Who knows if Bayern Munich will have closed their eyes tonight after suffering the surprising defeat at the hands ofAston Villa in the Champions League. We’re talking about a Unai Emeryhead coach of the Villainswho was able to harness the Bavarians, giving a football lesson to those who are still in their first steps as a coach like Vincent Kompany. The Spanish coach, having achieved the very heavy 1-0 which was worth 6 points in total in the single ranking of the tournament, intervened as follows: “We want to be consistent to play in Europe (regularly, ed.), the first words released in TNT Sports.
Absolute protagonist and match-winner Jhon Duran, substituted in the 70th minute and scored after just 9 minutes of play: “We are working with him. The most important thing is his attitude. He is available to play 90, 60, 30 minutes. He focused on every minute of the game. Today we had two very good attackers. It’s fantastic for him and for the team. Against teams like that it is very important to be strong.” One special mention also for the Dibu who lowered the shutter in front of Kane and his teammates: “Martinez did an incredible job, with extraordinary saves. We have to try to play every game. We competed very well, we won. Maybe we can get the top eight positions.”
Vincent Kompany yesterday evening, following the unfavorable result, he recognized the strength of his opponents – who will challenge Juventus and Bologna in the Champions League: “Ollie Watkins has many qualities to mention, but one of his is that of dividing the two central defenders”, guaranteed the Bayern coach. Adding: “When we have the ball we are dangerous, but they (Aston Villa, ed.) are a strong team, it’s not an easy place.” In fact, this season the English team has only lost against Arsenal in the league.
