Vincent Kompany is not the most personable man-manager. While his media tendency is to protect his players from criticism and draw attention towards their effort and endeavour, privately he is not known for explaining selection decisions or taking time to tell individual players why they are not in the team.
Kompany gives short shrift to players' complaints or to those who moan or sulk. In a sense, he is egalitarian: he wants players to prove that they deserve to be playing. That places particular emphasis on training.
On the surface, a coach who does not feel like he has to explain his decisions and who relies on the performance principle sounds great. In reality, though, things could get complicated with a roster like the one in Bavaria.
