During a visit to the Munich press club, Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen praised Burnley coach Vincent Kompany. Dreesen said it was a big surprise for him how successful Kompany was working with Burnley this season. Dreesen said: "It's impressive what he's doing. I never thought he could form such a team so quickly. Some of them are players who have never played in the Premier League before, and they come there and immediately play attractive football that is also successful. I think that's really, really great." Dreesen also explained why Bayern lost so many games against promoted teams last season and pointed out that the way Burnley played did not suit Bayern. Dreesen said: "I think that's partly due to the way Burnley is playing this season. I don't think that suits us. Last season we had big problems against teams that were deep and defensive. And I think Burnley is a team at the moment that does it in a different way, that is very, very robust, that is very, very combative. We had our problems with teams like that last season too. I hope that changes this season." Dreesen also spoke about the signing of Kompany as Burnley coach and explained that Bayern would Essen were aware that Kompany was a very great player and that he also had a great charisma that attracted players. Dreesen said: "I think it was a bit under the radar, but of course we also considered that he would have a big influence on players, especially young players. And that seems to be working." Finally, Dreesen joked about Kompany's success when he was asked whether there was a master plan that showed Kompany's success in such a short time at Burnley. Dreesen then said: "I have to ask him whether there really is a master plan or whether it is all a bit improvised. I hope that sheds a little light on the darkness, then I can understand it better."

What happens next

Bayern Munich will continue to monitor how Burnley develops under Kompany, particularly in relation to the style of play that caused Bayern difficulties last season. Dreesen's comments could also mean Bayern Munich are better prepared for Burnley's style of play in future meetings.
