Kompany criticizes Bayern’s versatile youngster
Kompany criticizes Bayern’s versatile youngster Vincent Kompany responds to Tom Bischof’s insights about why FC Bayern conceded too many goals recently. The 20-year-old player was unusually honest in agreeing with the points made by the Sky reporter who was asking him the tough questions. "We're simply not doing the basic things anymore,” said the German U21 international before revealing that the time he spent on the sidelines due to injury helped him to see the issues clearly.
“I've seen a few games from the stands, unfortunately. The counter-pressing right after we lose the ball is missing lately. I noticed that from the outside.
" When Bayern’s coach was asked about what he thinks about Bischof’s statements, he responded with a lengthy answer as usual. “No, of course I don’t agree with him,” started Kompany as he went against his player. “The young player made a mistake in this interview.
You can't counter-press a hundred times if you lose possession quickly. That's the problem. The problem isn't the intention behind the counter-pressing,” added Kompany before ending his verdict in a bit of a relaxed manner.
“I'll definitely speak to him (Bischof) about it. I'm sure he'll say the exact same thing in a few years. ” Bayern finally managed to keep a clean sheet on Saturday, but Jonas Urbig's multiple first-half saves were needed in the narrow win over Wolfsburg.
