There has been a lot of criticism hurled over at Bayern Munich’s defense, specifically at center-backs Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae.
For Vincent Kompany, it comes with the territory. Yes, he hears it (and maybe reads it, too), but Kompany will not lose any sleep over a situation that he cannot control.
“I don’t know. I know what will be written anyway. But Anderlecht was a good learning curve for me, at all levels. I grew up in this world, so it doesn’t really concern me. When you work at Bayern, which is in the top five of the biggest clubs in the world, there’s not a single moment when you are not in the spotlight,” Kompany told DH les Sports + (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “The important thing is to keep it simple and focus on what matters and that is to win and always want to do better.”
If the Bayern Munich backline can get it together, the noise will almost assuredly die down. If things do not improve, though, Kompany mighty have to remind himself to continue tune out the criticism.
In case you missed it, France Football left Jamal Musiala out of their Ballon d’Or top 30, which has sparked anger among the Bayern Munich fanbase and executives alike. If you want to know why it’s such a big deal, we covered it in our newest podcast episode, alongside a discussion about Florian Wirtz vs Paul Wanner and whom Bayern Munich should get first.
