Kompany: “90 minutes, 90 minutes” for Kane and Olise

Vincent Kompany didn’t hide his satisfaction with Bayern’s 0-0 against FC Schalke 04, a game in which he said his side’s performance pleased him despite the lack of a win. After the match, he also pointed out that he wants the team to regain a certain edge after the end of a notable goalscoring run.

Minutes under control

Kompany was just as clear when asked about managing key players. Regarding Harry Kane and Michael Olise, he spelled out his approach with a blunt line: “Du machst 90 Minuten, 90 Minuten, 90 Minuten”. The takeaway from his comments, as reported by kicker, is that he wants them to handle a heavy workload consistently.

The 0-0 takeaway

According to kicker, Kompany praised what the team did on the pitch and framed the draw as a positive step in terms of how Bayern can play. He positioned the result within the broader context of moving on from a recent stretch where the team found goals easily.

What to watch next

With his message on minutes already delivered, the main question now is how that will translate across upcoming fixtures. For now, the direction is set: 90 minutes sustained for Kane and Olise whenever they’re fit, with Kompany aiming to keep them at full output rather than easing them in gradually. As kicker notes, that’s the management style he wants to bring in.
