In the middle of the greatest sporting crisis in recent years, managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke was missing on Saturday at 2-2 by Borussia Dortmund against Werder Bremen on his place in the grandstand. Now the BVB boss revealed what it was all about.
“I just didn’t feel like producing 90 minutes of breaking news again just because I get up in my hair. We are not in the zoo!” The 65-year-old rumbled towards the “picture”.
Instead of taking his place next to consultants Matthias Sammer and the three colleagues from the management, he had therefore followed the game with his companions from ordinary seats on the east grandstand, said Watzke.
“I still have the right to be able to choose my seat in our stadium. Of course I was in the stadium and will also sit in my usual place in the Champions League on Wednesday against Donetsk!” Lenant to the counterattack.
Matthias Sammer causes trouble at BVB
Previously, there had been explosive speculations that the BVB boss may have deliberately gone at a distance from Matthias Sammer. The external advisor completely torn the entire club under week as an expert of “Amazon Prime”.
“The team is physically and mentally in a non-constitution. You just have to say that. If you see it today, the basis is not there,” Sammer had judged Bologna after the 1-2 defeat.
The next day, the black yellow from coach Nuri Sahin had separated. Possible changes at the management level have long been speculated in the environment, because the relationship between Sven Mislintat and sports director Sebastian Kehl should be sustainably damaged between squad planner and sports director Sebastian Kehl.
And Sammer also had to take a lot of headwinds for his idiosyncratic TV appearance.
