Bayern in focus: Kompany defends trip to Ibiza – Sané causes trouble!
Some of the FC Bayern Munich professionals recently celebrated the championship title in Ibiza, which led to public criticism. Coach Vincent Kompany commented on the trip and called for an objective view of the situation. He firmly rejected the accusation of distortion of competition in the Bundesliga relegation battle. He also stressed the need to be more objective in the discussion of players' journeys so as not to give the wrong impression.
The Ibiza trip ended on Tuesday morning and 14 players, including captain Manuel Neuer and goalscorer Harry Kane, were in attendance. Kompany showed understanding for the public criticism, but believes that it is important to evaluate sporting performance. The next game will take place on Saturday against TSG Hoffenheim, who are currently 15th in the table. with only three points ahead of the relegation place.
Criticism and upcoming challenges
FC Bayern face Hoffenheim after the team had little time to prepare in their Champions League exit against Inter Milan four weeks ago, but still won 4-0. Kompany is hoping for a positive sporting reaction from his players against Hoffenheim, especially in view of the championship celebrations that are planned immediately after the game.
After the game, an internal club celebration will be held, followed by a presentation of the championship team on the town hall balcony in Munich on Sunday from 1:30 p.m. The FC Bayern women's team will also be present in this festive atmosphere.
Contractual questions and unexpected trips
Another point of contention concerns Leroy Sané, whose contract expires on June 30th. He has not yet accepted an offer to extend his contract and caused further excitement when he took an unexpected trip to Monaco for a charity dinner. Both Kompany and sports director Eberl were surprised by this trip and announced that they would talk about it internally.
FC Bayern is also trying to keep Eric Dier, who is moving to AS Monaco on a free transfer, for the upcoming Club World Cup from mid-June to mid-July. The coming weeks promise both sporting and organizational challenges for the record champions.
