Kompany on PSG rematch: "I think the fans believe we can do it"
Ahead of tomorrow night's semi-final second-leg clash with PSG, Bayern Munich's Vincent Kompany senses the fans are behind his team ahead of this pressurised encounter.
âThere's a good relationship between this team and the fans. At the start of the season, maybe not many believed we'd still have a chance to reach the final.
âNow we're here, we've experienced many special moments. And I think the fans believe we can do it. We want to make it a memorable moment,â he said in his press conference today.
When asked about the first-leg which ended in a 5-4 defeat, the Bavarians' head coach adopted a calm tone â conceding goals doesn't bother him provided they win and advance to the final.
âThe mission is to win games. We have ideas that we think help us to do that. It's just about that. We've shown that we can win many games, PSG have shown that too.
"In the end you have to score one more goal than your opponent to win a game. If you can do it without conceding, that's the best thing that could happenâ
âIt always depends on the teams. If one decides to take a step back and defend more, then there could be some calmer phases in the game. Otherwise there won't.
âIt's difficult to imagine that either team will change what brought them here in the first place. We're playing at home, we want to win and will do everything for that,â he added.
On the personnel front, the Belgian explained âSerge [Gnabry] is out. All others are there and available. That's important and a big difference to last season, where we were very unlucky with injuries".
