Unusual praise
Matthäus: Kompany is like Lattek and Heynckes!
Lothar Matthäus is normally not sparing with his criticism when it comes to current soccer - but the record-breaking German international has a completely different take on Bayern Munich's new coach Vincent Kompany and puts him in the same league as coaching legends!
"With his manner, Kompany embodies the same as some of his predecessors who made history with FC Bayern 20, 30 or 40 years ago," said Matthäus in his column for Sky.
"I experienced Udo Lattek, Jupp Heynckes and Ottmar Hitzfeld myself and know how these coaches dealt with the players: sometimes tough, but always human. I believe that this honesty goes down well with the team," said the 63-year-old former professional.
"I like the game better under Kompany!"
Whether Bayern will one day be as successful under the 38-year-old Belgian as they were under Pep Guardiola remains to be seen, Matthäus wrote. "But I like the game better under Kompany. I've rarely or never seen that style of play."
