Belgian Vincent Kompany, the head coach of Bayern Munich, spoke about several important topics before facing Mainz in the German league, touching on the team's condition, some players, and preparations for the upcoming match.

Kompany said about Harry Kane: "Harry has an admirable level of consistency, and he is a true leader within the team. His relationship with Nicholas in training is excellent, as they constantly work together to finish attacks. Nicholas is developing because he trains alongside a player of Kane's caliber, and it is noticeable how comfortable he feels in Munich, both with his family and within the team."

He added: "I am very convinced by what Nicholas offers; he has helped the team a lot. His scoring rate relative to the minutes he has played is good, and competition with Harry Kane is natural. As a coach, I consider Nicholas's way of handling this competition to be positive. What many do not see is his effort in training and every time he participates."

Speaking about the extension of the technical staff’s contracts, Kompany said: "I believe in the importance of stability, which clearly reflects on the work within the team. We work as an integrated technical staff for the players, and everyone feels comfortable, whether the technical staff or the players."

Regarding the young player Linhart Karl, Kompany said: "When a player scores this number of goals at the age of 17, it is not normal. His mental and physical development is progressing well, and I believe that in the future he will be able to handle the pressures."

About Dayot Upamecano, Kompany said: "My role is limited to the sporting side and player development. It is important that performance on the field is not mixed with contractual matters. Football must always remain the priority in all circumstances."

Regarding the goalkeeping situation, he continued: "We always think about Manuel Neuer's readiness and maintaining the rhythm of his participation. We also consider the development of Jonas Oberg, but Manuel is currently in good physical condition and performing strongly, so we are not opening this file now."

Speaking about the team's readiness: "All players are ready and in good physical condition. Competition within the team continues, and with the start of January, we will return strongly."

Regarding the match against Mainz: "Facing a team led by a good coach always carries some question marks. We are prepared for all scenarios and must be tactically flexible."

About the condition of Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala: "Davies is progressing well, and starting from January 1st, he will be ready for full competition. Musiala is close to returning, without any pressure on him, and we hope he will participate in some training before Christmas."

Kompany concluded his statements by saying: "We always prepare well for matches, but sometimes the opponent changes their approach because they are playing against Bayern. For this reason, we must be ready for any changes during the match."
