Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is not one to be trifled with and has already established some stringent rules that are focused on players being mature and responsible.
If they are not…there are consequences per Sport Bild journalist Tobi Altschäffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):
Vincent Kompany has implemented some new internal rules to keep the group together and show his authority:
• Whoever is late before training does not have to pay a fine, but instead has to stay at the training ground at least for as long as the coach (players usually leave at 13:00 after the morning training, while Kompany stays at least until 16:00) – this rule was appreciated by the club’s bosses
• Whoever is late to the video sessions is not allowed to attend them. You either be punctual or the session takes place without you
Even more, Kompany is trying to establish an environment built on clear communication and openness:
• Kompany sends the matchday squad on the internal Whatsapp group, but not the lineup. If there’s a tricky decision involving someone, the coach speaks to the player and informs him beforehand. Leon Goretzka, for example, was informed personally by Kompany that he wouldn’t be in the squad on matchday 3.
The new boss is doing a lot of the right things to establish a true team culture of accountability in the locker room. Kompany does not bash his players via the media, he keeps all criticism in-house, and treats the players with a lot of respect.
Now, if he can solve how to consistently beat a low block, he might really be cooking here.
