Kompani: Boateng can become a top coach, if everything goes well, Kim Min-jae can play in Bremen

At 2:30 am on September 27, in the 5th round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga, Bayern will play against Bremen at home. Before the game, Bayern coach Kompany attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About the team's current performance

-You can never be sure whether your performance will decline, and that's the charm of football: you have to go all out against possible declines or downs during the season.

About Kane

- I see that he is still eager to win awards, and he can do that at Bayern. He has always been a shooter, but I think his game style is more open-minded – he pulls back, interspers between the lines… Ultimately, it allows him to get out of the attention of the defenders. That's how he grew up and he became the leader of the team.

About Bremen

- Under the guidance of the new coach, you can immediately see the team's new style. They try to dominate and organize their offenses quickly through the middle lane – few teams can do so. This is largely related to coaching. I like the coaches who know the low-level league and succeed in it, and he is one of them.

About Kimmich

—When a player plays so many games like Kimmich, it means he is important. For me personally, he is the most important player on the team in that position. We never talked about this, he was one of the best midfielders last season and he would keep it going.

About the team's injury situation

-If everything goes well, Urbich will play again against Frankfurt. Time may be tight, but he is a fighter, so I trust him.

About Rummenig's 70th birthday

—I am deeply honored to be able to work in a club with many outstanding people. Having such an important consultant was invaluable to me throughout my career. It is very important to learn from such people.

Regarding Urbich's replacement

-Urreich will now be the second gate, which is for sure.

Will Kim Min-jae go to Bremen?

-If all of his training goes well today, he can play in Bremen.

About Boateng's ambition to be a coach

- I knew Boateng when I was in Hamburg, and when we met, I was 20 years old, he was 18 or 19 years old, and we also played together at Manchester City. If you saw him at the time, no one would have thought he would be so successful, of course, he could be a top coach-if he worked hard. When you are surrounded by excellent people, you can always do your best.

But this takes time. Will he join my coaching staff? I won't discuss this issue publicly, but he can do some internship for a few weeks first. Of course, as a Bayern legend, he will always be invited and we have good intentions.
