Vincent Kompany responds to Mikel Arteta
Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany has responded to Mikel Arteta’s comments about being in a different world to Bayern and PSG.
Arteta, speaking about that 5-4 match in the first leg, claimed that both teams were able to do that because of the reduced schedule and minutes they played.
Kompany took the comments in good faith and did not see them as a criticism, claiming it is a scheduling problem in English football.
“I don’t want to comment too much, but obviously, having been in the Premier League for many years, if I read between the lines, it’s basically a calendar discussion,” Kompany said as quoted by Metro UK.
“I don’t think it’s a criticism on PSG or Bayern Munich or anything like this. It’s that fact that you have 38 games to play, plus the League Cup, plus the FA Cup, you don’t really have a winter break.”
The Premier League run a 20-team, 38-game season, while the French Ligue 1 and German Bundesliga run an 18-team, 34-game season.
England has the FA Cup and League Cup, while Germany has only the DFB Pokal. France had Coupe de France and Coupe de La Ligue, but abolished the latter to reduce the season schedule.
