“Personally, I would forgive Nagelsmann for the verbal blunder because he immediately apologized for it, and then I think it’s a good thing. There is unbelievable pressure on this young Bayern coach,” Matthäus wrote in his Sky– Columns. (DATA: Bundesliga schedule)
It is “nice that there are emotions. This is what this sport thrives on and we are all well entertained. So please let’s not condemn Nagelsmann forever for it,” the 61-year-old continued – but at the same time admitted: “Nagelsmann has without question overdone it and the phrase ‘softened pack’ is of course superfluous and was a big mistake”.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeneß “never allowed their coach to get into the situation that arose in Gladbach.

So instead of helping Nagelsmann, “to be honest, he’s often left pretty much alone,” explained Matthäus, who immediately made a guess: “Slowly, but surely, you get the impression that not everyone in the club management is behind him anymore.” Otherwise “it cannot be explained”.

Matthew criticizes Sané
He specifically targeted Leroy Sané: “If a professional at FC Bayern is always unpunctual, even though you don’t have to be at the training ground at 6:30 a.m., then he must feel it. Then he simply doesn’t play from the beginning or not at all anymore,” explained Matthäus. (DATA: The table of the Bundesliga)
The Bayern legend also said: “The players for whom it was the greatest thing to wear the FC Bayern jersey are missing.”
