German media: Kompany wanted to sign Boy when coaching Burnley, and reusing the latter made Bayern internally confused

German media "sport1" pointed out that Kompany continued to reuse Boy, which made Bayern club confused.

Sasha Boy was not doing well in both Wiesbaden and Augsburg. The French player is increasingly becoming a weak link in Bayern's defense. It has been more than a year and a half since joining Bayern Munich, but Boy has never really integrated into the team.

His mistakes have increased frequently, and sometimes even put the defending Bundesliga champions in serious trouble because of his way of handling the ball. Just last Saturday's game against Augsburg, it was his misjudgment in defense that led to his opponents regaining the rhythm of the game when they were behind 0-3.

What's more serious is that Boy's rough foul on Robin Fairhall hurt his reputation. Augsburg coach Sandro Wagner angrily criticized Boy for "lack of sportsmanship" after the game, especially because Boy left the scene as if nothing had happened after the foul rather than apologizing.

Although the 24-year-old made up for the apology the next day, most observers' judgment was clear: Boy seemed unable to do so on the court and could not meet Bayern Munich's requirements.

Objectively speaking, this full-back is indeed troubled by injuries many times. But it is also undeniable: when Boy appeared, he never became a positive factor in Bayern's game, but was more like a risk point that tends to act hasty.

According to SPORT1, even the club began to wonder why coach Kompany did not give his favorite player a "opportunity". There are growing doubts about Boy's situation.

Despite the shortage of personnel, Kompany can still get rid of his dependence on Boy by placing troops: Ironman Lemmer can easily play for 90 minutes, Stanisch and Guerrero, who often perform poorly, can be competent for the right-back position, and even Kimmich is an optional option in the critical stage.

But Kompany obviously has a preference for Boy. He had wanted to bring the player to Burnley to compete in the Premier League, which shows that the Belgian coach is more optimistic about Boy than other people in the club.

However, behind the scenes, Boy has been labeled as "failed to sign". Looking back at the 30 million euro transfer fee paid for him in the winter window of 2023-24, it is obviously too high, making him the second highest-priced full-back in Bayern's transfer history after Lucas Hernandez.

But Kompany sometimes has doubts about Boy: when he played against Paris in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, he first replaced the injured Stanisic with Boy, but replaced him at the end of the game. Boy, who was obviously confused at the time, should have regarded this as a warning.

Fortunately, the turmoil in Augsburg has now subsided. Unexpectedly, the opponent helped resolve the conflict. Augsburg general manager Michael Stell said in an interview with Boy through SPORT1 the next day after the game: "We should all calm down. He is a mortal after all, and should not be too harsh. "

But on the other hand, the player himself does need to work harder - otherwise he may not have a future in Munich. After all, Bayern Munich plans to carry out major lineup innovation in 2026.
