Kompany: It was a top match, and I don't concern myself with that

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany appeared in press statements after the 3-1 victory over Stuttgart in the 24th round of the Bundesliga.

The coach said: "It was a top match, playing here is not easy, I have never won here as a player before, but I enjoyed this victory because they were the better team at the start of the match. After that, we had a great chance in the first half, we developed in the match, and in the second half, we were more dangerous in many moments."

He added: "In the end, we defended strongly with Harry and Michael and the crucial interventions, and we showed a lot of character, which you need to win. We haven't won any titles yet, but we won this match, and we saw a lot of positive things, and the substitutes contributed and scored us a goal."

He continued: "As a group, we needed 30 minutes to find our rhythm in the match. After that, all the players improved, they were very important in the crucial moments, and they won many duels. Sometimes, the performance isn't pretty, but in the second half, Goretzka and Palinha improved, and we shouldn't forget that João hasn't started for a long time due to injury and illness, and he had bad luck, but today, we saw that we can always rely on our different options in the team."

He added: "I don't care about the criticism, I never concern myself with it. When you play a bad match, you have to accept the criticism; it's part of the game, especially when you have the highest standards. But if you stay calm, you can deliver your best performance in the next match, you can score goals, and you can turn things around, that's what we did. We played 3 matches in 6 days, and that's not an excuse, but at Bayern, there are no excuses, you just have to stay calm and prepare for the next match, and that's what the team did and will continue to do. That's what I've done throughout my career, and that will never change, no matter what happens.
