For Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, Jungstar Can Uzun von Eintracht Frankfurt is the best example of new football stars who develop and fill gaps in the Bundesliga. “We have lost many top players in the Bundesliga. But that also gives room for a new generation top player,” said Kompany before the game between the Eintracht around the 19-year-old offensive player and the Munich-based Munich team on Saturday (6.30 p.m./Sky).
In the summer, some stars such as Leverkusens Florian Wirtz (22), Frankfurt goalkeeper Hugo Ekitiké (23), the Munich Thomas Müller (36) and Leroy Sané (29) or the Stuttgart Nick Woltemade (23) or the Leipzig Xavi Simons (22) moved abroad. Uzun is one of the actors who were able to play in the foreground with strong performances in the first weeks of the season and will probably count among the big winners in the Bundesliga market value update on October 14th.

During the week, DFB sports director Rudi Völler had already sung a song of praise on Uzun and, with a melancholy, looked back on the decision of the player for the Turkish association: “That he now makes a career as you can see on TV every week-I have a little tear in mind when I am honest. Because we hoped that. He is a wonderful kicker.”
Before the traditional Oktoberfest visit of Bayern professionals this Sunday, Kompany wants to play the tenth victory in the tenth competitive game of the season four days after the 5-1 at FC Pafos in Europe’s premier class. The Bayern coach called the Frankfurters, who had to cope with a violent deep blow during the week in the Champions League with the 1: 5 at Atlético Madrid than a “very strong and dangerous team”.
