Hupu News November 25 Bayern head coach Kompany attended the pre-match press conference against Arsenal.

About Arteta

"Seeing how Arteta leads the team and how he improves himself, they play very aggressively. He is extremely demanding on the details of the team and Arsenal has almost no weaknesses. This is Arteta's personality. Guardiola is a very influential figure and has an important role in our careers. I will always be grateful. But the two teams are also very different from each other, which is exactly what Arteta is. That's what makes tomorrow's game special."

About tomorrow's game

"We have won the first four games, which is very important. We have accomplished all the goals in the plan and hope to maintain this momentum. But against this team, it will be the most difficult challenge so far - that is why we are here, this is what we want to face. Game."

About Gnabry's physical condition

"But whether he can start and play the full game will have to wait until tomorrow. We were a little worried before, but he gave us a positive signal."

About set-pieces

"The fact is that we have not shown our normal level in set-pieces recently. We've been there - it doesn't mean you're not good at it, but it does mean you need to be better at it. But even the best teams have problems with Arsenal's set pieces. But I don't want to just talk about defending, we have to try and score from set pieces, and we want to be a team that can do that. A very strong team - not only offensively, but also defensively. "

Talking about Arteta again

"Everything I say now is what I said when I brought Burnley here. He is a very important member of the Manchester City coaching staff, and behind him, there are experts who constantly give him feedback. One of them. When he left, no one was surprised that he became the manager he is now. Of course we want to win trophies as a coach, but we also have to know how to build the team and how to train the team. It's a great challenge and we're at a good stage now. "

About Carl

"He's still very young and will be very young for the next few years. He should enjoy this process. The performance he has shown now can continue for another 30 games. The real question is, how do we deal with it when the state drops? Not only did he perform well on the offensive end, but he also performed well on the defensive end. Tomorrow is another test and we are happy to continue with him."

About Gnabry's good performance in London

"Players need confidence - no matter where they can get it, that is a good thing. If this experience (playing in London) can give Gnabry 10% confidence, of course I will accept it."
