Franz Beckenbauer: This is how he feels about his health

News from July 22, 2018:

Munich - Franz Beckenbauer disappears into the pouring rain. At one of his rare public appearances, the German football icon gave autographs, posed for photos, fought with his long-time companion Günter Netzer, accepted the Bavarian Sports Award as a sportsman of the century, commented on the 2006 World Cup affair, then signed autographs again and finally posed again for photos.

When Beckenbauer paves the way to an exit from BMW Welt in Munich after this gala on Saturday, a crowd of people follows him. That's how it is when the man who was once only Franz, then the Emperor, finally the figure of light in German football, and for some years now only the cymbal maker, appears again in front of an audience. "With his elegance and lightness, Franz brought football, as he interpreted it, close to art," said Netzer, who gave the laudation to Beckenbauer.

Beckenbauer became world champion as a player and trainer

Beckenbauer also managed the feat of becoming world champion as a player and as a coach. The three national championship cups with FC Bayern Munich in 1974, 1975 and 1976 or its five German championships as a libero are almost only ornamental. "Before his time he was the best, during his time the best and nothing better came after him," praised Netzer, who has known Beckenbauer for more than 50 years. It was Netzer who brought Beckenbauer to Hamburger SV in the early 1980s.

In his moody eulogy, the 73-year-old allowed himself to make a weird comparison - but at least he was ahead of Beckenbauer in one thing. The man from Munich-Giesing has "four bypasses, I have six," said the man from Mönchengladbach. "This is a dubious competition, neither of us wished for it," Netzer admitted with laughter from the audience.

Franz Beckenbauer and the 2006 World Cup

There is no laughing when Beckenbauer is asked about the 2006 World Cup affair. It is ultimately about a shadow that has overlaid the former light form. At the heart of the affair is a million payment that flowed in 2002 from an account of the World Cup organization manager Beckenbauer via Switzerland to Qatar to a company of the then FIFA official Mohamed Bin Hammam.

Beckenbauer had previously received a million amount from the former Adidas boss Robert Louis-Dreyfus for this payment. The World Cup organizing committee paid the equivalent of 6.7 million euros wrongly declared back to Louis-Dreyfus in April 2005. What the money was originally used for is still not clear.

Nevertheless, Franz Beckenbauer feels wrongly accused

The allegations were "drowned and lying," emphasized Beckenbauer, "I've always said that." "You form your own picture, so you have no way of doing anything about it, so I gave it up, and haven't said anything since," he said matter-of-factly. "I gave information to the people who asked me to. I did that, everything else became more or less sausage. It's just idle to talk about it. "

The period after the 2006 World Cup cost Beckenbauer strength. The now 72-year-old concedes that himself. "Hospital, rehab, hospital, rehab" have alternated recently at Beckenbauer. "I actually feel very comfortable. When you're over 70 and approaching 80, to put it a little exaggerated, it just pinches a little. ”In any case, only one thing was important for Beckenbauer:“ I'm still alive, that's the decisive factor. ”
