Getting out of form world class players back to their best
Harry Kane was the standout player for Bayern Munich last season, as he consistently scored goals. However, the rest of the world-class players in the squad lacked confidence. The string of poor performances didn’t do them any favours.
Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies looked a shadow of themselves this season. Kompany has managed to reinvigorate them this season. Kimmich has become the conductor of the team in the center of the park. Davies has looked brilliant at both ends of the pitch while playing in the left-back position.
Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry have also looked like their older self after a torrid campaign. The senior wingers still face an uncertain future in Munich, but at least they look closer to the best this season. Jamal Musiala recently revealed that an intense conversation with Kompany has helped him take his game to the next level this season.
The Belgian coach has played to the strengths of the squad and helped world-class players regain confidence, which is a sign of great man-management.
While the Bundesliga title is far from over, Kompany’s approach to management and coaching has put Bayern in pole position to win the title. Tougher tests lie ahead for the Belgian coach, but his positive changes in no time bode well for the club’s goals of winning silverware.
