'Shoulder to shoulder with Guardiola': Kompany's Munich hits milestone in 11 years
Blog Article
Bayern Munich, led by Vincent Kompany, is off to a good start with a 10-game unbeaten run in the league. It will match Pep Guardiola's record 11 years ago.
Munich won 1-0 over Jeankt Pauli in the 10th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-25 season at 11:30 p.m. on the 9th (Korea time) at Milentor Stadion in Jeankt Pauli, Germany.
Munich defeated Jean-Cette Pauli with Jamal Musiala's "Wonder Goal" and Kim Min-jae's "Iron Wall Defense." Munich, which added three more points with the victory, successfully widened the gap with second-place RB Leipzig to five points.
Last season, Munich had its worst season. It had failed to win the title for 12 consecutive years, dedicating the title to Bayer Leverkusen under coach Xavi Alonso. Munich's leadership also struggled to judge the severity of the race and find the next coach. However, the team considered a wide range of candidates including Alonso to replace Tuchel, but was rejected each time, facing an unexpected difficult situation. In the end, Munich appointed a 38-year-old young Kompany.
There were also concerns over Kompany. Kompany, who led Burnley in the English Premier League last season, was demoted due to his revealed tactical limitations. And most of all, there were concerns over whether it would be appropriate for Kompany, who was leading a team in the lower ranks of the PL, to take the helm of Munich, which aims to win the league every year.
However, Coach Kompany has succeeded in dispelling such concern. Munich is cruising smoothly in the league based on its strong offense and solid defense. Currently, Munich has scored 33 goals in the Bundesliga, showing off its powerful firepower following FC Barcelona (40 goals) among the four major European leagues, and by allowing only seven goals in the league led by Kim Min-jae and Dayo Upamecano, the team also succeeded in normalizing its defense. 메이저놀이터
Kompany is on par with Guardiola. Munich under Kompany has scored 26 points (eight wins and two draws) in 10 matches since the opening of the league. According to the soccer statistics media "Opta," Kompany is the third coach to achieve this time, following Branco Zebetts in 1968 and Guardiola in 2013.
Munich will play Augsburg in the 11th round of the Bundesliga on November 23 and Paris Saint-Germain in the fifth UCL league phase on November 27. Attention is focusing on whether Munich, which is on a high march, will be able to complete its November schedule well.
