A somewhat hard-fought victory over Wolfsburg in their Bundesliga opener could spell a difficult season for Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany. A coach who was relegated from the Premier League with Burnley is now in charge of the mighty Bayern Munich. Therefore, I warn Kompany, just one loss, in any round, the criticism aimed at Kompany will be very harsh.
Talking about Bayern Munich at this time, I compare the team to a supercar consisting of 3 separate parts combined. Accordingly, the front part of the car belongs to the high-end segment, the middle part is also of equally good quality, but the rear part is rotten. New season, new expectations but the same old pain for Bayern Munich. A poor defense has left the team bogged down. For lonl-distance racing, this car can still reach the finish line. However, whether they will win the championship or not, no one dares to be optimistic. It is not clear whether Kompany will be a success or a failure this season, but at the very least, I need him to improve his defense immediately.
This is not a big deal really and at least Bayern Munich still got their first win of the season. Wolfsburg proved that they are not a weak team in general and the evidence of two goals against Bayern Munich will be the beginning of a stern warning for Vincent Kompany to fix his defense.
I think there is a time for us to talk about this further when a league has been running for half a season and for now Bayern Munich remains one of the favorites to win regardless of the results they get. Criticism will always be there, especially considering Vincent Kompany's status as a mediocre coach before, he will definitely always get scorn from many people. What is clear is that Bayern Munich must stay focused and let everyone chatter for now.
It's still absurd to me why people are obsessed with the past of Vincent Kompany, yes he managed Burnley, and yes Burnley went down too, but do you guys really think the Bayern management recruited him for no reason? Not looking at any of his qualities?
Kompany came a long way as a player, and his footballing philosophy is amazing. He is a vocal manager who has his priorities straight. Yes, the first game didn't have the most convincing scoreline, but it was due to the center backs having a bad game. Kim Min Jae made a horrible mistake. That should not have happened. And this is also not the first time Kim Min Jae is making mistakes.
There are still 2 days till the window closes, if Bayern goes for a late move for a cornerback, I won't be surprised. They sold De Ligt, there are shoes to fill, so this might go on. I think it would be a good idea for them to get a new cornerback, someone like Guehi who is on the market now.
