I think you're trying to water down the achievements of Vincent Kompany with your opinion. Remember Bayern Munich was being managed by a top manager like Thomas Tuchel last season but they finished the season without a trophy but this season, they're on course to win the German Bundesliga title. I know Bayern Munich before last season had dominated the German league for more than a decade but the fact that they had a very poor campaign last season and are now doing exceptionally well is the reason why I think Vincent Kompany deserves all the applauds he's currently getting and even deserves more
You are right, Kompany deserves a lot of the praise he is getting right now. After all, they have managed to break Leverkusen's dominance last season. Regardless of whether it was Leverkusen's decline or the tougher competition from Munich, Kompany has managed to play a game full of confidence this season. Although the points gap is still not far many have praised him for the improved performance shown by Munich. They are strong and very ready for the Bundesliga trophy.
