It can take a lot to surprise Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany, but his boys actually did just that in their 8-1 beatdown of VfL Wolfsburg.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not normal, it\u2019s not a given [to beat Wolfsburg 8-1]. We shouldn\u2019t forget that. The first half was really not easy. I already said before the game that Wolfsburg are strong going forward and don\u2019t need many chances to score – and that\u2019s exactly what we saw. But I had the feeling that when they get a bit tired, we\u2019d create even more chances \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what happened in the second half,\u201d Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia<\/a>). \u201cThere are moments when the score is 5-1, 6-1, 7-1, and yet the boys keep running, keep pressing, and keep trying to score even more goals. I really like that. I also like this mix, where the young players can come in and show what they can do, but we still don\u2019t lose that Bayern character. When it\u2019s a performance like this, there are of course several things you can be happy with, but we always have to be looking for ways to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n Kompany will always push his squad to get better, but it was good to know that even he could not have foreseen this kind of win over VfL Wolfsburg.<\/p>\n If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, Apple<\/a>, or any leading podcast distributor\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It can take a lot to surprise Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany, but his boys actually did…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[15988,403,99],"class_list":["post-402399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-bayern-munich-bundesliga","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=402399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
