On August 17th at 02:45, Bayern Munich will face second-division side Ulm in the first round of the German Cup. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany attended the press conference before the game.
On the players who returned late (Kane, Davies, Palhinha, etc.)
“These players are not yet 100%, but they will gradually get there. It is important to keep them healthy because we have many games in the coming months. They are ready to play, but maybe not for 90 minutes yet. I hope that in the next few weeks we can have all the players ready to play the full 90 minutes.”
On tomorrow’s game
“We will play against Ulm, who have done very well in the past few years. It is an important game for us. I don’t think we will lack respect for the opponent in this game. We are looking forward to it. Bayern is always under pressure, that’s the reality.”
On Bayern’s recent problems in the German Cup
“What happened in the past years is irrelevant to me. The important thing is that we win the game tomorrow. For me, the key is the game against Ulm and winning this game.”
On tomorrow’s line-up
“You will see who is on the pitch and who is not tomorrow.”
On internal communication with the players
“We always communicate honestly, directly and clearly with the players. Christoph, Max and I do this together. It is important for the players to know what is happening, not for people outside to know.”
On Sane
“I hope he joins us as soon as possible. We need every player, especially every player to stay healthy. It is important to find a good balance. In the next three and a half months, we will have about 30 games, so it is also important that we bring players back slowly, rather than rushing them back.”
