Kompany: We could have scored more goals, Lennart Carr proved he can help the team

October 23rd, in the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Bayern defeated Club Brugge 4-0 at home. Bayern coach Kompany accepted an interview with the media after the game.

The team’s performance in this game

The team’s performance today was outstanding. We could have scored more goals and kept a clean sheet. It was a good home game and we saw a lot of action from the young players today and Lennart Carr proved in a big game that he can contribute but I'm not too keen on the hype and as long as he stays in shape he will get his chances throughout the season.

Karl's personal performance

He has been training with the team for 7 to 8 months and has gradually integrated into the team. He is an offensive threat on the field - this is the case in training and the same in warm-up matches. He took his chance today. I’m not going to put pressure on young players and don’t expect them to be key players right away, but he was pretty solid today.

Champions League standings situation

We know we cannot lose points today, after all, we have to face Paris and Arsenal next. All possible points must be earned. But I don’t think the top eight rankings will determine the Champions League title. The experience of Paris last season is proof. The same is true this season. This is not a key factor. The most important thing is to advance to the knockout stage, and today we took an important step.

Guerrero and Laimer switch positions

Guerrero and Laimer often swap wing positions. They can move in to participate in midfield organization, so the left and right foot problem is not as important as when they are on the wing. I put Laimer against Forbes and use the speed to play one-on-one. It doesn't matter who plays on the left or the right, they adapt easily.
