Coach Vincent Kompany made important statements during Bayern Munich's special press conference ahead of the match against Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga, where he talked about the team's readiness, the condition of the injured players, his opinion on the opponent, and the team's goals until the end of the year.

Kompany said about Stuttgart and striker Deniz Undav: "I know Undav; he is a forward who can always score, very smart, and dangerous on counterattacks. Stuttgart is not an easy opponent, but we always have to solve things collectively. Playing away against them is always tough, and although we won the recent encounters, those were complicated matches. If we perform at our best, we can win, but we know exactly what awaits us."

Kompany added regarding the team's goals before the end of the year: "I will be happy if we achieve four victories, that is clear. My biggest focus is on that. We wanted to continue in all competitions through the winter, and we succeeded. Now we want to win the remaining matches. We experienced wonderful moments in 2025, and we want to continue that and make 2026 even better."

Kompany continued talking about the winter break: "The family is happy to have a rest period, and I also enjoy it. In England, the situation was different. A balance must be found for the players between readiness and recovery. We have a squad capable of competing in all tournaments."

He continued discussing the team's ability to win tough matches: "I always want us to feel that we are not better than these tough matches. They are beautiful victories. In the first half against June, there was creativity, and in the second half, different things were asked. Winning does not always come from beautiful play, and the players delivered that."

Regarding the players' condition, Kompany said: "Alphonso Davies is very close, but tomorrow's match is still too soon for him, and he will return soon. As for Jamal Musiala, the period is still a bit longer, but we are optimistic, and I hope he returns to training before Christmas to make 2026 a good year for him."

Kompany concluded his statements about Alexander Pavlovic's injury, saying: "He was substituted, but the initial news is good, and he may return to training in the coming days. It is not serious, and we will see if he participates tomorrow."
