The 35th German championship of FC Bayern Munich has been confirmed since Sunday evening – and also pleases the national coach, as he emphasizes in his greeting to the record champions. The voices on FCB’s championship …
Vincent Kompany (DAZN): “These moments take a lot of work. It doesn’t just start this season, it started many years ago. And then at some point you get there and then you have to enjoy it. It takes a lot of work, but then you have to enjoy it when it comes.“
Julian Nagelsmann (national team coach): ”Congratulations, FC Bayern Munich! Vincent Kompany has impressively managed to form a team that not only won the title with confidence, but also in spectacular fashion with an outstanding team performance. More than 100 goals in one season is an extraordinary mark. Of course, I’m particularly happy for my national team players, because we have big plans together in the summer. The winning mentality and the self-image they bring to the pitch at Bayern in every game are absolutely impressive.”
Sebastian Hoeneß (VfB Stuttgart coach, DAZN): “There can be no two opinions, they are the absolutely deserved German champions, but also in the whole way they perform, completely as a team, as a coaching team, as a club. This deserves the highest recognition, is a very good representative of German soccer and that’s why you simply have to congratulate them, even if they lost here today.“
Bernd Neuendorf (DFB President): ”Congratulations to FC Bayern Munich – to the team, their fans and the entire club with President Herbert Hainer at the helm – on winning the German championship ahead of schedule. This title is an expression of impressive consistency and dominance throughout the entire season: Bayern led the table from the very first match day. The team’s performance – on and off the pitch – was once again the best advertisement for the Bundesliga. Bayern impressed above all with their offense and surpassed their own goal scoring record of more than half a century. In addition, FC Bayern also represents German soccer internationally in an outstanding manner. That helps our sport immensely – throughout the country.“
Rudi Völler (DFB Sports Director): ”Congratulations to FC Bayern Munich on the championship and on a wonderful season. Bayern have also performed very convincingly in the Champions League so far and are promoting German soccer. As a former striker, I am of course particularly impressed by their attacking power. It’s fun to watch this team. I hope that our national team players from FC Bayern will also bring their special team spirit to the World Cup.“
Marc Lenz and Steffen Merkel (DFL Managing Directors): ”Congratulations to FC Bayern on the German championship. The team is playing an exceptional Bundesliga season and has once again set new standards with its goal record, among other things. We congratulate the players, Vincent Kompany and his coaching team as well as the management team led by Herbert Hainer, Jan-Christian Dreesen, Max Eberl and Rouven Kasper, all employees and the fans of the record champions. In addition to impressive performances in the Bundesliga, FC Bayern also represents German soccer excellently at international level. We wish them every success in the semi-finals of the Champions League and more great European Cup evenings.“
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: ”I would like to congratulate the team and the entire coaching staff, with Vincent Kompany at the helm, on FC Bayern’s 35th championship. This title is absolutely deserved and of a very special caliber. For me, the championship is always the most honest title, because quality, consistency and team spirit prevail over the long haul and luck or bad luck do not play a decisive role. This great team has played an exceptional Bundesliga season in every respect, it has played great soccer, enchanted the fans, set a new goal record, but has also shown defensive stability. It conveys enjoyment of soccer and translates this into success. Special credit goes to Vincent Kompany, who is doing an outstanding job.”
