Vincent Kompany, head coach of Bayern Munich, expressed frustration over his team’s lackluster performance in their 1-0 defeat to SL Benfica during the FIFA Club World Cup. Despite creating numerous scoring opportunities in the second half, the Bavarians were unable to convert chances, leading to their downfall. Kompany highlighted the difficulties posed by the match conditions and admitted that the first half was particularly poor. Looking ahead, he prepared his team for a challenging Round of 16 against Flamengo, having avoided Chelsea.
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany lamented a slow start and poor finishing as the Bavarians went down 1-0 to SL Benfica in its final group stage match at the FIFA Club World Cup. The game saw the German record champions go down early and the Portuguese Premier League runner-ups stubbornly keep the advantage, despite a raft of substitutions from Kompany after a heavily rotated XI.
Kompany said, "The first half wasn't good at all. The conditions made sure the game wasn't fluid. In the second half we created a lot of chances and missed a lot of 1v1's. That's football, you have to take your chances," emphasizing the team's need to capitalize on opportunities.
In his post-match comments, Kompany stated, "It was either Flamengo or Chelsea. Difficult game either way. We have to prepare well and take the momentum from the second half today," indicating his focus on improving for the future knockout stage.
