"It's good pressure. At the end of the season, we'd like to have this pressure again, even more. We want to put in a good performance and win - we're prepared for anything, for 90 minutes or another 30. It's positive pressure. Of course I want to return to Berlin [for the final] after the game. You can always say you want to win everything - but it takes work and attitude. If we show tomorrow how hungry we are for the final, then we have a good chance."
"We started the season by scoring three goals in the first twenty minutes. It was to be expected that would change. But going behind is something we're working on, putting a greater focus on. I still think it's normal circumstances, but if it starts to become a pattern, we'll have to work on breaking through that. But the last twenty games we've usually led 3-0 after 20 minutes; that's been the case much more often."
"It's looking good. Everyone who was available against St. Pauli is ready for tomorrow. Alphonso Davies is close to making his comeback, but not for tomorrow yet,"
Bayern Munich meets Union Berlin in the DFB-Pokal after a November 2-2 draw that revealed vulnerabilities. Vincent Kompany believes the team can reproduce the late-match energy shown against Union and St. Pauli and stresses readiness for a physical knockout contest. Kompany wants the players to show hunger, work, and attitude to reach the final in Berlin. A key concern is conceding first in multiple recent matches, which the team is addressing. Squad availability is positive; players who featured against St. Pauli are ready and Alphonso Davies is close to returning but not available yet.
