Lothar Matthäus protects Serge Gnabry on his day off after his controversial trip to Paris. Where there are no rules, there is no breaking of the rules.
Serge Gnabry’s trip to Paris Fashion Week caused more excitement at FC Bayern than initially thought. Clear criticism of the club in this matter now comes from Lothar Matthäus.
“That’s amateurish, exactly what Bayern Munich isn’t.” boom! Hasan Salihamidzic had publicly criticized Serge Gnabry these days. He had flown to Paris on a day off to see Fashion Week.
The sports director saw the day off as more of a chance for regeneration in order to be in the best possible condition for the next game. He didn’t like the fact that the offensive player flew to France and back instead. Salihamidzic’s criticism was clearer than initially assumed.
Matthäus sees no Gnabry error: “If it doesn’t say that…”
And it is precisely for this criticism that he and the entire club are now being criticized – by Lothar Matthäus. The former Bayern player sees no misconduct in Gnabry’s behavior.
On the contrary, as he at sky explained (via sports1): “If not [im Vertrag] It says I have a day off so I can do whatever I want.”
Whether that is a visit to a fashion show or some other leisure activity is completely irrelevant. “They have to set clearer guidelines so that they don’t give them any leeway (…) If I don’t give them any leeway, then I don’t have this discussion.”
From Matthäus’ point of view, Salihamidzic’s scolding and the report that Gnabry had to report to him are completely wrong. After all, the national player did not break any rules and used his free time for private purposes. The tenor: If the people of Munich don’t want to see something like that and want to stop it, it has to be clearly communicated.
In the end, the conversation between Salihamidzic and Gnabry was a “verbal memo”. sports1 reported. And yet this clear announcement provided further topics of conversation.
