For the first time in 11 years, German giants FC Bayern Munich failed to win the Bundesliga last season. Consequently, they sacked Thomas Tuchel and appointed Vincent Kompany. Kompany, the former City player, is preparing hard to make a solid start in his debut season with Bayern in the Bundesliga.
The manager stated, “We’re going to give everything to do better this season. I expect a reaction from everyone, which can already be observed in training. I hope we also see that in the next few games, and above all from the first competitive game in the cup.”
However, Kompany has a heavyweight game ahead when his side takes on Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow in Seoul, South Korea. English club Tottenham Hotspur had a difficult season, but the Spurs have been brilliant in all their pre-season games. They have won all four of their pre-season matches as of now. Manager Ange Postecoglou is determined to get a good start to the new season and secure the Champions League football. This is why this match is crucial for both teams to build momentum ahead of the new season.

South Korea is the home of Tottenham’s Son Heung-min and Bayern’s Kim Min Jae. The two players are excited to play against each other on their own soil.
Kim Min Jae said, “I’ve only played against Sonny in training to date. He’s a top player but Tottenham have many other great players who we need to be wary of. Obviously, I hope that we walk off as winners tomorrow and I’m looking forward to my first match against him.”
Anyway, Tottenham Hotspur will miss the service of Rodrigo Bentancur, Giovani Lo Celso, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven as they have not returned yet from their international duty. Oliver Skipp is also uncertain about the game as he got a knock during the last game.
As for Bayern, there will be no reunion between Harry Kane and Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Kane has been injured and has not recovered yet. Due to injury or international duty, the Bavarians will also be without Leroy Sane, Matthijs de Ligt, Dayot Upamecano, and Alphonso Davies.
Possible Lineup for Bayern Munich:
Ulreich; Kim, Dier, Ito; Boey, Goretzka, Laimer, Guerreiro; Gnabry, Tel, Bryan
Possible Lineup for Tottenham Hotspur:
Vicario; Spence, Dragusin, Davies, Donley; Gray, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Johnson
Prediction: Bayern 2-2 Spurs
New manager Vincent Kompany has to prove his quality with Bayern Munich. Since it will be his first high-voltage match with the Bavarians, the world eagerly awaits how he will lead his team. However, Bayern Munich have tons of world-class players who can change the game at any time. But it will be difficult to secure a victory against the Spurs, who have been unbeaten so far in the pre-season.
