Bayern Munich fans were hit with a double whammy as Eric Dier announced his shocking retirement, while former Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany warned that the team’s already potent attack could become even more dangerous. The Bavarian giants have been firing on all cylinders, with Harry Kane leading the charge and new signing Michael Olise making an immediate impact.
Eric Dier Shocks with Sudden Retirement Announcement
Despite Bayern Munich’s recent successes in their last two matches following a traumatic Champions League loss, Eric Dier has taken the drastic step of retiring from the sport, having seemingly lost the will to play after experiencing the disappointment of the defeat. Even his close friend Harry Kane was stunned by the announcement, as Dier’s decision to quit so suddenly came as a shock to those who knew him. “A good friend of mine, Eric Dier, is going through a bit of a… I’ll give him a little shoutout; he’s going through a bit of a tough spell,” Kane admitted. “All of a sudden, he’s come back and said he’s retired.
“I can’t get my head around it, so we’re trying to get him back out of retirement to get out there and play. Just need to get him out there and once he has that feeling, I think he’ll be sweet. He’ll be back out there, I’ll get him out there.”
For reasons unknown, Eric Dier has chosen to follow in Gareth Bale’s footsteps by retiring from the sport of football, albeit in reverse. After a tough season this year, Dier appears to have had a change of heart, deciding to hang up his boots rather than continuing to play through his struggles. Harry Kane, a close friend of Dier’s, must have been surprised by the decision, perhaps wondering if Dier had been influenced by Bale during their time together at Tottenham Hotspur.
Bayern Munich’s Attack “Can Get Even Better”: Kompany
Despite Bayern Munich’s impressive tally of 29 goals in just eight Bundesliga matches this season, former Manchester City star Vincent Kompany has cautioned that the team’s potent attack may be just getting started. Kompany’s warning is a stark reminder of the German side’s incredible firepower and a reminder to the rest of the Bundesliga that they may be facing an even more formidable attacking force in the coming weeks and months.
Bayern Munich’s potent attack has been firing on all cylinders this season, with Harry Kane leading the charge with nine goals in eight games. New signing Michael Olise has hit the ground running, adding five goals and two assists to his tally, while Jamal Musiala has chipped in with four goals. Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman have contributed two goals each, while veteran Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané have also found the net.
In his Friday press conference, Vincent Kompany sang the praises of Bayern Munich’s lethal attack, stating: “We stay calm, wen see that the team is getting better and can get even better. That’s our focus.
“Union Berlin have the second-best defence in the league. Maybe we need to step it up a gear tomorrow. We want to give it everything we’ve got and hopefully pick up a win.”
