Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has hailed Paris Saint-Germain as a team with great individuality ahead of their Champions League clash at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday.
The Bavarians are 17th in the Champions League standings while PSG are 25th and their chances of qualifying are very slim. “
We are playing against one of the biggest clubs in Europe,” Kompany said. “
They have great individuality and a very good coach. Both teams want to win. “
We are playing at home and this game is very important for us. “
Their (PSG) squad has incredible individuality. ยูฟ่าเบท The spaces between the lines are never wide. The pressing is very aggressive and good. “
At the halfway point in the revamped Champions League format, Bayern Munich find themselves down in 17th with just six points from four games. Should they finish between ninth and 24th, Kompany’s side will enter a playoff system for a place in the Round of 16.
Despite wins against St. Pauli (1-0) and Augsburg (3-0) in their last two Bundesliga games, performances have been less than optimal and after a 1-0 win over Benfica in their last Champions League fixture, fans will be hoping for an improvement against a PSG side that are also enduring a difficult European campaign.
When they have the ball they have a clear attacking style. As a team they are very good.”
Bayern Munich’s game against PSG ‘a big opportunity’ for the Rekordmeister
After shipping four goals against Barcelona, Bayern Munich have kept six consecutive clean sheets. Addressing the criticism that they can’t win a ‘big game’ despite their recent good form in the Bundesliga, Kompany said: “Criticism doesn’t matter to me, it never mattered and won’t in the future.
“What’s important is how the team lives and improves, how each individual player develops, even though they’re already top players. We don’t differentiate between games. All games aren’t easy.”
Speaking in Monday’s press conference, Kompany added: “For us, there’s a big opportunity to show something for our fans tomorrow. But the mentality always has to be the same, regardless of the opponent. Hopefully our fans can go home tomorrow with a good feeling.”
