Bayern Munich will play an away match against Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga second round on September 6 at 00:30 Beijing time (UTC+1). During the pre-match press conference, manager Vincent Kompany discussed his views on Schalke 04 and addressed some transfer rumors.

You have coaching experience in England and understand the mentality of promoted teams. When teams get promoted to the top league, morale is often high. From a tactical perspective, what adjustments would you make? Have you analyzed Schalke 04's first-round match against Augsburg? What changes have you observed in this promoted team?

The situation with promoted teams going from the second division to the Bundesliga is completely different from promoted teams going from the Championship to the Premier League. This is my third season coaching in the Bundesliga. I believe the difficulty for teams promoted from the 2. Bundesliga to adapt is relatively manageable, and with the addition of a few new players, they can successfully establish themselves.

In England, the financial gap between the two leagues is enormous, reaching hundreds of millions of pounds. Promoted Premier League teams often need to spend £150-200 million in a single transfer window. By contrast, Schalke 04 cannot be described as a newly promoted team. Their entire squad is very stable.

While the first-round match against Augsburg was difficult, considering their performances during summer training, I personally don't think Schalke 04 will be dragged into a relegation battle this season. They could even set higher targets soon.

However, this situation is difficult to achieve in English football. So in my view, we are facing not just a promoted team but a mature Bundesliga side, and matches against them are always challenging.

After Nathaniel Brown and Serge Gnabry, there were reports that you originally hoped the club would complete a third major signing. Some media joked that you ended up getting only "pie in the sky" (implying the deal fell through). Is this news true?

This rumor is completely unfounded—it's like news generated by AI out of thin air. Over the past three months, I have never even considered pursuing a third major signing. We communicate with the board daily, but we have never discussed this matter.

So this news completely surprised us. When the public doesn't get the players they want, such rumors spread. Nowadays, numerous independent media accounts are generating news that competes with our actual work. Fortunately, we haven't been too distracted by it.

Frankly, internal discussions should remain within the club. I was very surprised to see this news leak externally. I have never even entertained such a thought. It's all quite absurd.

I'm curious where this rumor actually came from. Was it made up by people, or was it generated by AI? But such things are bound to happen sooner or later. Previously, there was also a ridiculous rumor that Jamal Musiala was transferring to Galatasaray.

When baseless rumors like these suddenly become a topic of discussion, we all have a responsibility to try to redirect public attention back to the truth. So it's not bad that this question was asked today, but I was genuinely shocked.

Are there any other personnel changes? Any new updates within the team?

I think I've already mentioned this three times this week. Léo Mayr has returned to the team, which doesn't need to be confirmed again. Whether Jamal Musiala can play will be assessed after today's final training session, after which the coaching staff will meet to make a final decision on sporting grounds.

Serge Gnabry will not be available this week. We expect him to rejoin the team next week. Our priority right now is to ensure he feels completely comfortable physically before he can return to the team.
