Our read
3,407 minutes and 63.1 percent, in a season where the improvement was less about how often he played than about what he was trusted to do with the ball. The progress under Kompany is in the build-up: he is now the one the side plays through rather than around. With a contract to 2029 and Kimmich ahead of him, the target this season is not more minutes, it is becoming the one the team cannot be set up without.
