"The Belgian coach, a former defender himself, is at the helm of one of Europe's most fearsome attacks and spoke about incorporating the outrageous set of weapons in his arsenal into what still needs to be a coherent style of play. Do you just take Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala, and say: let them cook? Well, sort of. In Kompany's philosophy, it is more about carving out 'space for creativity' - that is, the freedom within the structure."
"These are the guys who make the difference. The question is: How do we get the ball to them? How do we create space for them? How do we give them three or four options? A dribble, a one-two, a cross... If they have the choice, we've done a good job. Then they can show what only they can do."
Vincent Kompany deploys a Bayern side built around elite attackers while insisting on a coherent structural framework that creates space for creativity. The strategy emphasizes getting the ball to the technically strongest players and supplying them with multiple options—dribble, one-two, cross—so they can exploit decisive moments. The team chased a Bundesliga goals record for much of the season through a fearsome attacking arsenal including Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala and others. Recent matches show a scoring dip: two goals across four fixtures, dropped points twice, and only one clean sheet in seven games amid returns from injury for key players.
