Vincent Kompany’s first Champions League match as a manager was an absolute banger as Bayern Munich dismantled Dinamo Zagreb, 9-2. But it came with some tense moments as Bayern seemingly threw away a 3-0 lead in the opening minutes of the second half by conceding twice.
As a former player, Kompany’s composure is starting to trickle down to his players. Bayern scored six unanswered goals to close out the second half.
In his postgame interview (via @iMiaSanMia), Kompany said, “In the end it’s about the 3 points, the 9 goals we scored and the fact we won. The energy was good, the players enjoyed themselves on the pitch. We conceded twice because we were a step too late as a team, but we showed a reaction and it was a good evening for us.”
Specifically asked about the second half errors (via @iMiaSanMia), Kompany added, “We still need to work on that. But we stayed calm and immediately created 3 big chances (after conceding twice). The mentality was there.”
