Not even a third of the season has passed, and Bayern Munich already seems to be embracing the Bundesliga trophy. Under the guidance of Vincent Kompany, the Bavarian giant has made a surprisingly strong start, winning eight out of ten league matches and building a five-point lead over second-placed RB Leipzig.🗣️ Uli Hoeneß on Vincent Kompany: “It’s a difference like day and night compared to before. He is communicative and cares about his players. But we didn’t know that before. That’s why we called Pep Guardiola and asked him for advice. He just told us that we can take him… pic.twitter.com/X1bVk5WBSi— Football Talk (@FootballTalkHQ) November 22, 2024 The performances of the team under its new coach have been so impressive that Uli Hoeness, the honorary president and member of Bayern’s supervisory board, is already convinced after just ten rounds that Bayern will claim the title. Speaking at a forum organized by the German newspaper Finanz und Wirtschaft on Thursday evening, Hoeneß stated that the championship is practically “guaranteed,” without even mentioning Dortmund as a rival in the title race.”What I can promise is the title. We are currently in a wonderful position. We are at the top of the table. And our only real rivals, Leverkusen and Leipzig, are far behind us, When I played, we were happiest when we won the championship. But today, if you say before the season that you want to become German champions, people say, ‘Wow, that’s boring” Hoeness said.He’s going nowhere! Musiala set to extend with BayernBayern’s supremo compared the current season under Kompany to previous ones.”It’s like night and day. He is communicative and takes care of his players, but we didn’t know that before he arrived. That’s why we called Pep Guardiola and asked for advice. He told us we could hire him blindly, that he was the right man” said Hoeness.Perhaps the most sought-after player with an expiring contract – Juve should beware of BayernDespite reports in some German media, Hoeness claims he does not interfere in the work of the club’s sporting directors, Max Eberl and Christoph Freund.”Only when the opportunity arises. If they have a question, they can always contact me; my door is always open. But they have to do their jobs. People say I make all the decisions, but that’s nonsense. You only get good employees if you let them work.”Matthaus: Give Musiala a blank check, let him write his own contract – like MessiHoeness also commented on the increasingly demanding football schedule.”Our sport won’t last much longer like this. If things continue this way, players will simply no longer be able to cope. The pressure must come from us, the clubs, and the players. I understand why players are beginning to ignore national team call-ups out of fear of injury. We have to participate in the Club World Cup because we, as Bayern, cannot afford otherwise. In England, it’s even worse. They have even more competitions. It’s crazy. All of this just to pour more money into agents and players. This cannot go on,” Hoeness concluded.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 11Friday22:30: (1.12) Bayern (10.0) Augsburg (16.0)Saturday17:30: (1.70) Dortmund (3.90) Freiburg (5.40)17:30: (3.35) Hoffenheim (3.75) RB Leipzig (2.15)17:30: (1.22) Leverkusen (7.25) Heidenheim (15.0)17:30: (1.30) Stuttgart (5.90) Bochum (9.00)17:30: (2.25) Wolfsburg (3.45) Union Berlin (3.45)20:30: (1.72) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.80) Werder (4.80)Sunday17:30: (3.00) Holstein Kiel (3.40) Mainz (2.35)19:30: (1.82) M’ gladbach (3.50) St.Pauli (4.50)***odds are subject to change***
