Kompany announces reaction after Bayern defeat against Arsenal!

FC Bayern Munich suffered their first defeat of the season on Tuesday evening. Coach Vincent Kompany's team suffered a 3-1 defeat in the Champions League game against Arsenal. The second half, in which the Munich team couldn't really shine, was described by Kompany as not being enough. “The last half hour wasn’t at the required level,” said the coach. Given this disappointment, he sees the reaction to the defeat as crucial, especially in the current phase of the season in which the team now has to get back to it against St. Pauli. Kicker

Looking ahead to the upcoming game against FC St. Pauli, who arrive with a disastrous record of eight consecutive defeats, Kompany expressed the need to flip the switch and focus on the challenges ahead. “We must not underestimate St. Pauli under any circumstances,” warned the coach and recalled that the Hamburg team had been quite successful against Bayern in the past. Players may be able to benefit from pressure that they will not experience at the usual intensity. Yahoo Sports

Preparation for St. Pauli

The team has no new injury concerns to report, giving Kompany the opportunity to adjust his lineup after the final practice session on Friday afternoon. “The energy and hunger that the team shows are crucial,” said sports director Christoph Freund. He emphasizes the importance of reacting to setbacks, which is important not only for the morale of the players but also for the rest of the season.

In addition, Luis Diaz, who was suspended in the Champions League, may return to the starting line-up. “It is important that we get things back under control quickly so as not to lose sight of the ambitions of the season,” said Kompany. Next Wednesday there is also a DFB Cup game against 1. FC Union Berlin on the agenda, which will further increase the strain on the players. Kicker
