The latest DFB nominations have created a positive mood at FC Bayern – including for head coach Vincent Kompany, who sees the appointments of Jonas Urbig and Lennart Karl in particular as an important signal for the future
Ahead of the Bundesliga match against Union Berlin, Kompany spoke at length about the current situation surrounding the national team at the matchday press conference – and emphasized the close cooperation with national coach Julian Nagelsmann in particular
One key topic was the non-nomination of Jamal Musiala, where Kompany made it clear that there is complete agreement between the club and the national team. „We talk to each other, that’s completely normal. We have the same goal with Jamal Musiala. We want him to be fit, that’s good for us and the national team.“
The exchange between the two coaches works smoothly, as the Bayern coach emphasized: „When we talk on the phone, we exchange information so that the national team coach can make his decisions. We have a good relationship.“
This close coordination underlines how sensitively the situation of the injured attacking player is being handled. The priority is clearly on a full recovery – without unnecessary risk
Kompany sees a great future for Bayern talent
The nominations of Jonas Urbig and Lennart Karl are much more positive. For both, it is the first step into the senior national team circle – and an important milestone from Kompany’s point of view
„It’s good for Bayern and good for Germany,“ explained the 39-year-old. At the same time, he deliberately took the pressure off the two youngsters: „It’s the first step for them, they should enjoy it. They have no pressure, they’ll have that for some time to come.“
Kompany sees great potential for the future in both players: „At some point, they will play an important role for the national team. I have a lot of faith in them.“
The Bayern coach thus confirms the current development at the record champions, who are increasingly focusing on young talents and promoting them in a targeted manner. The nominations of Karl and Urbig are a further sign that this approach is bearing fruit
The message from Munich is clear: FC Bayern not only provides top performers, but also the next generation for German soccer – and they are now to be introduced to the big stage step by step.
