"I don't want to compare myself to Pep because that's impossible; it's a losing battle."
""And I can understand that better because I was a player myself and experienced relegations and titles - it's like a rollercoaster," Kompany explained, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "From that experience, I know it will come down to the players. Therefore, such a record is completely irrelevant to me.""
Josep Guardiola's 2013 Bayern side won the Bundesliga with 90 points, lost only two games, and sealed the title in March. That team collected 45 points in its first 17 Bundesliga matches and later reached 46 points in the first half of 2014/15. Current Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany has 44 points after 16 games; a win in the next match could take the team to 47 points, surpassing Guardiola's debut tally. Kompany rejected comparisons with Guardiola as impossible and said the achievement would come down to the players. Players may pursue the record but the immediate priority remains securing three points toward the title.
