Kane Inspires Bayern Munich to Comeback Win in Kompany's Debut

Kane Inspires Bayern Munich to Comeback Win in Kompany’s Debut

By August 25, 2024 0

Harry Kane’s heroics propelled Bayern Munich to a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Wolfsburg in Vincent Kompany’s Bundesliga debut as manager.

Bayern took an early lead through Jamal Musiala, but Wolfsburg stunned the visitors with two goals from Lovro Majer in the second half. The Croatian midfielder capitalized on defensive errors to put Wolfsburg in front.

However, Kane’s presence proved pivotal for Bayern. His header forced an own goal from Wolfsburg’s Jakub Kaminski, leveling the score. The England captain then set up Serge Gnabry for the winning goal in the 82nd minute.

Despite the victory, Bayern’s performance was far from perfect. “We got punished a little in the second half,” Kane admitted. “We’re still implementing the coach’s ideas.”

Joshua Kimmich echoed Kane’s sentiments, acknowledging that Bayern “lost control of the game due to many mistakes.” However, he praised the team’s resilience in coming back from behind.

Wolfsburg’s resurgence in the second half was impressive, but they were unable to hold on to their lead. The defeat extended their winless streak against Bayern to 21 matches.

In other Bundesliga action, promoted St Pauli hosted Heidenheim in the final match of the round.

Kompany Confident Ahead of Bayern Munich Debut Despite Relegation with Burnley

Kompany Confident Ahead of Bayern Munich Debut Despite Relegation with Burnley

By August 24, 2024 0

Vincent Kompany, the newly appointed Bayern Munich coach, exudes confidence ahead of his Bundesliga debut against Wolfsburg on Sunday. Despite overseeing Burnley’s relegation from the Premier League last season, the 38-year-old Belgian has been entrusted with the daunting task of restoring Bayern’s dominance in German football.

Bayern’s trophyless campaign last season, their first in 11 years, has cast a shadow over the club. Bayer Leverkusen’s impressive domestic double has raised the stakes for Kompany, who is determined to prove his worth.

Kompany, who previously coached Anderlecht and guided them to the 2022 Belgian Cup final, expressed satisfaction with Bayern’s preparations for the season opener. “I’m not nervous, but it’s a big challenge,” he said. “We’ve prepared well, and now it’s up to the players.”

Kompany acknowledged the formidable challenge posed by Leverkusen, who opened their campaign with a victory on Friday. “They were phenomenal last season,” he said. “We’ll need around 90 points for the title again, so we need maximum performance from everyone.”

The Belgian coach hinted at the potential debuts of Michael Olise and Joao Palhinha, who joined Bayern from Crystal Palace and Fulham, respectively. “There’s a good chance they’ll play a lot this season,” he said.

Wolfsburg, Bayern’s opponents on Sunday, have not defeated the Bavarian giants in 20 matches dating back to 2015. Kompany is aware of the challenge but remains optimistic. “We’re excited and ready to start the season,” he said.

Leverkusen Coach Alonso Concedes Bayern Munich as Bundesliga Title Favorites

Leverkusen Coach Alonso Concedes Bayern Munich as Bundesliga Title Favorites

By August 23, 2024 0

Bayer Leverkusen’s remarkable Bundesliga and cup double last season has not swayed coach Xabi Alonso’s belief that Bayern Munich remain the title favorites this season.

“For me, the favorites are Bayern, that’s clear,” Alonso declared at a press conference ahead of Leverkusen’s Bundesliga season opener at Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday. “Our goal is to stay in the top four. That’s realistic — we have a good squad.”

Leverkusen’s historic triumph last season, which ended Bayern’s 11-year reign in Germany, was a testament to their resilience and tactical acumen. However, Alonso is keen to emphasize that past achievements are no guarantee of future success.

“Last year was really nice… but we’re starting from scratch again,” he said. “We need to earn everything again. We need to win our points and for that we need good performances.”

Bayern, under new coach Vincent Kompany, have bolstered their squad with several high-profile signings, including Michael Olise, Joao Palhinha, and Hiroki Ito. Leverkusen, on the other hand, have maintained a relatively stable roster, with the exception of the departure of Moussa Diaby to Manchester United.

Despite their impressive unbeaten run in Germany since May 2023, Alonso is wary of the challenges that lie ahead. “We know every game will be difficult — and that will be the case against Gladbach,” he said.

Leverkusen’s title-winning campaign was built on a solid defense and a potent attack led by Patrik Schick and Florian Wirtz. However, they will face a stern test against a Gladbach side that has strengthened its squad with the addition of Marcus Thuram from Borussia Monchengladbach.

Alonso will be without Argentina midfielder Exequiel Palacios for the trip to Gladbach due to a knee injury. However, the rest of his squad is available for selection as Leverkusen aim to start the new season with a positive result.

Bayern Munich Thrash Ulm 4-0 in German Cup Opener

Bayern Munich Thrash Ulm 4-0 in German Cup Opener

By August 17, 2024 0

Bayern Munich, under the guidance of new manager Vincent Kompany, made a resounding start to their German Cup campaign with a 4-0 victory over second-division Ulm on Friday. The match marked the first competitive fixture of the German football season.

Thomas Mueller, the veteran Bayern striker, was the star of the show, scoring twice in the first half. His first goal came in the 12th minute, when he tapped in a pass from Joshua Kimmich. Just three minutes later, Mueller doubled Bayern’s lead, tucking in a cross from Serge Gnabry.

Bayern continued to dominate the match in the second half, and they extended their lead in the 79th minute. Kingsley Coman, who had come on as a substitute, turned in a pass from new signing Michael Olise. Harry Kane, another substitute, added a fourth goal in injury time, his first German Cup goal.

The victory was a welcome boost for Bayern, who failed to win a trophy last season, their first trophyless campaign since 2012. Kompany, who was appointed as manager in the summer, will be hoping to lead Bayern back to success this season.

Earlier on Friday, first-division sides Mainz, St Pauli, and Hoffenheim each beat lower league opposition to progress past the first round of the German Cup. Defending German Cup holders Bayer Leverkusen will be in action in the DFL Supercup at home against Stuttgart on Saturday night.
