Kompany: I feel like today is the ideal time to rotate. Now we have a rested Kane playing in the Champions League.

Bayern defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 at home in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Team coach Kompany rotated the starting lineup. In an interview after the game, Kompany said that this game was an ideal time for rotation and believed that the team still performed well.

At the post-match press conference, Kompany explained that with the intensive schedule and the Champions League match against Paris on Tuesday, this feels like "an ideal time" to rotate, and key players such as Kane, Olise, and Dias have been rested.

Kompany: "Of course, when Kane comes on and is in good form, we are always stronger. But today I felt that the other players were ready, and now we have a rested Kane. People always ask me: When will Kane be available? Rest? When can Dias rest? Today feels like an ideal time."

He stressed that the rested stars fully agreed with this decision: "They are all professional players, whether it is Kane, Dias or Olise. They all know the situation we are in."

Kompany also admitted that there are risks in making so many personnel adjustments, but this also makes the successful result of the plan more satisfying: "Many people think that there may be some problems today, and the same is probably true for the opponents. I think. But for me, the important thing is to go into the game with full speed, and we did that in the first half. It's dangerous at times, but there comes a time when you have to do that, otherwise you don't have to build a squad."
