Chelsea pursued himself twice? Kompany: I can t say the specific team name now

Hupu September 17th Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany caused a burst of laughter at a pre-match press conference against Chelsea on Seberna Street.

In June 2024, his father, 78-year-old Pierre Kompani, revealed to La Dernière Heure/Les Sports: "If you look at the teams that knocked on the door: Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea last year, now Brighton also showed interest, and then Chelsea is coming again. But when a club like Bayern Munich with a well-structured structure at all levels comes knocking on the door, you can't refuse."

Regarding the two pursuits of Chelsea that his father claimed, Kompani said: "I think I have to adjust my approach: no longer just keep silent about what Uli Henes or Karl Heinz Rummenigge said, but also keep silent about what my father said." The reporters in the audience burst into laughter.

Konpani continued: "To be honest, I didn't think too much about it. I was fighting for relegation with Burnley, that was my only goal, and then it all happened - in the end, I had a chance, but I wouldn't even say that it was an opportunity. The situation was contradictory: you went all out and focused on the game, and then suddenly someone showed up and they saw something in me, and saw something different from reality."

Konpani meant: Suddenly, top clubs like Bayern Munich and Chelsea wanted Burnley's relegation coach - it was a strange feeling for the Belgians!

Konpani continued: "I can't name them now, but maybe I will talk about it again in the future. This is a completely crazy paradox in my life - I can only say so much now."

As a player, he has played against Chelsea 18 times (9 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses) and 2 times (1 draw and 1 loss) as a coach.
