Bayern Munich demonstrated an array of attacking power and interesting tactical set ups that allowed the team to steamrollHolstein Kiel, with the team 4-0 up at halftime and running up the scoreline to a 6-1 finish today. But, looking at the scoreline, it is clear that not all went well. Despite not conceding a single shot in the first half, the home side did manage to score a late goal to ruin Manuel Neuer’s clean sheet. In fact, they even hit the woodwork twice. Is this something to be worried about?
This is the question reporters asked head coach Vincent Kompany after the match and @iMiaSanMia captured Kompany’s straightforward answer: “No, I’m not worried. We defended very well. When you make 5 substitutions in the second half, it can happen that sometimes you’re one step too late or you don’t defend some situations 100% as you did in the first half. It shouldn’t happen, but it’s also good for us that we have these scenes to show the team that we can do better.”
