The 21st round of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season will feature another key match, with defending champions Bayern Munich hosting Hoffenheim at the Allianz Arena. Manager Vincent Kompany stated that he hopes the team will find a balance in both attack and defense.
In the last round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich managed a 2-2 draw against Hamburg thanks to goals from Kane and Diaz. After 16 rounds with 16 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, Bayern Munich currently sits atop the standings with 51 points, 3 points ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said at a press conference, "My job is to examine everything very carefully. We can score a lot of goals, which is part of my job, and conceding as few goals as possible is also part of my job."
"Of course we don't like conceding goals, but we are still the best defensive team in Germany. We need to find a balance, to do better, and at the same time, we need to see that no team is doing better than us. We need to look at the problem in this context, whether it's due to the tight schedule or tactical structure."
Kompany pointed out, "We have always tried to attack proactively and have scored 74 goals, which is another aspect, and this should also be seen as an acceptable thing, not a black-and-white issue."
In addition, 30-year-old German striker Serge Gnabry has extended his contract with Bayern Munich until 2028. So far this Bundesliga season, Gnabry has contributed 6 goals and 5 assists for Bayern Munich, including one goal and two assists in the Champions League.
Kompany said, "Gnabry consistently demonstrates his ability and is an important presence in the locker room. He plays a special role both on and off the field, and I value his abilities highly. We believe he will continue to perform like this in the coming years."
