He doesn’t like Niko Kovač and shows his aversion publicly. Max Kruse also mocked the BVB coach on Saturday.
It is known that Max Kruse doesn’t like Borussia Dortmund’s current coach. After all, it was Niko Kovač who had deleted the ex-footballer at VfL Wolfsburg about a year and a half ago from the club’s Bundesliga squad. Now Kruse shot against Kovač again and mocked him in his Instagram story.
How? Kruse posted a video. It can be heard as he sings the following line: “Oh, Niko Kovač. Oh, Niko Kovač. Nonsense.” A television can be seen in the picture. A scene from the Bundesliga game between VfL Bochum and Borussia Dortmund can be seen. More precisely, a duel between BVB player Julien Duranville, who came into the game for Karim Adeyemi, and Bochum’s Gerrit Holtmann.
Dortmund was already 0: 2 behind at the time of video recording. Kruse wrote to the sequence: “Sorry, but I can’t help it.”
It is not the first time that Max Kruse announces his aversion to Niko Kovač. The former Bundesliga professional had already expressed significant criticism when it became known that the Dortmund Kovač wanted to sign as possible coach. At the time, Kruse said mockingly that Kovač was his “favorite” for BVB so that the club “realizes what crisis actually means”.
Kruse was skeptical about a successful cooperation between BVB and the coach and added: “Peace, joy, pancakes will be over. Anyone who wants to do it can do so. I doubt that it is successful very strong. ” So far, Kruse is not too wrong. At least Niko Kovač was only able to record one victory in the premier class against Sporting Lisbon (3-0) in his previous three games. In the league there was a defeat against VfB Stuttgart (1: 2) and against Bochum.
