Robin Fellhauer: Sacha Boey apologizes for brutal crash

Football professional Sacha Boey from FC Bayern Munich also publicly apologized to opponent Robin Fellhauer after the violent collision in the game at FC Augsburg. “Sorry for what happened and get well soon,” the 24-year-old wrote to the Augsburg midfielder on social media.

Boey and Fellhauer were hit violently with their heads in the added time of the 3-2 victory of Bayern on Saturday evening in Augsburg. The Munich man saw the yellow card. The FCA professional was lying on the lawn for minutes, treated and finally brought off the pitch on a stretcher. According to an initial assessment by Augsburg’s coach Sandro Wagner, the player has suffered a concussion and fails for several weeks.

Wagner had sharply criticized Boey after the game and also denounced the behavior of the Bayern Bank-initially very clearly at the Sky microphone, then a little more moderate at the subsequent press conference. However, he did not want to assume the Munich defender at his “brutal foul”.

“The only thing I would have liked: that he does not go away very cool – too cool for the world – but immediately sorry and not only when he sees that the young man can no longer move,” said Wagner. “One or the other on the Bayern bench” might have “turned on the synapses a little faster and should not complain”, said the 37-year-old: “You just don’t.” Wagner had also reported that Fellhauer’s family cried in the cabin.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany emphasized that Boey apologized. “Maybe at the beginning he couldn’t quite assess the situation,” said the Belgian, who wished Fellhauer all the best on behalf of his club. Munich’s goalkeeper Manuel Neuer also wished the 27-year-old that he could get back on his feet as soon as possible.
