Kompany confirms Germany stars will start for Bayern against Aston Villa | OneFootball

Vincent Kompany gave a press conference after FC Bayern’s 2-1 win against Jeju SK in South Korea. Youngsters Bastian Assomo and Felipe Chavez scored the goals for the German champions on Tuesday.

“It's always important to give the youngsters information, help and challenge them,” said Kompany after the game. “For example, about Basti Assomo and the goal he scored, we know that he was capable of that. He still has many things to improve as a striker, but it was good for a 16-year old to score.

“For me there's no pressure on these youngsters, it's a learning curve for them. Guido (Della Rovere) and Chávez are a bit older than Basti. There are guys who are ready for the next step, whether with us or elsewhere. We have to support them on this path. They have to keep going"

Kompany also recalled there are more young prospects left at home. “We shouldn't forget that we don't have all the young players with us here: for example, Kiala, Daiber, Wisdom Mike, Osmani.” the Belgian recalled.

However, the Belgian coach plans to use the regular players from the start for the next game against Aston Villa in Hong Kong. "I think the players who played 30 minutes today will be able to play 60 minutes on Friday. And those who got 60 minutes today will play 30 on Friday. Lucho Díaz, Laimer and Stanišić are not ready for that yet. But the German internationals, Min-jae and Itō are ready."

Kompany also confirmed Kim Min-jae was substituted after only 35 minutes for load management as he’ll be one of the starts for the game against the Europa League winners. The former center-back was pleased with both the intensity of Tuesday’s encounter and the fact that there are no injuries in the squad.
