Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany may not be utilizing Thomas Müller as much as people would’ve hoped for, but that’s not stopping the one-club man from recognizing the effect Kompany has on the team. “He knows what goes on in a dressing room”, the player began (BR24 as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia). “As a former captain of Belgium and Manchester City, he brings this experience with him, and he challenges us clearly and specifically. The diligence with which we’re working off the ball is being rewarded – with more possession, control and fun of the game.”
As exemplified by the Bavarians’ latest outing against Augsburg, the former had to play the waiting game for the most part as the latter focused on committing all outfield players to sit back in their own half to try and scrap a draw. Bayern pushed and pushed, and they were rewarded with a 3-0 win courtesy of Harry Kane’s hat-trick.
Kompany’s men are yet to have a ”statement game” against half-decent teams, but he still has chances to do so.
