3 things improved at Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany
Best players playing in their best positions
Joshua Kimmich would have been playing in the right-back position in the past if two right-backs in the squad were injured. However, Vincent Kompany wants to use his best midfielder in the center of the park instead of utilizing him in the right-back position.
Kompany has made sure that the best players in the squad play in their natural positions. Kimmich has looked rejuvenated in the midfield, helping Bayern to dominate games by being the volume passer. The German international is also creating chances, which makes Bayern more potent in the final third.
There is a long way to go this season, but early impressions suggest Kompany is not a fan of square pegs in round holes, especially for the key players in the squad. Moreover, players also occupy their most productive zones on the pitch instead of being used in a fluid system.
This change from Kompany is very basic, but it helps in gaining the trust of the squad and also makes a positive impact on the pitch.
The early changes made by Kompany at Bayern have made the desired impact. He has successfully implemented an entertaining style of football at Bayern. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how flexible Kompany is and how he reacts to adversity.
