  WHAT ALPHONSO DAVIES SAID

  He told : “He is a very brilliant guy. The way that we’re playing now is very intense. He picks the best team and the best players to put on the team that train well. Every training session is a battle for the starting spot. Nothing is guaranteed. The way he talks to the team, he is polite but firm. He has ideas and we’re executing them well.”

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  After coming a distant second to Bundesliga winners Bayer Leverkusen last season, Kompany's Bayern are joint top of the table after six matches with RB Leipzig. Incidentally, Canada international Davies – who is out of contract next summer – has been linked with a transfer exit from Bayern but perhaps Kompany can convince him to stay if they continue to thrive on the pitch.
