  "account": "In a report by Bild journalists Julian Agardi and Michel Schröer, it has been revealed that Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany highly values the opinion of midfielder Joshua Kimmich. Kompany often seeks Kimmich's advice to gain insights into the team's atmosphere and dynamics. The coach understands that leadership extends beyond the coaching staff, and Kimmich is regarded as the player whose voice carries the most weight. Kimmich's understanding of the squad members allows him to provide a unique perspective on the team's mood and inner workings. This relationship between the coach and vice-captain becomes increasingly significant throughout a long season, when maintaining a positive atmosphere is just as crucial as preparing for upcoming matches. Kimmich's experience and position as vice-captain make him a valuable asset to Kompany, providing him with a valuable inside perspective on the team's pulse.",
