Bayern's manager Kompany is expressing disapproval at the initial subtle suspicions.
After two consecutive losses, there's a hint of uncertainty surrounding FC Bayern's playing style, and the absence of star player Jamal Musiala due to hip joint issues. Yet, coach Vincent Kompany maintains his cool. He's unfazed by the initial setback in his tenure and remains committed to his adventurous playing style. Up next on Sunday at 5:30 PM (DAZN and live ticker on ntv.de), FC Bayern faces Eintracht Frankfurt, the league's current form team. Kompany views this encounter as just another opportunity to accrue points and defend their Bundesliga position.
Kompany is cognizant of the potential challenges posed by Frankfurt's Waldstadion. Previous coaches, such as Thomas Tuchel, have experienced defeats there. Four years ago, Niko Kovac's Bayern team also ended the match with a scoreline of 1:5. Kompany characterized Dino Toppmöller's Frankfurt team, with whom he was previously a co-trainer under Julian Nagelsmann, as a potent counter-attacking squad filled with skilled players. Striker Omar Marmoush, with seven goals and five assists, currently stands out.
"Our approach is our foundation"
To fill Musiala's void, Kompany might consider Leroy Sané. Kompany has unwavering faith in all of his players, including Sané. He's unwilling to alter the team's approach, a belief that's echoed by sporting director Max Eberl. "Our approach is the foundation we build upon," Eberl stated, referring to the team's performances against Bayer Leverkusen (1:1) and Aston Villa in the Champions League (0:1).
There were concerns during the game against Aston Villa. Neuer was deceived and found himself far from the goal. Eberl, however, sees this as a viable approach. "Leverkusen and Villa were matches that, if played more frequently, we'd eventually win," Eberl declared, also pointing out that "if we bring our form of the past few weeks to the pitch, we'll win and stay atop the league. That must remain our goal." As of now, Bayern may be in what's known as the "crucial weeks," with their goal-scoring prowess seemingly waning against stronger opponents. Even Harry Kane has gone without a goal contribution recently.
Criticism from Sky expert Dietmar Hamann, who remains skeptical about Kompany, was rebuffed by Eberl on Saturday, evidently frustrated. "Didi Hamann is like a persistent ringing in the ear. He pops up every three days," quipped Eberl, hoping for a favorable response on the field - also to alleviate pressure ahead of tough games against second-place VfB Stuttgart and FC Barcelona with former manager Hansi Flick.
