"I was a defender - my job was to stop creativity. But I spent my whole youth playing on the street, so I was fascinated by creativity. That's why I used to go to the stadium. Even at Bayern, the big names are always associated with creativity. Beckenbauer - the way he moved forward with the ball, played passes, utilised space."
"Imagine loving creativity and your team includes Michael Olise, Joshua Kimmich, Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, Lennart Karl, and Jamal Musiala to name a few. Similar to Julian Nagelsmann, the Belgian coach has good ideas but he needed the players to execute it (at least Kompany doesn't tinker too much). Suffice to say, Kompany already had the makings of a world class coach."
Vincent Kompany places creativity at the center of his football philosophy, shaped by street football roots and a background as a defender. He highlights the movement, passing and space usage of creative icons and values the variety of goals from forwards. Kompany aims to protect players who can do extraordinary things and foster that creativity on the pitch. Bayern Munich’s squad contains numerous creative talents — Michael Olise, Joshua Kimmich, Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, Lennart Karl and Jamal Musiala — and Kompany combines clear ideas with reliance on player execution, demonstrating the makings of a top coach.
