Three o'clock in the morning is not lonely

In European football this summer, many clubs are busy changing managers.

On May 29, Barcelona and Bayern Munich officially announced their new coaches, the former ushered in the Champions League champion coach Flick, and the latter ushered in the Championship champion coach Kompany.

Although the level of a coach cannot be judged only by how many honors he has won in the past. But Kompany's coaching of Bayern is still a bit too unexpected.

When the new coach takes office, it is normal for fans to look good or not, but now Bayern fans are discussing it as if it is no longer a question of whether they are optimistic or not.

How outrageous is Bayern's hiring of Vincent Kompany as head coach? What can make so many Bayern fans so desperate?

Vincent Kompany's management of Bayern Munich feels outrageous, and his thin resume is just one of the reasons.

Among the coaches used by Bayern or other giants, there are many people with less qualifications than Kompany, and there may be many who have a lower level of coaching than Kompany.

When Pep Guardiola started coaching Barcelona and Zinedine Zidane started coaching Real Madrid, his resume as a manager was weaker than that of Kompany, right? Were Barcelona or Real Madrid fans desperate at that time?

Think about it carefully, what are the types of coaches hired by wealthy clubs?

The first category, the handsome.

For the giants, the standard of a famous handsome must be the best in the world.

Ferguson, Bosque, Lippi of the year...... Today's Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, Klopp...... Jose Mourinho, Rafael Benitez, Pochettino, who were once brilliant but not so well...... It's all handsome.

Tuchel, who Bayern just sent away, is of course also a famous coach.

The second category, famous accommodation.

As mentioned earlier, Pep Guardiola is to Barcelona and Zidane is to Real Madrid, both belong to the famous coaches. Frank Lampard is in charge of Chelsea and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in charge of Manchester United.

From this point of view, if Pep Guardiola leaves Manchester City and Kompany goes back to take over Manchester City, there will not be such a big controversy. Because he is following the path of a famous coach, Manchester City fans must be more receptive to him.

The third category is coaches who have achieved outstanding results but have not yet coached in a big club.

Chelsea poached Mourinho back then, Liverpool hired Jurgen Klopp, and Paris sought Tuchel in this nature. Manchester United's invitation to Ten Hag is actually part of this kind of operation.

Liverpool's new coach Slote is a little worse than those guys, but he led Feyenoord to win the Eredivisie last year and the Eredivisie runner-up this year, which can be regarded as a good hand.

Vincent Kompany coaches Bayern, what is the situation?

He obviously doesn't get along with the first two, and as for the third, he doesn't quite fit it either.

If he had led Burnley to Bayern Munich last year after seven rounds of early wins, it would barely be considered a third scenario. But this past season, his side Burnley were relegated with second-to-last finish......

Somewhat coincidentally, the manager that Chelsea are now ready to invite is none other than this year's Championship winners boss Maresca.

Chelsea's move will also be controversial, but at least it is more logical than Bayern's.

Maresca won the Championship this year, which is equivalent to Kompany's at this time last year, and he is in the highlight of his coaching career. In addition, the promotion of the Championship champion manager to coach the Premier League giants, at least in English football circles, does not sound so outrageous.

Conversely, can you imagine Manchester United suddenly bringing in a Bundesliga-winning manager to take charge of the team? And it was also last year's Bundesliga champion, and this year led the team to relegation from the Bundesliga.

If Bayern's new coach selection is compared with Liverpool and Chelsea, it can be said that the new managers of the three teams are not worth optimism. But it is also not optimistic, but the selection ideas of Liverpool and Chelsea make more sense.

Bayern, as a Bundesliga giant, hired a Belgian who had a successful career in the English second division as a coach, a choice that is hard to find a good reason from any angle, and the fans really can't be blamed for complaining.

Of course, Bayern also had their frustrations, and they didn't want to find a coach like Kompany from the beginning.

Bayern have been in contact with managers such as Marcos Alonso, Nagelsmann, Jurgen Klopp, Demichelis, Rangnick and even Ten Hag, but they have all been rejected. Don't think Ten Hag is outrageous, Teng Shuai has coached Bayern Munich in the second team before, and if he comes to coach Bayern, it really makes sense.

At this point, no amount of doubts and controversy can change the fact that Kompany is in charge of Bayern. Let's think about it on a positive note, what are the advantages of Kompany's management of Bayern?

From the management's point of view, Kompany is cheap, easy to manage, and speaks German. Fluency in German is good for him to communicate with the players and even more so with the management.

But then again, how fluent is Kompany's German, can he be more fluent than Tuchel?

The fans are not the management, the main concern of the fans is the results and whether they are playing well or not.

There is no need to worry about playing well, because Kompany is a proud disciple of Pep Guardiola, and he himself is a big fan of pass-and-control play.

Which style of play he likes is his active choice, and as for what height he can reach in this style, he needs real skills.

The fans must not have watched much of the games he coached before, so now we can only judge from some of his qualities, what can he bring to a team?

Although Kompany, who is a central defender, likes to pass and control, he should not be bad in terms of understanding and attention to defense. He captained both Belgium and Manchester City, and when he played, he was the mainstay and spiritual leader of the team, and sitting in the dugout should have a way to keep the team together.

All in all, it will be unclear what Kompany can do with Bayern Munich at the start of next season.
