Last season, after every shortcoming for Bayern Munich, it felt as though the pressure upon Thomas Tuchel increased drastically.

Therefore, when Vincent Kompany was appointed as his successor, there were fears that the Belgian head coach would face the same fate, especially considering he had previously failed to keep Burnley in the Premier League.

However, with Der Rekordmeister failing to pick up a victory in their previous two games, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has instead elected to shower praise upon the 38-year-old at a banquet in Birmingham.

“Vincent, we are sure that with your style of playing, your speech, and your interaction with the players, you are not only causing us a little grief today but have also given us a lot of joy in the last few games. It will bring us joy again. We are happy that you are with us. The way we are playing football again makes us very happy. We can feel that the team is having fun!”

Against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and Aston Villa in the Champions League, the record champions were far from their best, failing to show enough in the final third to come out victorious in either game.

Nevertheless, in previous weeks, they have been able to record impressive wins over the likes of Werder Bremen, Holstein Kiel, and Dinamo Zagreb.

With an away trip to Eintracht Frankfurt awaiting Bayern on Sunday afternoon, there will be an expectation that the record champions will be able to bounce back, but it is clear to see that those in charge at the Allianz Arena will not ridicule Kompany for the foreseeable future.
