Munich did not have a win in three consecutive matches. “Did Munich forget how to win? Munich played 3-3 against Frankfurt and failed to earn three points after Leverkusen (1-1 draw) and Aston Villa (0-1 loss).”
Coach Vincent Kompany said after the game, “Today was a great performance by the team. We got many chances. We would have deserved more. We have to keep going, and we have to go our own way. We have to have faith that such achievements will bring us results. We have to keep it calm.”
Munich general manager Max Eberle said, “Today we don’t need to look for many negatives except for three goals. Everything in the game, the way we looked in attack, the intensity, when did Munich play 6 km more than Frankfurt? For your information, we lost here 1-5 last year. They were the second-ranked team in the Bundesliga and we overwhelmed them. All we are really angry about is the result.”
At the same time, he opened up about Munich’s defense. “Of course, we play with risks. We play with superiority and overwhelm our opponents. There is a big space at the back for defense. We have to win the competition in 50-50 situations.” Against Villa, we should have defended better. “Because when we have such a big space at the back, one-on-one situations are of course difficult for defenders,” he said.
