Didi Hamann polarize – but this is not due to him, but because of the grievances at Bayern and Dortmund. He expresses the unpleasant truths that many do not want to hear. And that is exactly why he needs it.
His criticism of BVB? Completely justified! The pattern has been the same for years: a lot of talent, little mentality. When Hamann says Julian Brandt is “symptomatic of the problems”, he hits the nail on the head. The fact that Hamann puts his finger in the wound is not a scandal – it is his duty as an expert.
Bavaria has done a blatant dropout against Bochum. Hamann realizes that a dangerous lethargy has crept in at the record champions. Instead of getting upset about the criticism, those responsible should ask themselves whether he may not be right. If you are really clever, you even bring Hamann away from Sky and to the club. Then you no longer need to get upset about public statements, beat it back at the same time, put it cold – and can use the clever observations to get better.
Until then, he is a gift for every fan. Hamann says what everyone thinks but don’t dare to say.
