Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany emphasizes the significance of facing PSG, the reigning Champions League winners, ahead of their Club World Cup match. He acknowledges PSG's impressive development and his team's need to perform well as a complete unit. Kompany downplays statistical considerations, focusing instead on principles and teamwork as vital for success. While uncertain about Jamal Musiala's starting status, he confirms that the young player has been training and is improving. Kompany reflects on a previous encounter with PSG, underlining the objective of winning and advancing in the tournament.
"PSG are the reigning Champions League winners. They're a strong opponent and have had big success recently. I expect them to be at their best (on Saturday). It's a big challenge for us; I always like playing against the best opponents. That's why we're here."
"Tactics can always change, but in such big games, it's all about principles. We won the last game against PSG, but it was a close match. We want to win; that's all that matters."
"I don't look at numbers and statistics. I understand how everything can be perceived, but we have to do the work first. We can talk about favourites, but ultimately it's about a team that will emerge victorious."
"It's important to be 100% mentally fit. Fortunately, we still have him at the tournament after he was subbed off against Boca. We'll see what his role will be tomorrow."
