Bayern will host Freiburg in the 11th round of the Bundesliga. Before the game, Kompany talked about his expectations for the match at a press conference.
Team injury information
"Regarding Neuer's situation, we still need to wait and see. He's feeling a bit under the weather, and we hope he can resume training today. Gnabry might not be available; he's feeling a bit unwell after returning from the national team, and perhaps he'll be back after the Freiburg game. Kimmich will definitely play tomorrow, and Ito will also return to the squad."
How is Alphonso Davies' recovery going?
"Alphonso is an incredible player. Although he hasn't fully recovered yet, he may already be the fastest player in the team again. We need to be a bit patient with Alphonso. If he can play one or two games this year, that would already be fantastic."
Views on Freiburg
"Freiburg is one of the best examples in football, and I highly appreciate the stability in football. Their coach once played there. They've never really changed their style, just made some minor adjustments."
"Looking at their scouting work, they know very well which players fit their tactical system. Playing against them is never easy. They have the ability to compete with any team. I hold the highest respect for Freiburg and their management, and I am very much looking forward to this game."
Let's talk about Hoeness's earlier praise for you
"There is no perfection in the world. Even when we perform well, we always aspire to do better - this will never change. My attitude towards praise is the same as my attitude towards criticism. I focus on the next game."
"The club has a great atmosphere, and I feel good too. I want to do my job well, motivate the players, and ensure they make the right decisions. Anything can happen in a game, but I believe we can always achieve success."
Lennart Karl has been compared to Messi
"We must remain objective - that's my duty. No matter how many goals they score, no matter how the players perform, no matter whether the game is played well or poorly, we must remain objective. At Bayern, even if you're young, you have to be different."
"They are always eager to achieve more, and that's what matters most. No matter how talented they are, experience cannot be bought; it must be accumulated over time. That's what we want to support, and we hope to help these lads reach their full potential."
The team's start to the season has been nearly perfect
"We have drawn once with Union Berlin this season, and we haven't forgotten that we failed to win the last game. This is not a perfect season, and a strong finish is crucial."
"The results at the beginning of the season are just icing on the cake. We hope to be stronger towards the end of the season. Even though we are performing well now, it is not an easy task, but we hope to be stronger than we are now towards the end of the season."
Freiburg has few players participating in national team matches. Does this benefit their preparation for this game?
"This may be considered an advantage, but the fact is that our budget is more ample than Freiburg's, and our players are more experienced. I don't want to use this as an excuse, and our team is not disappointed."
"All the players have qualified for the World Cup and returned with a positive attitude. Of course, I would have preferred the players to train with me for a whole week, but we've gotten used to this situation."
