With several senior players still unavailable, Vincent Kompany once again entrusted a number of academy prospects with meaningful minutes. While standout moments, such as Bastian Assomo’s goal, grabbed the headlines, Kompany made it clear after the match that the bigger picture is the development of these young players rather than immediate results.
“We shouldn’t forget that we don’t have all the young players with us here: for example, (Cassiano) Kiala, (David Santos) Daiber, Wisdom Mike, (Erblin) Osmani. It’s always important to give the youngsters information, help them, challenge them. For me there’s no pressure on these youngsters, it’s a learning curve for them. For example Basti Assomo and the goal he scored, we know that he was capable of that — he still has many things to improve as a striker — but for it was good for a 16-year-old to score. Guido (Della Rovere) and (Felipe) Chávez are a bit older than Basti. There are guys who are ready for the next step, whether with us or elsewhere. We have to support them on this path. They have to keep going,” Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Those comments offer an insight into Kompany’s approach to youth development. Rather than placing unrealistic expectations on teenagers, he is focused on creating an environment where they can learn, make mistakes, and continue improving. Even after Assomo found the back of the net, Kompany emphasized that the 16-year-old still has areas of his game to refine.
Just as importantly, Kompany acknowledged the progress of players like Della Rovere and Chávez, suggesting that several members of Bayern Munich’s young core are approaching the next stage of their development, whether that comes with the first team or through opportunities elsewhere.
It is a patient, long-term philosophy that could pay significant dividends for Bayern Munich in the years to come.
