Bayern Munich boss won't stifle squad's creativity

"That's what it's all about for me at every moment. I want our technically strongest players to have the ball, the four or five up front leading the line. These are the guys who make the difference. The question is: How do we get the ball to them? How do we create space for them? How do we give them three or four options? A dribble, a one-two, a cross... If they have the choice, we've done a good job. Then they can show what only they can do,"

"Kompany giving his players such freedom has worked well and has, no doubt, been well-received by the team. The results have not been too bad either, eh?
