Jean-Marie Pfaff was inducted into the Hall of Fame, a logical accolade for one of the best goalkeepers Belgium has ever known. The former Red Devil, who spent many years playing for Bayern Munich, is full of praise for Vincent Kompany.
Kompany is doing a great job with Bayern. The team has already scored 50 goals in 14 matches, and Bayern has once again become the benchmark in Germany, after several lackluster seasons. The club currently occupies a comfortable position at the top of the table, three points ahead of RB Leipzig and already seven points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen.
Pfaff salutes Company
It is nevertheless striking to see Kompany quickly criticized, although he is not alone in this case. A victory and the praises flow; a defeat, and the criticisms rained down the next day. Sensation often takes precedence over nuance and reason. In 2024, everything is either “good” or “bad”. More in-depth analyzes are rare.
Angered by easy criticism
Pfaff expresses his annoyance at this rapid and excessive criticism, but remains complimentary to Kompany. “You have to believe it. If you lose once, people already change their minds. Because few people really understand football. Winning is the main thing. No matter how he does it… He does it very well. I’m proud of it,” he told VTM.
Objective: beat Benfica
This week, Kompany and Bayern Munich face Benfica in the Champions League. After a 3 out of 9 in the group stage, they must win.
Kompany and Bayern faced a lot of criticism after their 4-1 defeat to FC Barcelona, although they had a very good first half. But only the score caught the attention, to the detriment of the analysis of the progress of the match. Good or bad, as always these days in football.
