"Vincent Kompany has been handling it very cleverly, using the same players consistently, so everyone knows how to work together. Of course, as we approach the end of the year, you see this small squad is lacking the advantage of depth, and they're getting tired. You saw it in the last few games, conceding first and having to fight to come back in the match."
"He was a free agent coming from Hoffenheim. It's hard to get playing time in this squad, but he did. I think if he gets the chance, he could be a player for Bayern's first-XI. This is the way Bayern Munich are trying to go, but it's not only German, it's also German speakers. They have one player on the list, Fisnik Asllani, again of Hoffenheim. He's a striker, currently playing for the Kosovo national side, but he was born in Berlin and speaks German."
Bayern Munich operates with a deliberately small core squad under Vincent Kompany, emphasizing consistent lineups to build cohesion and understanding among players. The limited squad size delivers strong teamwork but creates a lack of depth, causing fatigue and recurring situations where the team concedes early and must recover. Players are looking forward to the winter break after the Heidenheim match to rest, highlighting the Bundesliga schedule advantage over England. Bayern continues a recruitment focus on German or German-speaking talent, exemplified by Tom Bischof and the Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani, who carries an estimated €30m release clause.
