The label of “7e Choix“which he was decked up on his arrival, still sticks to sneakers like an old chewing gum. She reappears like doubts at each poor performance. After the setback at Aston Villa, slap at Barça, eliminations in Trophy And in C1, invariably, the waves of criticism fell on the shoulders of Kompany. Fortunately, they are wide and the ex-defenseman with hard skin. “Kompany is someone who never looks at perception, he doesn’t care. And that is very rare in football. He has his own idea of things, his line of conduct and everyone can say that his approach is ridiculous, will remain convinced that it is the path to follow. I knew him in his early days, he took his first steps, he was still looking for his bearings and we criticized him here in Belgium. But we immediately saw that his ceiling would not be Belgium and today he proves in Bayern Munich that he is in the right one“, Recently testified Colin Coosemansin the grill.
This conviction of being right was criticized in Germany. For some, it is downright cause of elimination in the face of Inter. Its stubbornness not to set off the icon Thomas Müller would be the reason for the fall of a Bayern who dreamed of playing the final of the C1 in his lair. But for those who rubbed shoulders with him, it is a slightly expeditious trial. Vince The Prince overflows with confidence, but he also knows how to listen. “”I know that the outside world has the image of a Sir I know everythingbut this is not at all the case. Vincent Kompany is very humble and is ready to learn from everyone. Above all, he trusts and gives room for his assistants. He knows what he wants, he has a vision … but he is neither blind nor deaf to advice“, underlines Jonas De Roeckone of his assistants in Anderlecht, in another episode of grill.
This faith in him, he can in an unusual work force. “”Vincent is really the king of Belgian coaches currently. And he deserves it, because it is a work beast: he works 18 hours a day, he lights his PC upon waking up and he only turns him off 5 minutes before going to sleep. I have never seen someone so invested in their task“Recalls Colin Cosemans.
Kompany is a leader of men, a leader by example. Rather than stupidly sanction his players, he “invite“To stay at the training center as late as him. A way to show that you have to work, be demanding to aim for excellence.
Despite his player experience, his background, the ex-captain of the Devils and City does not rest on his achievements. Not everything was perfect this season. Of course the cup routes and C1 remain across the throat. We must not forget where Bayern comes from. Thomas Tuchel Leave a divided wardrobe, a team in search of identity. Last season the Record champion had “failed“To an unusual 3rd place. His worst ranking since 2011. The Bavarians had shone in Champions League (elimination in quarters) and even less in the cup (elimination in the 2nd round).
