Vincent Kompany celebrated his 39th birthday on April 10, but perhaps it wasn't the best birthday for the Bayern Munich coach, as his team lost at home to Inter in the Champions League final that evening.
But it seems that Kompany has forgotten the loss to the Blues and is now asking the team to close the score in the Bundesliga and win the match that will be played this afternoon against Dortmund.
The Bavarians lead the Bundesliga by 6 points from second place, while Dortmund ranks in 8th place.
"Der Klassiker" has not lost its luster. Of course, the matches against Leverkusen this season were also special. But I grew up with Bayern against Dortmund or Bayern against Bremen, which are big matches. It's still like that today. Look at the moment of the season when these matches are. I think it's good that there is an extra pressure around these challenges, that they have become special. We have to instill the importance of the match in our performance," Kompany said.
Would a victory be the best way to forget Inter?
We don't see it as a loss, because we have the second leg to play. This classic against Dortmund has history between the two clubs. Last season's result in this match is an additional motivation for us. We don't lack motivation or energy, but we will also need the fans.
You are often criticized for your selection of starters. Are there any mistakes in the formation or is it a matter of interpretation on the part of the players?
That's how it is with any job. When you start a job somewhere, you always have to expect that there will be questions about experience. I see and move forward and based on my mind I also make decisions. The context of each match is important. Even for substitutions there are two sides of the coin and mistakes are part of every profession. There will always be thoughts about mistakes in the formation or substitutions, especially when you lose matches.
How important are the possible returns of Upamecano or Komani?
We are at a stage of the season where everything matters, every moment, every minute and moreover every player who can give us something more or something different. We cannot prioritize, everything is important and has its weight.
Will you consider the starting lineup for the return match in Milan?
We are Bayern and there is always talk of victory. Against Dortmund, Inter or anyone else. We know that it will not be easy with Borussia and even less with Inter, but we are a team that produces and scores, so we will try to live up to what we have shown so far.
Do you think you've lost a little solidity in defense?
We are playing against teams that know how to score. Borussia has players who can kill the game at any moment. We also have several chances every game so we have to be more specific. After all, games are won by scoring at least one more goal than the rivals.
