"We always say that there are no easy Bundesliga matches. They have a new coach, which brings a certain variability to the game. In terms of football, they haven't played that badly; they just haven't scored enough goals. If you look at the overall picture, they haven't performed as badly as you might think. They're a good team that, when the confidence is there, is difficult to play against in every aspect. When the opponent has a new coach, you have to be tactically flexible and pay even more attention to your strengths,"
"I'm very focused on ourselves and in a tunnel vision. It doesn't matter what happens in the other games. In our minds the competition is winning every game, and then we have to win every game too. I'm 100% in that tunnel vision and I hope the team is, too,"
"Manuel Neuer will start."
Werder Bremen have been without a win since November 7 but remain a capable side that can be difficult to play against when confident. A new coach has introduced variability and tactical unpredictability, and Bremen have struggled to convert performances into goals. Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany emphasises a tunnel-vision focus on his own squad and the necessity of winning each match. Kompany stressed tactical flexibility against teams with new coaches and confirmed that Manuel Neuer will start in goal, meaning Jonas Urbig will not feature this weekend.
