"Like every coach at Bayern, I faced the same challenge: finding the right starting eleven and winning. It's about giving the players confidence and stability. I never had any problems with performances, even in games we lost, the performances were there. We played in the Club World Cup and had very little time off. We decided to keep the squad small and competitive."
"It made sense to trust all players," Kompany stated (via @iMiaSanMia). Kompany's assurance is paying off. Players like Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Itō recently made their respective returns to the squad and Jamal Musiala has even returned to team training (albeit on a limited, non-contact basis). Come January, Bayern Munich will have a very strong and balanced roster - something that certainly appeals to Kompany."
Vincent Kompany started at Bayern a year and a half ago and prioritized finding the right starting eleven while building confidence and stability among players. Performances remained solid even in losses. The team played in the Club World Cup and had very little downtime, prompting a decision to keep the squad small and competitive. The squad has grown as players return. Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Itō have rejoined the squad, and Jamal Musiala returned to training on a limited, non-contact basis. Bayern is expected to have a strong, balanced roster by January.
