New Bayern tactic? Kompany banking on unpredictability | OneFootball

Bayern will face Wehen Wiesbaden on Wednesday evening in the first round of the cup. Vincent Kompany spoke at the press conference on Tuesday about an allegedly new tactical approach.

The Kompany team is in top form – this was impressively demonstrated in the first two competitive matches of the season as well as in the previous friendlies. In the Supercup, Bayern secured the first title of the new season, and shortly after, they achieved a strong 6-0 victory against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga opener. Now, the record champions continue in the DFB-Pokal.

There, they will face Wehen Wiesbaden away on Wednesday evening. At the press conference on Tuesday, Kompany was asked whether he was inspired by Kimmich’s role in the national team, where Kimmich occupies the right half-space and delivers crosses into the penalty area from there.

The FCB coach explained: “To be completely honest, I don’t watch international matches that often; I prefer to analyze our own games. Our inspiration comes from what we see in training and in our own matches. We haven’t changed anything about that.”

Midfielders further out wide? “Not so important”

Kompany continued: “Whether the central midfielders drift out wide is not so important; what matters is the fluidity in our game. It may be true that you noticed something like that in one match, but I can guarantee you that it will be different in the next game. That is an important principle for us.”

When asked whether rotation could now be expected, Kompany replied: “It’s not about resting players. We’ve started very well. If Leon Goretzka gets through the final training session, he’ll be involved as normal. Everyone from the weekend will be there. I don’t like the word rotation.” Kick-off in Wiesbaden is on Wednesday at 8:45 pm.
