EVENTFUL WORDS FROM KOMPANY: "I DON'T KNOW DORTMUND'S GAME"

Bayern Munich, one of the strong teams of the German Bundesliga, drew 2-2 with the Augsburg team it faced away in the tough week of the league. Technical director Vincent Kompany went before the press members right after the match in the Bavarian team, which left the pitch with only a single point. Upon the questions coming about their arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund in the championship race, the young coach made very striking, clear, and equally assertive statements. The Belgian technical man, who expressed very clearly that he was never interested in what their opponents did, emphasized that they were completely focused on the football their own team would exhibit and the results they would get. Turning to the journalists in that press conference, Kompany made that very assertive speech of his in the form of, "Let me be honest with you, I don't even know how Dortmund plays. When going to the match today, I didn't even know that Dortmund played yesterday. This has no meaning for me. At some point, we will face each other with them of course, and whatever the points show at the end of the season, that will be on the points table." The successful coach explained this state of extreme focus and winning mentality by giving examples from his football period. The young technical director, who referred to that incredible championship rivalry they experienced with the Liverpool team during the period he wore the jersey of the English Premier League representative Manchester City, continued his words with the same assertion. Kompany exhibited a clear attitude against his opponents by saying, "When I was playing at Manchester City, we entered into an incredible rivalry with the Liverpool team. Those great rivalries where 100, 99, 98 points were talked about... At that point, you never look at what your opponent does or how they play. You just mind your own business on the pitch. You have to keep going." These assertive words the successful coach uttered regarding the championship race found wide repercussions in the German sports press.
