Bayern Munich's strong Bundesliga season that has seen the club score 53 league goals in 17 matches is almost exclusively down to the quality of the individual players and not the coach, Vincent Kompany said on Friday.

Vincent Kompany praised Harry Kane's penalty streak, which he had continued in the last game against Hoffenheim. The Bayern striker had converted all 18 penalties he has taken for the club so far.

Vincent Kompany insists the majority of Bayern Munich's success this season is down to the quality of its players, not him as the head coach.

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich are proving they are hungry for success again and are delivering a reaction to their disappointing previous season, coach Vincent Kompany said after his team's 5-0 demolition of Hoffenheim on Wednesday.

The Blues have been interested in forward Tel since last summer and have enquired over his availability this month amid Bayern’s interest in Christopher Nkunku.

Former Burnley coach Charlie Adam says he wasn’t surprised Bayern Munich came calling for Vincent Kompany having seen how the Belgian operates up close and personal.

Wirtz is probably the only player at champions Leverkusen to be performing at a higher level this season than in the previous one. With good timing because all sorts of clubs are busy making their pitch about where his future should lie. That story will cast a shadow over everything else that happens between now and May and probably beyond.

Last time out, Bayern picked up an important 1-0 victory away to bogey side Borussia Monchengladbach. Although they deserved to win the game, and by more than one goal, there were some things that were far from perfect. Here are the changes Kompany should make to his XI against Hoffenheim.

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany insisted his squad must remain hungry in their quest to regain their Bundesliga crown this season.

Manuel Benson, Anass Zaroury, Josh Cullen, Vitinho, Ameen Al Dakhil, Lyle Foster and Samuel Bastien were all signed from Belgian clubs in Kompany's first season in charge, and most of those proved key figures in Burnley's promotion.
