Kompany's recipe for success: Bayern celebrates 5-1 against Leipzig!

FC Bayern Munich celebrated a worthy end to the year with an impressive 5-1 win against RB Leipzig. Stefan Effenberg, former national soccer player, praised the new head coach Vincent Kompany for his calm and serious work. According to Effenberg, the Belgian kept the necessary calm and presented a clear playing philosophy that was urgently needed by the record champions. Effenberg emphasizes that Kompany's calmness was also the reason why a defeat against Leipzig would have had devastating consequences: "If there had been a defeat against Leipzig - despite all of Kompany's calmness - there would have been a restless Christmas on Säbener Straße," as he wrote.

Additionally, Harry Kane, the club's top scorer, returns from injury and is expected to play against Leipzig. Kane, who has already scored 14 goals in 12 Bundesliga games this season, has been sidelined since suffering a muscle injury in November. Kompany was optimistic about Kane's return: "If everything goes well, he will definitely play a role in the game." This is particularly important as Bayern have been missing key players, including Kane, in recent games and have recently suffered a defeat which has increased the pressure on the team, such as ESPN reported.

With 33 points from 14 games, Bayern are four points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen and are still favorites in the Bundesliga. Kompany's experience as a former player under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City is evident in the way he leads and motivates the team, which has been the basis for the club's success to date. For FC Bayern Munich, the return of Kane and the impressive win against Leipzig is a signal for a strong second half of the season, as Effenberg noted: “A worthy end to the year, very important for Bayern.”
