Bayern legend Babel recently talked about the employment of Kompani in an interview with sports.de and criticized Kompani's use of young players.

Babel: What I like most is that he doesn't have the courage to use young players. The Club World Cup was actually set up for this purpose. When you play against a team like Oakland City, he will give young players a chance and give them a stage to show their strength.

Babel: What we are talking about is a really capable young genius! These people are not useless guys! He would never just ask someone to throw it in, just because he got a ranking there and could mingle with professional players. These are the top young players in Germany and even Europe. What a pity, no one can really emerge.

Babel: Bayern has invested too much money in youth training, and it is impossible for no player to be excellent enough to enter the first team. No one can convince me of this. Of course, you also need a coach, a director, a leadership team, and they all need to have the courage to use young players.

In this Club World Cup, 17-year-old Carl played against Oakland City and performed well, but has not been able to get another chance since then.

In addition, 19-year-old Aznu also failed to get too many opportunities, especially when Bayern's left-back was short of players, he ended his loan at Valladolid early and missed the game with the Moroccan national team in early June, just to ensure he was ready for the Club World Cup, but in the end he only played for 8 minutes against Auckland City in the entire game.
