Bayern Munich will host Mainz at home in the 31st round of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season. Kompany said that his goal has always been to give players the opportunity to perform at their best, but the key lies in whether the players are eager to achieve the goal.

With Kane, Laimer, Kingsley Coman and Kimmich scoring, Bayern Munich defeated Heidenheim 4-0 in the last round of the league. After 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 rounds, Bayern Munich currently ranks first in the standings with 72 points, 8 points ahead of Leverkusen, the second place, and the championship situation is still fierce.

Looking back at the record of head-to-head matches, Bayern Munich lost to Mainz 1-2 away from home in the first round of this season thanks to Sane's goal in the second half.

Bayern Munich coach Kompany said at a press conference, "The players must be clear about what they need to prepare tactically and psychologically for each game. We lost to Mainz in the first round. From what I know about the team, their motivation must be very high, but we also need to focus on our own strengths."

"Mainz deserves their record. They have a clear idea of how to play and are very stable in executing tactics. Whether it is pressing or defending, the whole team works together. They also showed strong belief and were always threatening. We are also full of motivation because we lost to them before, which was not the result we wanted."

Kompany pointed out, "As a coach, I feel that this is a championship won by the players. I will not say that this is my championship, it belongs to them. Talent determines many factors, and my goal is to give players the opportunity to perform at their best. I hope we can do it, but the key is whether the players really want to achieve their goals."

"If a team wants to go the whole season unbeaten, everything has to fit in perfectly. We got a red card against Bochum and from that moment on it was not perfect. Away against Mainz, they had everything under control and we didn't play well. We were the better side in most games but not in that one. We have to look forward and prepare for the next goal right away."

As for the performance of the young players, Kompany shared, “We have some good young players who have performed well in training. It is not only a reward for them to be able to enter the first team, but also a reward for their hard work.”

"We want to give them opportunities, but we also have to be patient. Young players go through a lot in their growth process, including big contracts, new girlfriends and relocation, and our job is to create an environment for them to grow."
