ARD sports coordinator Axel Balkausky defended Jessy Wellmer and Bastian Schweinsteiger after the criticism for their interview with Joachim Löw.
Some fans and experts were irritated after the German team dropped out of the European Championship about the ARD interview with national coach Joachim Löw, but sports coordinator Axel Balkausky now defended Jessy Wellmer and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The reason for the criticism: the sometimes strange questions to the national coach. ARD-Sport coordinator Axel Balkausky strengthened the ARD-The duo now has their backs: “Jessy Wellmer and Bastian Schweinsteiger have managed to treat Joachim Löw with respect without being uncritical about the situation. The interview was very challenging for everyone involved, as it meant the end of the Löw era and that too went noticeably close to the national coach. ”
A look at the transcript of the questions shows how challenging the situation was for those involved. So Wellmer asked the national coach the following question after classifying his emotional world: “How do you say? All’s well that ends well, or that ends well, not all well?”
In retrospect, Balkausky defended: “This may have arrived at the television in abbreviated form in the noise, but she expressly formulated it as a question.”
Wellmer receives criticism for Löw interview
In addition, Wellmer, who received little support from Schweinsteiger in this situation, asked whether Löw regretted anything. He just replied: “What?” Wellmer specified: “So the decisions before the game, in the game?”
The interview seemed uncoordinated and awkward, which is why there was criticism in the media and on various social media channels.
