Recently, Bayern chairman Dresen talked about his views on Kimmich and Kompany and the intensive schedule of the new season's Champions League in an interview with Sport Bild.
"Kimmich is a very outstanding person. He goes all out in every game and is sometimes even too ambitious. Kompany has long made it clear that he will rely on Kimmich. I think Kimmich feels very comfortable in Munich. Everything else will gradually become clear in the conversation with Eberl and Freund."
"We shouldn't limit Kompany's level to just his performance in England last season. Before that, he easily won promotion to the Premier League with an incredible 101 points and an excellent goal difference with his aggressive style of football."
"Kompany is a versatile coach who has played at the highest level in a top team like Manchester City and served as captain under Guardiola and learned a lot."
"Our players have played at the highest level themselves, so they respect that. Kompany brings some positive things to our players: he injects energy into them, and he knows what is most important and gives them a hug when things are not going well."
"Kane not only scored 36 goals in the Bundesliga last season, but also scored 8 goals in the Champions League and contributed a lot of assists. He is a '360-degree all-around striker' who can think about his teammates, rather than an 'egomaniac' who only waits for the pass in the frontcourt."
"He will get back on defense and be very helpful to the team. Kane is one of the best strikers of his time, of course, he was not in good form at the end of the season and against Real Madrid. ”
"But by then he already had back problems, so he was substituted off and then missed the last two games of the season through injury. I'm sure that a healthy Kane will score several very important goals for us this season. No one wants the championship more than Kane."
"Technically, we have the ability to provide content to fans around the world. We used the pre-season to test whether we could start marketing our games directly. This move was very successful and we doubled the number of subscribers to Bayern Munich TV."
"Of course, we are part of the central marketing department of the DFL. Marketing in Germany in the future is not our idea. But this is a starting point. We can continue to broadcast Bayern all over the world, perhaps in international TV markets where the DFL has not yet signed a contract with the Bundesliga. "
"This is also the result of the aborted investor process of the DFL, because the DFL wanted to build its own streaming platform and provide B2C (business to customer) services, but this requires a lot of money. Where does this money come from? We don't want to rely on others. We will invest and continue to promote our own platform so that if there is a problem, we can do it ourselves. ”
“Everyone has his own style. What I can say is that Kompany wants to play high-pressure, aggressive football, which will not only attract the fans but also achieve success. You have already seen this in the first game. If we can stabilize this style of play, I am full of hope for the new season.”
“I have no doubts about the new competition system, but it is undeniable that we must adapt to two points: playing against 8 different opponents in the league stage, not two rounds. Of course, we hope to qualify directly. The grouping in the league stage has determined the matchup in the quarter-finals. ”
“Regarding Guardiola’s criticism, I have a different opinion. I’m sure Guardiola doesn’t want Manchester City to participate in the play-offs. If they qualify directly for the quarter-finals, it means that a total of 15 games are needed to win the championship, which is two more than the old system. ”
“The Premier League has 20 clubs, which means they have four more rounds than the Bundesliga, we have a cup competition and English teams have two competitions to participate in, so their overall workload is greater.”
“It’s exciting to have the 12 best clubs in Europe competing against clubs from all over the world, and as for the pressure, the Club World Cup only comes every four years.”
“Of course, in addition to the sporting incentives, the tournament has to be financially worth participating in, because if ideally you’re touring abroad four weeks before the final, the costs will be higher and you may have to have a bigger squad.”
“In the second half of this year, we’ve also reached an agreement with the Supervisory Board.”
