How has Bayern improved since last year? Eberl: We are so lucky to get Kompany

Hupu reported on October 17th that in this round of Bundesliga, the league leader Bayern Munich will usher in the focus of the national derby with Dortmund. Before the game, Bayern coach Kompany and sporting director Eberl attended the press conference. The German also talked about related topics and situations.

Eber spoke

Talking about Dortmund center back Schloterbeck and Bayern's potential interest

I don't want to talk about the opposing players. We have very good defenders like Ta, Min-jae Kim and Upa. The biggest topic for us right now is Upa’s contract extension. When other topics arise, we will take a look at the transfer market. But today, I will not comment on this.

"Signals" on Gnabry's future and whether there will be a contract extension

I think Gnabry played very well under the leadership of Kompany. His performance is not only good for him but also good for us. His contract expires next summer. If there are any signals, we will communicate them internally rather than telling you directly. So you can wait for the news after our internal discussions and we will announce the results naturally.

Talking about the development of the team since last year

We are so lucky to have Kompany joining us. The team's lineup has not fluctuated much. The core players have been working together for 17 months. Despite the increased workload, we came out of the Club World Cup more united - more united, full of energy and hungry to win. The coaching staff showed that from the start. We’re not that much better than last year, but last year was the key to where we are today.

Thoughts on the U21 Professional League

In Germany, we need to think deeply about youth training. Overall, we can do a better job developing young players across Germany. The idea came from the U21 league in England, but the U21 league there is being canceled because it's always the same teams playing against each other.

Adult football already provides opportunities for young players, taking into account factors such as the schedule, U19 league and Youth Champions League, we also need to consider who will participate in such a league. Generally speaking, this idea is correct, and we also need to think comprehensively in Germany.
