Vincent Kompany has certainly improved his player management, giving most of the first team chances to play matches. Whether it’s bench players or youth players, they’re bound to get minutes at some point. The Belgian said that because he trusts his players, he gives them that chance.
“We trust all players we have, and we play them because of that,” Kompany announced (as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia). “We’ll continue to do so. The most important thing for me is to give the players I have all the confidence
to perform.”
The rotation is a visible improvement for him and the team, but it’s his ability to get Bayern playing peak football again that moves the fanbase. So is getting Harry Kane to churn out insane G/A figures and MOTMs every week like it’s a normal thing, revitalizing Sacha Boey and Serge Gnabry, and dialing in the defence.
Bayern Munich traveled to Cyprus to face a very feisty and game Pafos FC side in the Champions League and the game, well, went as expected.
The Bavarians dominated from start to finish and received another thoroughly dominant performance from the attacking group. And, yup, Harry Kane had a brace.
