"Asked about Urbig's potential to be No.1 ahead of Bayern's Bundesliga clash against VFL Wolfsburg, Kompany refuses to get ahead of himself: "At the moment, I see the combination of Manu and Jonas as ideal, also for Jonas's development," Kompany said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "Manu has already helped Jonas a lot. Jonas has also already played some very important games, in the Champions League and the cup. We've shown that we have faith in Jonas. How the future will unfold isn't on my mind right now. The way things are going now is perfect.""
"There is no need to rush. Even Neuer only became Bayern's starting goalkeeper at 24. Urbig will get his time. It is just important for the process to be measured and completed appropriately rather than as quick as possible."
Jonas Urbig is approaching his first year at Bayern Munich after joining from FC Köln. He has featured in Bundesliga, Champions League and DFB Pokal matches, gaining experience in high-level games. Head coach Vincent Kompany describes the pairing of Manuel Neuer and Urbig as ideal for Urbig's development and cites Neuer's mentoring and Urbig's appearances in important matches as evidence of the club's faith. Kompany refuses to speculate on Urbig becoming the long-term No.1 and prioritizes a measured development path. The club plans to avoid rushing Urbig, noting Neuer secured Bayern's starting role at 24.
