The Bayern youngster apparently behaved disrespectfully—possibly with provocative stepovers or other antics. “Something that would have prompted an old-school defender to make a final tackle,” Lienen described the scene. According to information from Absolut Fussball, the soccer portal of Home of Sports, the scene involved Karl’s multiple step-overs in the final stages of the game.
“The coach must have grabbed him after the game and given him a dressing down,” Lienen said, describing his son’s observation. The cameraman even heard the lecture as he walked through Borussia Park with his equipment.
According to our information, however, the “run-in” was not as bad as it seemed. The Bayern coach did not approve of the action either. Kompany therefore told Karl that he should not provoke unnecessarily in such situations. Other opponents might react differently.
