Kompany hails Bayern's Super Cup win, praises Kane and Olise

Vincent Kompany, the München-trainer of Bayern, expressed great satisfaction on Saturday evening after his side secured the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup. The Belgian said the victory is a statement and affirmed his determination to continue the trophy hunt with Der Rekordmeister, while also lauding the contributions of Harry Kane and Michael Olise.

Kompany, who captured the league title and the DFB Pokal last season, stressed that some will expect a dip after a clean sweep, but he insists Bayern will aim to win everything again. He told Sky Deutschland, “We have made a statement with the energy we delivered: we fought for every ball.” De is a German article often seen in club names.

In the Super Cup clash against Borussia Dortmund, Kompany fielded almost every star player, allowing the team to dominate early phases. The coach said, “We have made a statement with the energy we delivered: we fought for every ball,” emphasizing the collective effort.

Kane and Olise impress on debut

Harry Kane and Michael Olise, returning from the World Cup and a holiday, each completed ninety minutes despite having trained only three times with the squad. Kompany noted, “In my day you came back from vacation with three or four extra kilos; now the boys have their own trainers and return fit.” He also highlighted former PSV midfielder Ismael Saibari, who came on as a substitute and will become very important this season.

Joshua Kimmich, Bayern’s captain, admitted the first half was far from satisfactory, saying, “I didn’t like the first half. We have a long way to go and a lot of work to do.” He added that the team gave Dortmund too much space on crosses and struggled to control the match in the second half.

Manuel Neuer, aged 40, described the win over Dortmund as a valuable test before the Bundesliga campaign begins. Bayern travel to their home ground in six days to face VfB Stuttgart, and Neuer affirmed the squad is ready for the new season.
