Trapattoni slams ‘inefficient’ Bayern Munich and Guardiola

The veteran trainer has hit out at the fashion for possession football, claiming that "jab jab" football is more effective than the current fad for tiki taka.

Former Bayern Munich boss Giovanni Trapattoni has hit out at the tactics of current coach Pep Guardiola, branding the Catalan's style as “inefficient.”

Although Bayern has prolonged its period of success under the former Barcelona boss and is well positioned to lift another Bundesliga title as well as challenge for the Champions League, the veteran Italian does not approve of the club's style.

“What I see in world football at the moment is true particularly for Bayern,” he told Sport Bild.
