incent Kompany Defends Serge Gnabry: “Very Underrated and Still Important for Bayern Munich”
Burnley manager and former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has jumped to the defense of Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry, describing him as “very underrated” and still an essential piece in the Bavarian giants’ squad. Kompany’s remarks come amid mounting criticism of Gnabry following an inconsistent run of form and growing speculation about his future at the Allianz Arena.
Backing from a Respected Voice
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Kompany highlighted Gnabry’s qualities and downplayed recent doubts about his relevance in a star-studded Bayern team.
“People forget how much Serge has contributed to Bayern Munich over the years,” Kompany stated. “He’s very underrated. His movement, intelligence, and ability to deliver in big moments often go unnoticed. In a team with so many big names, it’s easy to overlook his importance.”
The Belgian tactician, who faced Gnabry during his own playing days and now observes him from the managerial sidelines, pointed out that the winger’s versatility is a valuable asset in today’s tactical setups.
“Serge can play across the front line, he can score goals, create chances, and press effectively. For a coach, that flexibility is gold,” Kompany added.
