”
To whom the trophy can lift – Neuzer, Müller or Kane:
“I don't know who will lift it. What is the most important thing is that the trophy stays in Bayern. I only planned for the competition – I don't know what will happen next.”
On conversations with Sané about staying:
“For me, the most important thing is that the sporting aspect is always. We have talked about my plans for next season. I am not getting involved in other things. I understand that players are worried – this is a big moment in his life. What is important to me is that the players perform well, and Sané has done that.”
When winning the Bundesliga and what it means for Belgian coaches:
“I am very happy and grateful. I hope that my story can inspire others. After experiencing both promotion and relegation with Burnley, I earned Bayern's Trust and the chance to win the Bundesliga – that is something really special. I see it as a start, and I believe that a new generation of Belgian coaches will soon come up.”
At academic players who receive risks:
“We always discuss what is best for their development. This is a good time for them to get opportunities, but the club also wants them to help the youth teams win championships.
We will support them even if that means that some have to wait for opportunities for the first team. Winning a youth championship is also important. “
On Hamburger SV that may be promoted:
“I followed HSV and cheers for them. I love Munich, but Hamburg is also a beautiful city. I would like to have two trips to Hamburg next season.”
On Müller who plays tomorrow:
“I'm not stupid, but let's wait and see tomorrow – I don't want to spoil the party.”
About how the title influences his coaching status:
“When I was 17 or 18, I was seen as one of Europe's top talents, but I had many injuries and experienced both praise and criticism from the media.
My story is about making progress.
As a player I learned to concentrate on myself. As a coach it is different – you have to let the entire team function. I don't care how people see me. The point is that the team is going well. I don't want anyone think I am satisfied – I want to keep pushing forward. “
