Kompany on competition for the Bundesliga title: "I have a phenomenal squad, but..."
Over the summer, Vincent Kompany was appointed as the new Bayern Munich coach, replacing Thomas Tuchel.
The former Belgium international knows there are high expectations at Bayern in terms of silverware, but also insists he believes it's harder to win the Bundesliga now than in the past because the competition has gotten tougher.
"Of course you have to win titles at a club like Bayern. But it's nothing new for me. I grew up with this winning culture at Anderlecht. Even at Burnley, a club with the third smallest budget in the Premier League, I wanted to win every game," he told Belgian newspaper DH Les Sports.
“I have a phenomenal squad, but compared to the past, the competition - Leverkusen, Leipzig, Dortmund and others - has also become stronger. From a footballing point of view, it has become more difficult to dominate the league,” added Kompany.
Bayern have won their first three competitive games under Kompany.
