Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is taking nothing for granted against Dortmund this weekend.
Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is gearing up for a crucial clash against Dortmund this Saturday, knowing that their impressive form won’t guarantee a win.
Despite having won all ten competitive games this campaign, Kompany is aware that the Dortmund match has its own narrative and energy.
“It’s a game with its own narrative, own event,” Kompany said in an interview with the Bundesliga’s official site. “It feels like a derby even though there’s a big distance between both cities. It’s a classic. Emotions play a bigger role than in other games – and that’s what makes it special.”
Kompany’s side has been in top form, but the Bayern boss knows that the Dortmund match is about more than just form. “Such games don’t just play on form,” he emphasized. “Both games last year against Dortmund were good. We played well, but drew to them twice.”
“As soon as you arrive in the stadium, you feel it’s a special game,” he said. “The emotions are high, and the stakes are even higher.”
Kompany is hoping to guide his side to a big win on Saturday evening, and he’s aware of the importance of the 3 points. “At the end of the day, 3 points are important in every game – but even more important in such a game”.
This will be a tough test for Bayern, and Kompany knows that his team needs to be at their best to come out on top. With the stakes high and emotions running wild, it’s set to be an unforgettable match.
