Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich side has been a real revelation this season, breaking long untouched records and becoming one of the most hyped teams on the planet for the beautiful and devastatingly effective football played. But amid all that hype, Kompany knows not to get carried away.

“I always say: don’t believe the hype, don’t believe the drama,” Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “When I arrived here at Bayern, I’d been promoted with 101 points, then relegated with 20 [with Burnley FC], then won the league here – two years ago I was the worst manager and today I’m the very best. If you let yourself be influenced by all that noise, you’ll end up getting worse. It’s nicer this way, but I can live with criticism. It really doesn’t matter to me.”

Kompany has mentioned how little he cares about hype in previous press conferences but it is impressive how consistently he puts this mentality into practice.
