‘He didn’t get that from his dad’: Klopp jokes about Bayern legend after Ruben van Bommel assist | OneFootball

Jürgen Klopp hailed Ruben van Bommel’s defence-splitting pass for the Netherlands’ equaliser against Germany on Thursday, then aimed a playful dig at the youngster’s father, Mark van Bommel.

The 22-year-old PSV midfielder released Cody Gakpo to make it 1-1. According to BuLi News, the Germany coach highlighted the assist and the technique behind it.

"Sensational pass from van Bommel. He didn’t get that from his dad. The outside-of-the-foot technique must come from his mother," Klopp said.

Mark van Bommel, a 79-time Netherlands international, made his name with different qualities. The former Bayern Munich midfielder played for the club between 2006 and 2011.

Klopp’s quip contrasted Ruben’s finesse with his father’s reputation for tough tackling and aggression.
