The public verbal duel between CEO Oliver Kahn from FC Bayern and former Munich professional Lothar Matthäus is entering the next round.
Kahn commented again on Sunday evening on the talk show “Sky 90” about the record national player’s allegations of lying.
“If someone puts the word untruth or lie in their mouths, for me, clear boundaries are being crossed. Then I don’t expect statements like ‘It happened to me’ or ‘I spoke to someone’, but they have to come and say specifically , where these lies are said to have happened,” said the former goalkeeping titan, looking at Matthew.
The two former teammates at FC Bayern exchanged blows before the Bundesliga top game against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday (4: 2) in front of the “Sky” camera.
The background was the circumstances of the dismissal of coach Julian Nagelsmann. “I only say what I hear, see and feel. The chronological sequence, as Kahn describes it, does not fit together,” said Matthäus and added to “t-online” during the half-time break: “I know that Oliver Kahn lies”.
FC Bayern: Lothar Matthäus “misinterpreted”?
On Sunday, the 62-year-old clarified his statement and backtracked a bit. “I received some messages before the game saying that Oliver Kahn was lying. I also assume that he is not telling the truth about the matter,” it said.
However, “t-online” initially “interpreted it misleadingly” “in the rush of action”, according to Matthäus, who acts as a TV expert on “Sky”.
It’s part of Munich’s “Mia san mia,” says Kahn, “that you sometimes argue, that you sometimes argue. For me, however, FC Bayern’s success is always important.”
