Bayern Munich will visit Elversberg for the first time! This Sunday, the Munich side will play their third Bundesliga match in Saarland. Ahead of the match, Max Eberl and Vincent Kompany held a press conference on Saturday to answer questions about all aspects of the game. Here are the main statements from the press conference.

Kompany on Boey

« Having worked with Max Eberl and Christoph Freund over the past two and a half years, I've seen the clarity and precision with which this club operates, and that applies to how they treat players as well. It's not always easy to hear as a player, but if you communicate with him in an open and direct way, he will show you immense respect in return. The transfer window is closed and Saša will have our support. However, if you look at this position, we have Josip Stanišić and Konrad Laimer, so the competition is quite fierce. But in the world of football, anything is possible with the right attitude. We always treat him with respect. He's training well at the moment, and the rest is just a matter of time. »

The coach on Luis Díaz

« It's just the finishing touch that's missing. His energy is still there, and he's still a threat. That said, creating these chances isn't easy in itself – constantly running behind the defense. Right now, he sometimes gets blocked at that stage, lacking a bit of luck in front of goal: a blocked shot, or the ball delivered by a teammate slightly off. But the important thing is that he's creating chances. If he stays calm, the goals will come naturally. »

Kompany on the squad situation

« Serge Gnabry took part in training and a decision will be made today. I expect him to be available tomorrow or against Union Berlin. We still need to speak with Serge, and he needs to give the signal – no more shooting or dribbling issues. Apart from that, the entire squad is in top form and at full strength. »

Max Eberl on Olise

« Olise is simply someone who wants to play football; off-field matters are not his strength. This question made a lot of noise in the media, but through another channel, he was actually praised for his conduct. We had only one decisive reason to bring him here – the way he plays football. And he's playing exceptionally well. »

Kompany on the away match at Elversberg

« An hour flight, then an hour bus ride, then play football – it's that simple. We're facing a team with a clear style. Wherever we are, whatever the weather, we have to give our best, and it will be the same tomorrow. Whether it's Dortmund or Elversberg, the motivation is exactly the same. »

Our coach on SVE

« Playing Schalke last week and Elversberg this week, both teams took completely different paths to success last season. Elversberg relies more on possession and solutions with the ball, while Schalke relies more on counter-pressing and transitions, which is clearly visible in the statistics. They charted their path to success through football itself, and they've had a very good start in the Bundesliga. »

Kompany on Vincent Wagner

« I don't want to dwell on that red card from two yellows. But I'm pleased that my counterpart can still be on the bench in such a situation. »

What is Bayern's mood heading into the match?

« We take every match seriously. I'm looking forward to playing against Elversberg and competing with this team. Every season brings new challenges, and this is a first for Bayern. Getting to know an opponent, a coach, a group of players – this new information is why I love football. There's only one thing, no matter where we go: we always want to show that we are Bayern. It's a new place, but we're still the same Bayern. »
