Bayern Munich’s Kompany Sees PSV as a Threat, Keeps Lineup Secret
Bayern Munich’s head coach Vincent Kompany recognizes the weariness in his squad but remains resolute about not resting key players. As his team prepares to face PSV Eindhoven, he acknowledges the formidable challenge presented by their upcoming opponent.
Bayern Munich Sees PSV as a Serious Threat
Kompany highlighted PSV’s confidence and attacking prowess, reflecting on their impressive victories, including a 6-2 win against Napoli and a 4-1 triumph over Liverpool. Despite a recent loss to Saint-Gilloise, he maintains that Bayern must approach the match with caution.
Assessing PSV’s Strengths
- Critical similarities in attacking styles and player roles between PSV and Bayern.
- PSV excels in high pressing, demonstrating compact and aggressive play.
“We’re in a position with most of our squad available, although a few players are still integrating back after injury,” Kompany noted. “We have confidence in our squad and believe in those who will start.”
Tactical Considerations
Kompany maintains a tight lid on his lineup decisions, stating, “I can’t decide who plays until the day of the match.” He also hinted that energy levels would play a significant role in the game’s outcome. This is particularly relevant following a sluggish performance against Augsburg.
In terms of personnel, Sacha Boey has returned from illness but will not start. His presence off the bench could be beneficial. Simultaneously, he expressed confidence in integrating players like Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, though noted that it’s a challenging process as the season intensifies.
Looking Ahead
As Kompany gears up for the encounter with PSV Eindhoven, he aims to field his strongest lineup. His commitment to winning and his respect for the opponent underline the significance of this match in the broader context of the season.
