"The Club World Cup helped in the integration of new players. There is this feeling that players like Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof have been here longer. Maybe it has to do with the fact that we were living together for an entire month. We don't really know how the Club World Cup will influence the season, but we stayed together for a month and that is rare for a club. If we can use that, then we will."
"To grow more together we have to win against Hoffenheim. We are playing well, scoring goals and have worked hard to deserve this momentum. We have to keep working in order to maintain this."
Bayern Munich have won their first three Bundesliga matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding two, marking a fourth consecutive season they began 3-0 — the longest run in the competition. Bayern reached the Club World Cup quarter-finals and spent a month living together, a factor Kompany credits with faster integration of newcomers such as Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof. Bayern also beat Chelsea 3-1 in the Champions League, with Harry Kane scoring twice to reach 21 Champions League goals for both Bayern and Tottenham. Full-back Josip Stanisic suffered a knee injury and is not expected to return until the October international break; Kompany expects the team to cope and stresses the need to beat Hoffenheim to maintain momentum.
