Bayern started the new season with a strong start and achieved seven consecutive victories in all competitions. Recently, Bayern coach Kompany accepted an exclusive interview with Sky Sports reporter Kerry Howe. The Belgian praised Kane, commented on young player Carl, and looked forward to the home game against Bremen during Oktoberfest.

About Bayern scorer Kane:

"When a player scored so many goals and won the first championship, people can't expect him to defend and try his best in every training. Of course, at this absolute top level, it may be required, but not everyone can do it. Kane not only scored so many goals, but also actively participated on the defensive end, driving teammates in every training, which made my work much easier. For him, not giving is not an option."

About Bayern young player Leonard Carr Growth:

"He was still playing in U17 and U19 last season. This shows that we trust our young players and are willing to give them a chance. For Carl, I have no pressure at all. He just needs to enjoy the game. He can always show some highlights, which is his characteristic. If you send a good cross at Bayern Munich, Kane will score the ball there. It will certainly be helpful for young players to integrate into the team. If he fights and runs like he is now, even if he can score ten to fifteen more goals in the future, it will be natural. But in this stage of development, we must be cautious in promoting the growth of young players, and it is precisely because we have great confidence in them."

About the next Bundesliga opponent Bremen:

"They have a head coach Horst Steffen, which is his first time leading the team to the Bundesliga. But he has achieved many successes in the past, relying on a special style of play, and now we can see some shadows in Bremen. But simply put: we are at home, we have desires, and we want to win. The team should show positive performance, this is me We can fully expect. We want to leave our three-pointers in Munich."

About our adaptation in Munich and the Oktoberfest:

Kompani (laugh): "If you have been to Oktoberfest once, you will understand 'what is true Bavaria' faster. I have felt comfortable here since the first day. Munich is a perfect city and ideal for family life. But we also want to pass on this positive feeling to the fans so that they can celebrate not only in Beer Energy, but also cheer at the Allianz Stadium."
