During the week, Uli Hoeneß surprised FC Bayern with a visit to training and an intensive exchange with coach Thomas Tuchel. Record national player Lothar Matthäus recognized a possible problem in this, but Stefan Effenberg now contradicted him.
Last Wednesday, Uli Hoeneß himself stopped by Säbener Strasse – a clear signal to Oliver Kahn, Matthäus believes.
It is “not a good sign” for the CEO that the honorary president “has to leave Tegernsee to go to Munich and speak demonstratively to the coach during training on the pitch,” said the former Bayern professional on “Sky”: “Of course he weakens Oliver Kahn, definitely.”
According to Matthäus, Hoeneß, a member of the supervisory board, deliberately staged his visit. “I think he sent a signal there, also to Oliver Kahn: You have to be more active there, you have to approach people – that’s Bayern Munich,” the 62-year-old suspected. Hoeneß was “not satisfied” with Kahn’s work on this point.

On Sunday, Stefan Effenberg presented a completely different point of view. “He made a mark, approached the coach,” the TV expert interpreted the visit to the “Sport1” talk show “Doppelpass” much more positively.
In Matthäus’ direction, the 54-year-old teased: “He has interpreted quite a lot in the last few weeks.” In fact, the record national player recently stood out as the chief critic of FC Bayern, which brought him a private feud with Kahn.
In the past few days, the house blessing has been crooked for the record champions. The change of coach from Julian Nagelsmann to Thomas Tuchel was followed by the end of the DFB Cup and Champions League. The championship is also still in danger.
