Scoring goals isn’t guaranteed even for Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich
· Yahoo Sports
Bayern Munich have scored 117 goals in the Bundesliga this season. That is the all-time record after breaking their own record from 1971/72 in which the Bavarians had scored 101 goals. However, despite a proclivity for goals this season, they are never guaranteed or automatic. A harsh lesson that Vincent Kompany’s men had to learn twice in less than week. First against PSG in the Champions League, then against VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga.

The discomfort of not scoring several goals in every game
Has Bayern’s plethora of goals turned into a double-edged sword. There is a always an urge to score as many goals as possible leaving absolutely no chance for the opponent to ever make a comeback in the game. It is a thoroughly enjoyable brand of football. However, is it causing a insecurity where Bayern as a team are not feeling secure of holding on to slim leads in game ?
Manager Vincent Kompany gave his insights on this subject post the slender and uncomfortable 1-0 win against Wolfsburg. “The problem isn’t the intention behind the counter-pressing; it’s about not always feeling like you have to score three goals in the first ten or fifteen minutes and have the opponent on the ropes,” said Kompany (via FC Bayern).
Perseverance prevails
Turning around impatience was key in what improved Bayern in the second half as per the manager. “We started well, lost our patience – and then it gets more difficult. At some point, your legs become crucial – and that’s why I think we were much better in the second half. It was all down to our possession. We solved that in the second half – it’s a healthy dose of arrogance when you score 120 goals; everyone thinks they’ll automatically be scoring. That’s wrong. We have to wait until our legs get tired, then you get the spaces,” he said.
Finally, the Bayern coach appreciated his squad’s ability to reset and adapt quickly to get back in the game. “I have to give credit to them for their reaction; it’s not easy to come out and then turn everything around – that’s exactly what we did,” said the Belgian as he took a deep dive into the mental dynamics of the team.
