"Compete" is the key word in the Bärtschi quotes. He didn't have a good camp in that regard. Fans noticed so of course Burke noticed too and that could be the first time he's watched Sven closely. Didn't make a good impression.
It doesn't mean that he should be a defensive forward. It means that it looks bad when a 20-year-old doesn't give 100% during preseason. Comments like these are given when the management doesn't want the player feeling too comfortable.
