With this double confrontation against Inter Milan in the quarter-final of the Champions League, Vincent Kompany certainly tackles the most exciting challenge of his young career as a coach. Because the altitude rises, of course, but also and above all because the Belgian will have to make very strong choices to fill a host of important absences for the first round, this Tuesday evening (9 p.m.).
Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies are forfeits for this match and weaken the defensive sector. But in attack, too, Kompany will have to widen his head since Kingsley Coman and the playmaker Jamal Musiala also lack the call. “I don't want to change our goals because we have injured”evacuated Kompany.
Thomas Müller, an option not to be overlooked before the end of history.
“You don't have to look too much but project ourselves forward. The players who will play are able to bring a result. We must not forget that they participated in the adventure that brought us here. What matters to me is what you can achieve, I have no desire to complain. I don't want to change our goals because we have injured. ”
A completely experimental 11 for Bayern
How will Bayern coach reshang his team? The absence of Musiala is a real problem, but with the history of Thomas Müller, Kompany has another option. “We have already played without Jamal, I already said that such a talent cannot be replaced one for one”,, he launched, as if to blur the tracks.
In defense, Dier does not give all the signs of security, but he should take place alongside Kim, while Guerreiro is expected to occupy the left flank. Urbig will replace Neuer in goals. For the rest, the Kane or Kimmich executives are obviously expected, as is the French international Michael Olise, who could complete an attack where the very inconsistent Sané will also have a role to play.
The expected composition for Bayern Munich : Urbig-Laimer, Dier, Kim Min-Jae, Guerreiro-Kimmich, Goretzka-Olise, Müller, Sané-Kane.
