Alphonso Davies hails Vincent Kompany's impact at Bayern Munich as full-back opens up on 'very intense' style

Bundesliga

Bayern Munich

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/burnley-bayern-munich-vincent-kompany-baffling-appointment-shambolic-search-thomas-tuchel-replacement/blt69ea5aeb5653c948" target="_blank">Kompany left Burnley for Bayern</a> this summer and has had a positive start at the German giants. His management style has impressed left-back Davies - who is clearly enjoying his presence at the Bundesliga outfit.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5836293/2024/10/12/alphonso-davies-canada-captain-interview/" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a>: “He is a very brilliant guy. The way that we’re playing now is very intense. He picks the best team and the best players to put on the team that train well. Every training session is a battle for the starting spot. Nothing is guaranteed. The way he talks to the team, he is polite but firm. He has ideas and we’re executing them well.”</p>

WHAT ALPHONSO DAVIES SAID

<p>After coming a distant second to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bayer-leverkusen--xabi-alonso-finish-bundesliga-season-unbeaten/blt08fd2a02dbf933b6" target="_blank">Bundesliga winners Bayer Leverkusen last season,</a> Kompany's Bayern are joint top of the table after six matches with RB Leipzig. Incidentally, Canada international Davies - who is out of contract next summer - has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-om/lists/real-madrid-alphonso-davies-bayern-munich-canada-kylian-mbappe/blte997d611a1ded9aa" target="_blank">linked with a transfer exit from Bayern </a>but perhaps Kompany can convince him to stay if they continue to thrive on the pitch.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 23-year-old is likely to feature for Bayern in their next Bundesliga clash at home to Stuttgart on Saturday, October 19. They then travel to Barcelona in the Champions League on October 23.</p>
