Matthew: “I can’t sugarcoat things”

When things went well at Bayern in the first half of the season, I mentioned it very positively. And in the second half of the season, where difficulties arose , also named them,” the 61-year-old continued.
Due to his past (302 Bundesliga games for FCB) and his current role as brand ambassador, Matthäus is still closely linked to the German record champions, but he also wants to point out problems. “Just because Hasan and I played together for the club and I have a Bayern past, I can’t sugarcoat things,” he clarified. “As an expert, I will still give my honest opinion.”
