The circumstances surrounding the dismissal of Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann continue to make waves and cause emotions to run high. The most recent example: Before the top Bundesliga game between FC Bayern and BVB, Bayern boss Oliver Kahn and Sky expert Lothar Matthäus clashed for about two minutes live on television.
When asked by Sky moderator Sebastian Hellmann about the specific circumstances of the dismissal and the notification of the sacked coach, Oliver Kahn suddenly turned to record national player Lothar Matthäus. "One thing I would like to say to you: you, who are always standing here and constantly referring to the club, he has no style and where is the 'Mia san Mia' gone. I would ask you, Lothar: What do you actually mean with 'Mia san Mia'? (...) You just put this somewhere in the landscape and then everyone can choose what that means," said the former national keeper audibly.
Matthew replied: "Oliver, I'm not making a private war against you here. You can call me at any time." Kahn responded: "I just asked you one question." Matthäus was unimpressed and replied: "Listen, I also know a lot of people at FC Bayern that you might not even know." Kahn did not accept this: "But that's not an argument: 'I know people'. Watch out, maybe one or the other here also suffers from memory transfiguration or memory distortion. Even when we played, you can probably do it remember, there were always decisions that were not easy." The "insinuations that we would not maintain the style of FC Bayern, so I would be very, very careful there."
At the end of the exchange of blows, Matthäus stated dryly: "I've now noticed that you've distracted yourself again because Sebastian asked you a question that you didn't answer and you're going to a sideshow."
Hellmann's question revolved around whether it would not have been better to inform Nagelsmann of his dismissal by telephone instead of letting him know from the media. "It's not my style," Kahn replied.
TV expert Matthäus said after the dismissal of Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann: "I didn't like the way I was used to from FC Bayern in the days when Uli Hoeneß or Karl-Heinz Rummenigge were at the helm. " The familiar, protective something that distinguishes this club from many others is no longer there. "The 'mia san mia' is sometimes trampled on."
The skirmish between Kahn and Matthäus shows that the issue of Nagelsmann's dismissal is far from over for FC Bayern.
