Tom Bischof has often played out of position to get on the field for Bayern Munich, including appearances at full-back. His experience in those roles has increased his comfort rather than hindering him. He credits head coach Vincent Kompany with giving him confidence to play both left-back and right-back, describing the trust he feels as a major boost. Bischof says Kompany coached him extensively at the start, guiding him with every move, and that he is now seeing how much those lessons have helped. His playing time has dropped since moving from TSG Hoffenheim, which has affected his chances for Germany’s World Cup squad, but his development continues through his Bayern experience.
""I've learned a lot from him giving me the confidence to play left-back and right-back. He simply makes me feel like he trusts me," Bischof said in comments captured by Sky Germany, via @iMiaSanMia. "I think that gives a player, and me in particular, a tremendous amount."
""In the beginning, he helped me immensely, coaching me a lot with every single move, and now I'm realizing just how much that's brought me. I've never had a season where I've learned as much as I have under him.""
"Bischof has spent a fair amount of the season playing out of position just to get on the field. But rather than hindering him, his cameos at full-back have only served to increase his comfort on the pitch - and he is thankful to head coach Vincent Kompany for the experience."
