Kompany confident Bayern are on the right track despite winless run

MUNICH, Germany : Bayern Munich have failed to record a win in their last three games but coach Vincent Kompany said on Friday no major changes are needed and that victories are just around the corner. The Bavarians top the Bundesliga on 14 points, ahead of RB Leipzig on goal difference, and will look to protect their slim lead when they host in-form VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.

Kompany's team, however, have been far from convincing in recent weeks, having lost to Aston Villa in the Champions League and drawn with Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

They will need to quickly turn things around against Stuttgart with a busy match schedule ahead, including a trip to Barcelona next week in the Champions League.

"We know we have to do things better but we have 100 per cent faith that our way will be successful. Hopefully, we will take the next step in the next game," Kompany told a press conference.

The Bavarians were largely dominant against Villa and Eintracht but lost 1-0 in England and drew 3-3 in Frankfurt after conceding a stoppage-time equaliser.

"I come from Belgium so we are very pragmatic, much like the Germans," said Kompany, who is in his first season in Munich. "It is not only the belief but also what the analyses showed.

"We were dominant in those games (against Villa and Eintracht). We had, many, many more chances than our opponents.

"Of course we have to be better, to optimise, but I believe if we are objective it would be stupid to change everything just because the results were not right.

"We will keep fighting to win games but we are convinced we will win many games in the future."
