Vincent Kompany has had a dreamy start to the season with Bayern Munich so far. Three Bundesliga triumphs and a maximum of nine points with an 11-3 goal difference, as well as the utmost convincing beginning of the Champions League campaign with a crushing 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb – what more could the Belgian wish for?Hence, it’s no wonder the 38-year-old tactician was cheerful at the pre-match press conference ahead of the duel in Bremen against Werder. Ole Werner’s squad is undefeated in the initial three rounds, held out to a goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund, but today (16.30), they are up for the most challenging task.Vincent Kompany on the upcoming Oktoberfest: “We want to experience the culture, also as a family. Oktoberfest is very important, not just for the people of Munich. We’re looking forward to it but for the next 24 hours it’s only about Werder.”[FCB] #SVWFCB pic.twitter.com/3XJYKho5Fi— Bayern News world (@BayernNewsw) September 20, 2024 Still, apart from referring to the next rival, Kompany touched on the renowned beer festival in Munich, Oktoberfest, in which Bayern’s players traditionally appear wearing authentic German lederhosen.”The Oktoberfest is important for the players’ families to experience a bit of Munich and Bavaria’s culture. The festival is important for a lot of people. We are looking forward to it, and we will join in. The day before is all about our game at Werder Bremen, but then we will witness some Bavarian culture,” Kompany said, as reported by The Sun.Kompany: My father came as a refugee to Belgium – why should I not believe in myself!? Kane: We wanted to score 11 goals!However, he couldn’t avoid the questions about whether he’d allow his players to knock back a few beers and which beers were better, German or Belgian.”Drinking beer is all part of it. If the players want to have a beer on Sunday I’ve got no problem with it. Of course I’ll sometimes have a beer myself. I’m from Belgium, and the beer there is something special. A competition between Bavarian and Belgian beers would be at a pretty high level. I’ve never been to the Oktoberfest before, but I was in Munich with Manchester City while the festival was on. It was difficult even for City to find a hotel for our stay,” stated Kompany.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 4FridayAugsburg – Mainz 2-3 (1-2)/Schlotterbeck 25, Essende 57 – Sieb 13, Burkardt 15, 49/Saturday16:30: (2.00) Bochum (3.50) Holstein Kiel (3.70)16:30: (2.85) Heidenheim (3.50) Freiburg (2.60)16:30: (2.15) Union Berlin (3.50) Hoffenheim (3.60)16:30: (7.75) Werder (5.10) Bayern (1.37)19:30: (1.80) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.70) M’ gladbach (4.40)Sunday16:30: (1.33) Leverkusen (5.90) Wolfsburg (9.50)18:30: (2.40) Stuttgart (3.70) Dortmund (3.00)20:30: (5.60) St.Pauli (3.70) RB Leipzig (1.65)***odds are subject to change***
