Davies delighted to play under "brilliant" Kompany

Vincent Kompany has made a great impression on Alphonso Davies since replacing Thomas Tuchel as Bayern Munich coach in the summer.

“He is a very brilliant guy," Davies said in an interview with The Athletic, adding: 

"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.”

Bayern won their first six competitive games under the Belgian coach, but their recent games haven't gone according to plan results-wise, with the Bavarians on a winless run of three matches.

Davies' future at Bayern Munich is in doubt, with the left-back out of contract at the end of the season.

So far, the Canada international has been unable to agree a new deal with the Bavarians, with the player's wage demands said to be the sticking point.
