Bayern are fully focused on Frankfurt says Kompany
Bayern Munich host Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday before a huge Bundesliga title clash against rivals Borussia Dortmund next week.
Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany insisted that his side are fully focused on their upcoming Bundesliga fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt and not thinking about next week's crucial title clash against Borussia Dortmund.
The reigning Bundesliga champions are currently six points clear of second-place Dortmund with 12 games to go.
The two top in the German top flight will face off on February 28, but not before Bayern host Frankfurt and Dortmund travel to top-four hopefuls RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Despite having some players close to suspension for accumulating yellow cards, Kompany was adamant that they had no plans to disrupt their preparations for Frankfurt.
"You have the BVB game in mind, but we don't. I'm only focused on the Frankfurt game," said the Bayern head coach.
"We know the situation with suspensions due to yellow cards, but you can't plan everything. The only important thing is that we now win at home against Frankfurt.
"There's no hierarchy, every game is important. Starting next week, we can all enjoy that 'Klassiker' feeling together. But right now it's all about Frankfurt. The suspensions are not an issue; we have to be smart, but you can't plan everything."
Frankfurt recently changed their head coach, bringing in Alex Riera, who was also a former Manchester City player.
The Spaniard drew his first game in charge against Union Berlin before engineering a 3-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.
"We've just played Werder, they'd also had a change of coach. You have to plan with what you can see," added Kompany.
"We've seen what Frankfurt have done in the last two games and what the coach has done with his previous teams. We have to be prepared to be flexible in the game.
"We have a lot of opportunities to be flexible in the games. There's a new coach coming here, but it's the same players and we have the same players."
