"I think the secret behind Bayern's success this season is that the head coach, Vincent Kompany, is doing very, very well with the team. Before the season, Bayern Munich weren't doing so well in the transfer market and the squad is not particularly big. We have to be honest: it's looking really dangerous if the injury list gets any bigger!"
"The Oktoberfest can be a bit of a dangerous situation for players, as you can drink a lot there! But this shows how focused the team is because, I think, since this year, I've never seen the players so often together at the Oktoberfest - but no one was really drunk! It was just an event that really spoke of the Bayern Munich team spirit."
Vincent Kompany's coaching has unified Bayern Munich with simple structure and consistent positions, driving strong on-field performances. The squad size and poor transfer activity left the team thin, increasing vulnerability if injuries accumulate. Kompany prioritised a clear system so the same players regularly occupy identical roles. Team cohesion extends off the pitch, shown by frequent, sober group appearances at Oktoberfest and shared rituals like visiting the Schützenzelt. Players bought mystery stickers; Joshua Kimmich chose a radler and joked about a sticker reading "I love beer". Harry Kane received a risqué sticker referencing local slang for chicken.
