Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany downplayed his team’s need for a big, signature win in the pregame press conference prior to the German giant’s 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
After the match, though, Kompany sure sounded like a guy who had some weight off of his shoulders.
“I’m obviously happy. Our pressing in the first half was very good. The discipline was there. We could have scored perhaps one or two more goals, but the result is good,” said Kompany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “I’m not looking at the table because I don’t understand it yet to be honest. Hopefully it will look good when we win a few more games. We just want to win all our remaining games, then we’d have a good chance to finish in the top eight.”
PSG did try and confuse Bayern Munich with its alignment and player selection, but the manager said the new look did not throw him off.
“This tactical trick didn’t surprise me. Paris had already played without a real striker in recent games,” said Kompany.
Surprised…not surprised…doesn’t matter. Bayern Munich bagged a big name with this victory, which was sorely needed.
