Lothar Matthäus sharply criticizes the appearance of RB Leipzig. The record international is now sorry for his choice of words. He now formulates it differently.
TV expert Lothar Matthäus apologized for his choice of words after his drastic criticism of RB Leipzig. The German record national player had said on Sky in the broadcaster that football at RB was currently a “pile of rubble”. This is now sorry for the 63-year-old.
“‘Ruber heap’ is certainly not an expression that you use in the assessment of a club, and in this context it is actually not part of my vocabulary. I would formulate it differently: there are many construction sites in Leipzig,” said Matthew in his recent column for Sky.
Previously, the 1990 world champion also explained: “With what was there and what is now, Red Bull football is currently there where those responsible never wanted to see him. Never! Never!”
After the 1-2 home defeat against FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday, the Leipziger in the Bundesliga are only in sixth place, separating RB three points from a Champions League place. In the league back round, only a success was achieved in seven games.
Coach Marco Rose, who was considered a wobble candidate three months ago, is to continue to sit on the bench in the game at SC Freiburg on Saturday. The debates are also likely to employ ex-coach Jürgen Klopp, who has been in charge of the Red Bull football area since the beginning of the year as a so-called Head of Global Soccer.
