Bayern Munich drew 2-2 with Arsenal on Wednesday evening at the Allianz Arena in the third round of the Champions League. Jürgen Klopp criticised Vincent Kompany's tactical approach at Bayern Munich.
Klopp's view on the defence
GOAL reported that Klopp, now Germany's national team head coach, aired his confusion during the first half via the "DAZN" network over Bayern's defensive setup.
Klopp said: "I haven't fully understood Bayern's defensive system yet. Their style of play is sometimes hybrid; sometimes man-marking, sometimes individual defending, sometimes zonal defending. I just want to understand, I'm still learning."
His comments on Kane's positioning
The former Liverpool manager said: "It is also said that Harry Kane is everywhere on the pitch. I find that wonderful when Bayern have the ball. But when I see Kane in the last defensive line, or pressing in midfield... listen, I am not the father of football, and everyone is free to do as they wish, but I cannot say that I understand Bayern's way of playing."
Kompany's reply
Asked to respond, Kompany refused the bait and kept his reply to Kane's role alone.
Kompany said: "Harry is everywhere, and he is a player who makes the right decisions astonishingly often."
Kane's contribution
Harry Kane teed up Alphonso Davies before converting a penalty against Arsenal.
