Bring resilience back in the team to avoid collapses during games
The biggest problem for Bayern in the last 18 months has been collapses during games when things are not going their way. They have struggled to cope when the opposition is on top, and they have to grind out victories. Die Roten suffered humiliating defeats away from home last season in the Bundesliga.
Kompany needs to instill resilience and togetherness in the squad that can help them get through adversity. Bayern are expected to play free-flowing football every weekend, but it is not practically possible. They are bound to have off days when the opposition is playing better. In such situations, it is the resilience and grit of the team that gets over the line.
The Belgian coach will also play a key role from the sidelines to help the team during difficult phases. Good game management can go a long way in helping the team to avoid collapsing in games. There is no doubt Die Roten will win games by playing a good brand of football next season, but how the team responds to adversity away from home will decide if they are ready to win big trophies again.
