dailyloe.com – Bayern Munich face a tricky Bundesliga away match against SC Freiburg this Saturday. This comes just days before their crucial Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid. Manager Vincent Kompany has emphasized his squad’s complete focus is on the immediate league task.
Kompany stated this match is among the most difficult away fixtures in the Bundesliga. He demands every player reaches their top level and delivers maximum performance. The Belgian coach warned his team to show Freiburg the highest respect.
Historical statistics heavily favor Bayern in this fixture. The Munich club has lost only one of the last 45 meetings against Freiburg. That sole defeat came in May 2015 when Bayern were already confirmed as champions.
Kompany has a nearly full squad available for selection. Only Harry Kane is out with an ankle injury, while Nicolas Jackson is suspended. Key players Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies are fit and ready for minutes after recovering from injuries.
The coach clarified there is no longer the luxury of extensive squad rotation. He stated the team simply must win. Every available player is now required to contribute at their best.
Kompany directly addressed potential distractions from the upcoming Real Madrid match. He assured everyone that this week’s preparation was solely focused on Freiburg. The manager acknowledged people might think they would prioritize the European clash.
Bayern’s demanding schedule requires navigating two high-stakes matches in quick succession. Success in Freiburg is vital for domestic momentum. It also sets the tone for their European campaign in Madrid next Tuesday.[]
