Following the Bavarians’ Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain, the youngster reflected on the team’s recent outing and pointed to defensive concerns after conceding five goals in Paris and three each against Mainz and Heidenheim.
However, Kompany firmly rejected his assessment of the side’s pressing approach, insisting the player had been mistaken in his analysis.
"No, of course not," the Belgian told Sky when asked if Bischof was correct. "He's a young player and he made a mistake in that interview.
"You can't counter-press a hundred times if you keep losing possession straight away. The issue isn't a lack of desire to counter-press; you simply can't win games that way.
“You don't have to win the game in the first ten or 15 minutes. You can counter-press once, twice, maybe three times, but eventually your legs will fade."
