Always,” said Kompany. What Kompany will give Bayern? Kompany said that he will keep things simple as a coach and he wants to just give everything to win in the end. “For my side it is simple. What you coach is who you are as a person,” Kompany told a news conference on Thursday. “My personality is I grew I grew up on the streets of Brussels, I was in the academy of Anderlecht where from the age of six to 20 you have to win everything.” Kompany said that he will bring in a clear vision to the team and will implement it. “I coached one of the youngest teams in Belgium and one of the smallest teams in England. What I bring to the table are things that will help the players to improve. I have a clear vision and will also implement it here in Germany,” said Kompany.
