This is how Kompany wants to play football at FC Bayern
With regard to his way of playing football, Kompany made it clear that he „believes that if you stand for something, it has to be in line with your own values.“
He describes these values as follows: „I grew up in the streets of Brussels, where we love playing with the ball. We are creative. I like players who are brave on the ball. But I’ve also always been a very strong tackler and I want the team to embody that. I also want the team to be brave and play physically.“
