  "account": "Bayern Munich defender Jonathan Tah has expressed gratitude towards former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany for his pivotal role in boosting Tah's performance. Having spent a decade at Bayer Leverkusen before joining Bayern in 2025, Tah has become the most-used center-back under Kompany in the 2025/26 season. Kompany, a former center back himself, has shown great attention and assistance to Tah in training, which has significantly improved Tah's skills. \"He has improved me a lot,\" Tah said, \"He’s someone who really sees the whole picture. Looks beyond the game, beyond the pitch. He's really focused on developing the personality of a player and wants me to be a leader like he was.\" With Tah's evolving role within the team, he seems to have made substantial improvements under Kompany, potentially becoming a vital piece of Bayern Munich's puzzle for the rest of the season and beyond.",
