Max Kruse, former football player of the German National Team and Fenerbahçe, came to the fore with his surprising statements. The 36-year-old retired striker attracted attention by participating in the ‘Big Brother‘ program broadcast in Germany. The confessions he made during the program resonated both in the football world and among the audience.
Kruse, who played 14 times for Germany and scored four goals, played more than 300 matches in total in clubs such as Wolfsburg and Union Berlin. The former star, who is now away from the field, shared his health struggle for the last 10 years and interesting details about his private life with the audience.
“I HAVE A HEMORRHOID PROBLEM FOR 10 YEARS”
Kruse explained the health problem he experienced to his housemates in the program with the following words:
“I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for 10 years. But I have never been to a doctor. It is really difficult for me to cope with this situation. I do not want to sit in the chair where a woman sits at the gynecologist and have someone look at my butt. I have a hard time coping with this thought.”
Housemates Leyla Lahouar and Mike Heiter supported Kruse and tried to persuade her to see a specialist. But they also expressed concerns about hygiene. Question marks have arisen especially regarding the use of common areas such as pools and toilets.
“HANSI FLICK CAUGHT ME”
Kruse’s statements on the ‘Big Brother’ program were not limited to health problems. The former football player also confessed to an incident he experienced before a friendly match against England in London in 2013.
Kruse stated that they witnessed Hansi Flick and Oliver Bierhoff, who were members of the German National Team technical team at the time, being caught with a sex worker in their hotel room.
During a poker game at the team hotel, someone suggested I invite a woman to my room. I accepted the suggestion. We started talking to the woman in my room and five minutes later there was a knock on the door. “It was Hansi Flick, assistant coach and team coordinator Oliver Bierhoff.”
The football player explained that Flick gave him a warning after the incident:
“They told me, ‘Send him immediately, we will talk about this in the morning.’ The next day, I received the warning: ‘We are happy with your performance on the field, but you cannot do such things. Either you focus completely on your football or you will not be in the World Cup squad.'”
“I WAS REMOVED FROM THE NATIONAL TEAM SQUAD”
Kruse said he heeded the warnings and performed well throughout the rest of the season, but still found himself left out of the 2014 World Cup squad:
“It hurt me deeply to be left out of the World Cup squad. It would have been great to win the championship with that team. There were other football players who brought escorts to their hotel rooms at that time, but maybe they handled it more intelligently.”
Max Kruse: The Unfiltered Truth from ‘Big Brother’
Ah, Max Kruse—Germany’s not-so-secret footballing enigma! This 36-year-old retired striker clearly doesn’t know that typically, the biggest confessions are saved for the “I’ve just been on a desert island” reality shows, not “I’ve just been caught with my trousers down” ones. But leave it to him to break the mold, stepping out of football and straight into the chaotic world of ‘Big Brother’. Forget the field; let’s talk about the real game he’s playing—exposing the juicy bits of his life!
Health Checks and Hemorrhoids
Now, if you’re tuning in just for the football insights, you might want to sit down—unless you’ve got a hemorrhoid problem too, then by all means, stand up! Kruse didn’t hold back when he disclosed, “I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for 10 years,” adding in a rather colorful tone, “But I have never been to a doctor.” One can only imagine his thought process: “Doctor? Nah, I’d rather sit through a penalty shoot-out in the rain than have someone examine my backside!”
Imagine the conversation in the house—Leyla and Mike, concerned for Kruse’s hygiene, prodding him to get some professional help, while secretly arguing over who’s going to be the first to dip into that shared pool. Hygiene? If I had a euro for every time I’ve had a ‘health chat’ like that, I’d be able to fund Kruse’s future doctor bills!
Spicy Tales from the National Team
But wait, folks, there’s more! Tying up an embarrassing yet hilarious thread, Kruse didn’t stop at bowel movements; he took us back to a cheeky incident from the 2013 England friendly that has made headlines and would make a fantastic sitcom subplot. Apparently, while the team tried to stay composed, Kruse finds himself mingling with a supposed ‘escort’. Naturally, who should come knocking at his door but Hansi Flick and Oliver Bierhoff, equipped with judgmental glares and maybe even a referee’s whistle!
“During a poker game at the team hotel, someone suggested I invite a woman to my room. I accepted the suggestion. We started talking to the woman in my room, and five minutes later there was a knock on the door.”
This might not be how most people think of ‘team bonding’, but hey, who needs team dinners when you can have this? Flick’s response was classic coach material, “Send her immediately, we will talk about this in the morning.” Because clearly, footballing discipline trumps all doors—especially the ones leading to your hotel room!
World Cup Woes and James Bond Fantasies
Despite Kruse straightening out his performance after the incident (because nothing screams ‘professionalism’ like a warning from your coach that you better focus on football), he still got the short end of the stick—left off the 2014 World Cup squad. But here’s the kicker: “It hurt me deeply to be left out of the World Cup squad. I mean, while I was having my little escapade, there were others doing the same and maybe they just knew to play it cooler.” Ah, isn’t that the tale as old as time? The kid who didn’t know the rules gets sent home while the crafty ones go on to lose in the semi-finals!
One can only wonder what goes on behind the scenes when these players think they’re off the clock. Perhaps the real question is, does anyone in the German national team even watch Big Brother? Because if they did, they’d probably add “no getting caught with escorts” to their ‘team code of conduct’ right next to “kick the ball into that net.”
Conclusion: Strange Bedfellows
So here we have Max Kruse—a man who, while suffering from a decade-long curse of hemorrhoids, has managed to turn the sports world upside down by admitting he had a wild ride with both his health and his team’s antics all wrapped up in a cozy reality show. It’s a strange world where footballers are judged both on the pitch and for their choice of evening post-match entertainment. But hey, that’s reality TV for you! More riveting than a last-minute corner kick and just as chaotic as a Sunday league match. Bravo, Max, keep the stories coming!
