Bayern boss Kompany becomes interpreter for Kim – bizarre presser in South Korea Vincent Kompany (40) experienced an unusual press conference in South Korea. The Bayern Munich manager had to translate for Minjae Kim (29) on Monday (10 AM German time) after the official interpreter only offered English-Korean. The scene caused laughter and highlighted the special dynamic between coach and star defender. ## How did the interpreter role come about? At the start of the presser, the interpreter apologized for not providing German translations. Kompany jokingly asked: „Who will translate the German questions for Minjae?“ – and took on the role himself. He translated questions about the competition with Upamecano and Tah, while Kim emphasized: „I'm very happy to compete with them.“ ## Kim's future at Bayern In response to BILD's questions about transfer rumors, Kim made it clear: „I'm very satisfied at Bayern and hope for more playing time.“ The 29-year-old made 37 appearances last season. Kompany praised his performances: „Minjae delivers on the pitch and gives everything in training.“ ## What does this mean for the team? The bizarre situation underscored the international dynamic at Bayern. With players like Kim, Upamecano, and Tah (30), as well as sidelined stars like Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry, the squad's diversity is evident. Kompany emphasized: „It's not about rankings, but about performances.“
