Reaction to Jeju SK match - Vincent Kompany: 'I loved it'

In warm summer conditions on Tuesday, FC Bayern managed to win 2-1 at Jeju SK FC in the Audi Football Summit as part of the Audi Summer Tour. “On the whole it was a positive game with good intensity and no injuries,” summarised head coach Vincent Kompany. “Obviously we’re still lacking a bit. It was brutally warm today. It’s clear that not everything is going to function immediately in pre-season, but you can see we’re getting better,” said Tom Bischof. fcbayern.com has collated the post-match reaction for you.

Reaction to Audi Football Summit against Jeju SK

Vincent Kompany: “Both teams spent a lot of energy. They showed you can make a good game out of a friendly. It was interesting because we got to see several players who don’t play that often. On the whole it was a positive game with good intensity and no injuries.”

On Jeju Island: “I loved it when I was out and about on Sunday and watched the K League match. Just as I love the cafés or the beach. The food has also been excellent. It’s great on this island, I like it. It was fun watching the match – obviously it’s a bit of football culture too. And it was great to see so many people come to the stadium.”

Nathaniel Brown: “It’s going well. We’ve now won two in two. I still need to get to know the boys more, especially on the pitch, in matches. I’m really enjoying it. Obviously it’s quite hard running in the temperatures here. I felt it too, but I think that will help us. Aston Villa will probably be different opponents. That’s going to be a really good test for us, where we’ll see where we’re at, and we want to seize it.”

Tom Bischof: “We’re looking forward to having everyone back and you can see we’re getting better and better. Obviously we’re still lacking a bit. It was brutally warm today. It’s clear that not everything is going to function immediately in pre-season, so I think we’ll see more progress against Aston Villa now, and then things will be looking even better.”

On the Audi Summer Tour: “Firstly it’s awesome to be together with the boys non-stop – just like when I started last season with the Club World Cup. I’m taking it all in, I’ve never been here before. The people are all very nice, and you can also take and learn a lot from it. We’ve been received wonderfully. There are loads of fans and they’re all very friendly.”
