At 21:30 on September 20, in the 4th round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga, Bayern will play away against Hoffenheim. Before the game, Bayern coach Kompany attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About left-back

- Let's look at the specific plan tomorrow. After Stanisic was injured, we don't have many choices. As for Guerrero's situation, we want to see how he recovers today, he has not participated in training this week. Stanisic's injury should not be too serious, it may be only in the short term, and we will use existing players to solve the problem.

About Remer's status

—Lemer has been performing stably for a long time, making our lineup more flexible. He played well on both sides and I think he got better on the defensive end, and he was used to the position. With his game intensity, he did a lot of things, and so did offense. What you need to notice at all times is that it’s not just Lemmer, the entire team performs well.

About Stanisic's absence

-He will miss several games and we hope he can get back to health after international matches.

About Alfonso-Davis

-These are long-term injuries and require time to recover, and I will not put any pressure on him. We will give him time, and so will Musiara and Ito Yohiko. Will

Urbich get his next chance to play soon?

- This is not an issue I want to discuss in the press conference, and I want the team to focus as much as possible on the game against Hoffenheim. We are very confident in Urbich and we believe in his future, but I want to win the game against Hoffenheim first and focus on that.

About Boy

—About the size of the team, I have made it clear: for me, it is important that every player here is full of confidence. Without exception, Boy is one of them, and he performed very well against Chelsea. I focus on the team, not on the individual players.

About the impact of the Club World Cup on the team

- Long-term cooperation will undoubtedly help the integration of new players. Now we feel like players like Bischov and Jonatan Ta have been here for longer because we have lived together for a month. Finally, we conducted a one-month-long training camp-like activity – how effective we will see in the next few months. However, as far as our development is that we are going to beat Hoffenheim now. We scored a lot of goals, but we have to keep working hard – keeping that momentum.

About Hoffenheim

-Apart from Stanisic, we have no new casualties, but there are risks in this game. Hoffenheim won the friendly match, won the Cup, and has been performing well. They will also think: Now is the time! We are enjoying the game now and in good shape, so our attitude towards Hoffenheim will not be any different from that against Chelsea. We need to look at the physical condition of the players and see how they are in, but underestimating the opponent is absolutely not possible, which is the biggest danger. Our players are experienced and have experienced this situation many times before, so I believe we won't underestimate our opponents.

About Oktoberfest

—Whether it is an Oktoberfest or not, life will not change if we want to perform well. Of course, the atmosphere in Munich is very special at this time, and we can all feel it. But I also have confidence in these moments, the players are no longer kids, some people even already have their own kids and they know what to do.

About the oppressive style of the team

-You cannot improve directly through radical changes, but only through learning. If the team succeeds, they will work hard to achieve and implement this in the next game. If the opponent is worth our contraction of defense, we can do it too. If not, we will – we will always be there! The same goes for the game against Chelsea, and we performed particularly well.

About Neuer

-I saw his performance in training and competitions, and his level was excellent. I only considered him as an opponent before, but since we worked together, I have found his form has improved almost every week. He has won all the honors in his career. So, for me, it's important that he can enjoy the game. At certain stages of your career, you won't be stressed. It was like this at the beginning: Leonard Carl was not stressed because he was a young player.

And when you have won everything like Neuer, there will be no more pressure - no one can take away your honor, and you don't need to prove anything to anyone. But his mentality may be different, and he still wants to prove himself, but Neuer has a feeling of ease and ease. It was a combination of 100% concentration and total relaxation, which I felt at the end of my career. As a young player, you will go all out, but as you get older, you will follow your heart more and make decisions at critical moments, and now Neuer is at this stage.
