"The lads have real talent": Kompany praises Bayern’s troubled youngsters | OneFootball

Sacha Boey was in the starting eleven against Eintracht Frankfurt and was allowed to play for over 88 minutes. Even before the match, Vincent Kompany defended the somewhat criticized full-back of the German record champions.

Since Sacha Boey’s arrival at FC Bayern, he hasn’t really managed to play himself into the spotlight. The Frenchman never truly got beyond the role of a squad player; according to media reports, the FCB management had already considered selling Boey again last summer. However, Vincent Kompany is said to have advocated for him to stay.

In the 3-0 victory of Bayern over Eintracht Frankfurt, the 25-year-old was then surprisingly in the starting lineup and got 88 minutes of playing time. When asked by Sky what Boey brings to the team, Vincent Kompany explained: “If you look at the critics at Bayern, then you have no chance. Then you have to stop. The guys all have talent, otherwise they wouldn’t be here.”

Kompany: “You saw it with Serge…”

The Bayern coach drew a comparison in this context: “You saw it with Serge, with other guys too. They always come back and show what they can do. That’s why we—and I—have full confidence in every single player. I don’t worry too much about who starts or not, because I know they can all do it.”

Currently, Bayern are missing two full-backs in Josip Stanisic and Alphonso Davies. Hiroki Ito—who would be a candidate for the left-back position—also has to sit out at the moment due to injury. Therefore, Boey could get more playing time in the coming months.

However, Stanisic is already expected back at Bayern after the international break, as Kompany explained at the press conference on Friday.
