FC Bayern: Coach Vincent Kompany wanted to prevent Manuel Neuer from being sent off | sport

Failed Kompany attempt!

Die Bavaria lost 0-1 in the round of 16 against defending champions Leverkusen. Tella ended all final dreams in the 69th minute.

The exciting scene of the party: the expulsion of Manuel Neuer (38). A long ball flies towards his penalty area. Neuer hesitates at first, then comes out. But Frimpong is already on the ball. Neuer completely checks him out. Referee Osmers immediately pulls out the red card! Neuer initially discusses the matter, then leaves the field disappointed.

After the final whistle, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany (38) analyzed the key scene with Neuer on ARD with presenter Esther Sedlaczek (39) and former national player Bastian Schweinsteiger (40).

Kompany explains as he watches the Neue scene again: “I think the first mistake…Okay, we still have coverage. It’s not like he suddenly goes one-on-one on goal. The ball goes away from the goal. We have Konny (Laimer, editor), who is in a good position, and then we have to fall a little faster with the whole back four – as you can see, it’s actually 4 against 1 – and then this scene doesn’t happen. I called from the side, that was my position, but it was a little too late.”

He didn’t see that coming!Painful effort from the linesman

Schweini also thinks that Laimer could have gotten there. “In this situation you can say that Laimer might still get there.” But that’s just the danger you always have when you play like that…”

In the end it doesn’t make any difference – Bayern are not traveling to Berlin for the fifth time in a row this season, but can only watch the quarter-finals in the new year on TV.
