Former Bundesliga coach: Kompany criticized Karl for disrespecting his opponent at the end of the game against Borussia Monchengladbach

Bayern star Lennart Karl scored again against Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend. Former Bundesliga coach Ewald Linen revealed a scene about Karl in the game on the podcast "Der Sechzehner".

Ewald Linen revealed that his son Josha was at the game as a photographer during last weekend's game, and he noticed an unusual scene: "Towards the end of the game, Karl must have done something disrespectful towards Monchengladbach - this was some kind of behavior, and an old-school defender would definitely have done it. Then tackle him. The coach will definitely catch him after the game and give him a scolding."

In fact, there was a scene in the 90th minute of the game. This may be what Lining was referring to: Karl faced two Borussia players at the front of the penalty area. He first pretended to shoot, and then made two bicycle movements before passing the ball.

Is this disrespect or provocation? The "Bild" article pointed out that this is more like a scene that people will see in every game of Barcelona star Yamar or Real Madrid star Vinicius, and it is these actions that young fans cheer for. But: when Karl was making just his 11th professional appearance for Bayern, he probably shouldn't have gone too far - which may have been the reason for Kompany's good-natured scolding.

Liening, who played more than 300 times for Borussia Monchengladbach as a player, believes that Kompany will handle the matter properly: "Someone like Vincent Kompany will say the right words and he is in the right position."

Bayern will face Cologne in the second round of the German Cup on Wednesday night. At yesterday's pre-match press conference, Karl also became a topic again. Kompany also praised Karl again: "He brings something magical: goals and the relaxation of young people."
