Vincent Kompany sticking to plan for Bayern Munich ahead of Aston Villa tilt
FC Bayern has another test ahead in Aston Villa.
With Bayern Munich's recent 2-1 preseason win over Jeju SK under their belt, head coach Vincent Kompany has shifted his focus to the upcoming friendly against Aston Villa. Kompany emphasized that every substitution during the training session was meticulously planned to gradually increase players' playing time. While players like Lucho Díaz, Konrad Laimer, and Josip Stanišić are still adjusting to the squad, Kompany highlighted that the German internationals Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Itō, along with youngsters Tom Bischof and Arijon Ibrahimović, are now ready for a more intensive workload.
Although maintaining fitness remains the priority, Kompany clarified that Bayern Munich will not approach the match against Aston Villa as a mere training exercise. The coach stressed that the team aims to compete at a high level and build momentum before the start of the Bundesliga season. As Bayern Munich enters the final stages of preseason, striking a balance between managing playing time and maintaining a winning mindset will be essential for the team's success.
