Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany talks the Joshua Kimmich and Tom Bischof factor

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany addressed media questions comparing midfielders Tom Bischof and Joshua Kimmich following the international break. Kompany emphasized that national team performances do not determine his starting lineup choices at Bayern Munich. He noted that players should separate their experiences on international duty from their club responsibilities, focusing instead on recent club form.

Bavarian Football Works writer R.I.P. London Teams argued that Bischof deserves more minutes while defending Kimmich against external criticism. Kompany recognized that questions regarding Bischof were indirectly pointed at Kimmich, stating he evaluates players based on their strong club displays against teams like Union Berlin, Bodø, Borussia Dortmund, and Stuttgart.
