'We take it very seriously' - Stand-in Bayern coach Danks on Kompany's health

I think I've been coaching for a long time and a large majority of that has been working with young players, been working with youth development. I think what Lenny's going through is completely normal, especially at such a big football club like this and such a high level. Everybody expects and hopes that the journey is going to be linear and straight to the top, but really it's a rollercoaster. There's going to be ups, downs, dips in performance, moments of high confidence, moments of low confidence. I think the only thing that we can show Lenny His belief in him, show him our support, keep work, continue to work with him, continue to push him to work hard. Yeah, obviously their defensive record this season is also very good. They've conceded the fewest amount of goals so far in the Bundesliga and I think they were similar last year. So we know that they're a good defensive unit and we're used to coming up against those type of teams. We're used to coming up against teams. I think Arsenal hadn't conceded in the Champions League before they played us, so we'll be ready for that and we'll have our options in terms of attack. I don't think they're just a defensive team, they've got some talented attacking players. I know a few of the players from when I was back in England. So, they've got some real attacking threats in their team as well. So, I think when you play these top-level games, you can't just focus on one part of the game. You have to be ready in almost every phase of the game to be ready to perform. No, no, absolutely not. Absolutely not. We're taking it very seriously. I'm under strict instructions from Max and Christoph to not engage in those conversations and not... fill Vince's mind with anything other than his health, his family time, we're taking it very serious. We want him to rest. We want him to recover well. So when he comes back to us, he's at his full capacity to help us. So no, we're really strict on this and we're leaving Vince alone completely from the football. Yeah, I think there are differences. I think Vince was clear with us that he didn't want His assistant coach used to be mini-vinis and everybody doing the exact same thing all the time. So we're all different, but we all complement each other. So the analogy that I use with the coaching staff is the zebra and the ostrich. So the zebra and the ostrich live together in the savannah. and they have this mutual relationship so the zebra has a really good hearing and really good sense of smell but his eyesight's not great so if he smells something or hears something he goes and the ostrich follows but the ostrich has got really big eyes and he's got incredible eyesight so if he sees something and goes the zebra follows and we've got to be zebras and ostriches we can't all have the same opinion we can't all have the same view of things we have to look at it slightly differently
