"Even Vincent Kompany and his team aren't spared from the strike-related travel disruption affecting the DFB Cup quarter-final at the Allianz Arena. "We'll certainly travel to the stadium earlier as well," revealed the coach in Tuesday's pre-match press conference. At the same time, he hopes "the performance is worth it for our fans who make the effort to come to the stadium"."
""Because we're playing at home, because it's a cup game and because the game is just an absolute must for us, I want to feel that we're delivering what we can deliver," demanded Kompany. The Belgian has already guided his side to two thumping wins over Leipzig in the Bundesliga this season, but the Bavarians are unlikely to have it so easy this time against the two-time cup winners."
""We have to be prepared for everything. In the cup you don't win every match 4-0 or 5-0 - something always happens," warned the head coach, who doesn't need to give his team any extra motivation, however. "We're really fired up for it," said Aleksandar Pavlović. "It's difficult to put into words how up for this game I am. It's the same for everyone else in the team.""
