Perfect start of the season with 7 victories

Trainer Vincent Kompany is not only one of his FC Bayern, not only because of the successful opening against club world champion FC Chelsea, one of the overall victory in the overall victory in the Champions League. “I also said last season that we can play for the title. And if I am still here for ten years, I will repeat it for ten years. This is the basis for a Bayern coach. We don’t need to talk around it,” said the Belgian in the “Sky“-InterView:” We want to win every competition in which we compete. “
However, the reality also includes “that the Champions League is very difficult to win”. The 39-year-old illustrated: “Manuel Neuer or Thomas Müller-they felt here for 20 years and won the Champions League twice during this time. That is incredible. But that means that you didn’t make it 18 times.”
The fact that Bayern started after the very short summer break because of the club World Cup in the USA with seven wins from the first seven competitive games is also a little surprised by the coach. “We hardly had a vacation and hardly any preparation. So we did a lot of things that should not be done,” said Kompany: “I don’t know what to do with the few vacation and the short preparation, but of course we are on the right track.”
In the Bundesliga alone, twelve points plus 15 goals after four match days provided a historic record. When it comes to Kompany, he “has no” share in the perfect start of the season. “It is always the players. It is great when you start a season like this. But you are responsible for that. I know my role and support you with what you can do. Of course we need a team culture and clarity. But ultimately it is a success of the players and we all have to go in the same direction together,” he explained. Kompany has now been with 63 games with a point cut of 2.29 since taking office in July 2024 – four of his predecessors had a better balance.
