Vincent Kompany cites Ligabue without wanting to. “Sometimes we come across particular nights. ‘Some nights’ in which it takes little to decide a challenge. It is what happened on the first leg, where we had many chances. We worked to have new ones.” The Bayern coach is revealed in the San Siro press room with serenity and courage. The keyword to understand its approach in view of tomorrow. “We start from our qualities. I feel the atmosphere. They challenge each other the best German team against the best Italian. The talent is the basis of games like this. We have to win, point.”

back to San Siro

Kompany is tied by double thread with San Siro. In 2004, at the age of 18, he challenged the Nerazzurri of Adriano and Martins with his Anderlecht sorcered Moratti. The high floors tried to snatch him from the Belgians, but in the end the plant flew first to Hamburg and then to Manchester City, where he collected 14 trophies. This is his thought on the Meazza: “It is special. When we talk about the best stadiums such as Wembley, Allianz and Camp Nou we must also insert San Siro. The atmosphere will be special. Inter are strong and has great players, such as Thuram. I hope that tomorrow does not put its qualities in the exhibitions”. Today Kompany leads an ambitious Bayern dribbling questions about the future. “If tomorrow is decisive? Well, I could ask me what would happen if I won: I would sign a new agreement? I don’t think one can reach something at these levels if you think about what it can happen if it doesn’t win. This is an opportunity for us. I only think of this”. And to penalties: “We have been exercising since the first round of the German Cup, it is normal. In case, we will be prepared”. Kompany also commented on the words of Lothar Matthaus, according to which Thomas Muller should play from the beginning: “I respect him, but I make the decisions for the good of the team”. Finally, among the posts, given the absence of Neuer, there will be Jonas Urbig, who went from the German Serie B to the Champions League: “It is one of the beautiful stories that we carry with us. We have a 100%confidence in him”.

Kane vs Acerbi

Harry Kane follows the rule of the mountaineer: never look at the summit. Bring badly and deconcently. The Bayern center forward has slipped ten seasonal goals in the Champions League. In front of him there are Raphinha and Lewandowski, but English has dribbled the question relating to the throne of the bomber giving priority to the team. “We have to throw it inside, the marker is not important.” The keystone is security: “We can overturn the result. Already in the first leg we had opportunities to do it, we will have to be more cynical”. Kane also said his about the celebrations of the Nerazzurri after the victory of the first leg: “When an emotions take over, it was a bitter evening for us, not many teams beat Bayern at the Allianz. I understand it”. Acerbi chapter. The blue plant will march it again. “It was hard to face it. He is a very high level player. I enjoy playing against the best defenders in the world, I thank him for the compliments, tomorrow it will be a battle with him.” Kane also spoke of Lautaro, who arrived at 7 goals in the Champions League: “He is one of the best in Europe, he is cynical and knows how to score. He must be respected, but our defenders now know him well”. The last note is on the penalties: “Always train them before the decisive challenges”. One more weapon in view of tomorrow.
