While the youngster likely did not think he was starting something, the coach wanted to nip it in the bud immediately. After the match, Bischof had this assessment of Bayern Munich’s 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg: “We’re simply not doing the basic things anymore. We’re lacking that counter-pressing immediately after losing possession.

I’ve noticed that from the sidelines. That’s why we’re making so many long runs – and conceding so many goals. ” Maybe it was an honest assessment, maybe it was a critique, but either way, Kompany let it be known that he did not agree with Bischof.

“No, of course not. The young player made a mistake in this interview. You can’t counter-press a hundred times if you lose possession quickly.
