“Highly underrated player”: Kompany heaps special praise on Gnabry | OneFootball

Serge Gnabry delivered a strong performance against RB Leipzig on Friday evening, and after the game, the 30-year-old received special praise from coach Vincent Kompany. Is Gnabry the Musiala replacement for the coming months?

The FC Bayern offense put on a gala performance in the 6-0 win over RB Leipzig. Michel Olise, Luis Díaz, Serge Gnabry, and Harry Kane were all in top condition. The combinations of the four attackers were a real treat for the spectators in the Allianz Arena. Gnabry played in the central offensive midfield, a position that has been the subject of much discussion in recent weeks.

After Jamal Musiala's injury, the Bayern team lacked a suitable replacement in that position. Gnabry was already used in that position in the Supercup in Stuttgart, and now he has put himself back in the spotlight. At the press conference after the big win, Vincent Kompany was asked about Gnabry's form.

The 39-year-old explained: "Serge is a very underrated player. There are, of course, opinions outside and the opinion of his teammates. I think he is a very underrated player, he has very few weaknesses. He has always been important for FC Bayern in big games in the past."

Kimmich also enormously impressed by Gnabry

Kompany sang a veritable hymn of praise to Gnabry and continued: "If you're honest, there are hardly any highlights without a goal or an assist from Serge. That doesn't surprise me, because that's his normal level. I'm happy for him. He has played this central role for the national team and for us in the past. I'm glad we have this opportunity with Serge in the center."

Joshua Kimmich was also impressed by Gnabry on Friday evening. After the game, he said: "When we went into the dressing room at halftime, I already told him that he had played exceptionally well. He made incredibly good decisions and was very dynamic. That was an outstanding performance."

In recent months, Gnabry has often been criticized for his inconsistent performances. The national player was therefore repeatedly mentioned as a potential transfer candidate for the Bayern team. Now, however, his performance curve seems to be trending upward again.
