Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany is having quite a week.
With a new contract extension in his back pocket, the Belgian boss is now being showered with compliments from, well, everyone…including
Club Brugge.
When told that officials from Club Brugge said that Bayern Munich will be the team’s most difficult UCL League Phase opponent, Kompany said he was not about to be sweet-talked.
“Well, I hope they’re right (laughs). But I’m realistic enough to know that nothing is decided beforehand. Brugge can hurt us too. We certainly won’t underestimate them,” Kompany told HLN (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
As far his new deal goes, Kompany is a creature of comfort.
“It’s a choice for continuity and calm. I didn’t want to let it drag on too long and wanted to make a quick decision. I’ve been in top-level sports since I was 17, these are moments that matter. But the priority remains to focus on the next match,” said Kompany.
Bayern Munich looked pretty tired by the end of its 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund and now must quickly rebound for a Champions League showdown with Belgian power Club Brugge.
On paper, Bayern Munich figures to be a heavy favorite, but Club Brugge has been tough in the Champions League so far. Is Bayern Munich ripe for an upset?
