Vincent Kompany praises Bayern Munich in “hungry” win over Hoffenheim
· Yahoo Sports
After dropping points in consecutive Bundesliga matches, Bayern Munich left no doubt in the resounding 5-1 win over third-place Hoffenheim. Luis Díaz hustled his way into earning two penalty kick conversions for Harry Kane, then Díaz delivered his first hat trick at Bayern with a trio of clever finishes.
After scoring five goals in the past three matches combined, Kompany will sleep well knowing that Bayern scored five goals against the hottest team in the Bundesliga side. Before being dismantled by Bayern, Hoffenheim was undefeated over its last seven matches, only dropping points in a 0-0 draw at Stuttgart.

“We respect Hoffenheim and knew they were a good team, so this result is good,” said Kompany (via @iMiaSanMia). “We didn’t want much more from this game, and we’re where we need to be. Now our full focus is on Leipzig. We’re always hungry to attack. But of course, you try to find a balance.”
With Borussia Dortmund a mere six points behind Bayern in the table, the Rekordmeister will need to dig deep over the coming months.
“I have a lot of experience in these kinds of situations where you can ultimately win something,” Kompany added. “You need to stay focused. Whether you get three points, put in a good or bad performance – you have to put it behind you immediately and give your best again in the next game. That’s how you sometimes get into a flow, a rhythm.”
The celebration from the Hoffenheim will be short-lived as Bayern has three days to rest and prepare for a crucial DFB-Pokal quarterfinal contest against RB Leipzig. Leipzig has won the competition twice since Bayern last claimed the domestic cup in 2020.
