Professional soccer player Max Kruse has responded to claims about his love life.
"Unfortunately, after leaving the Olympic Games, I have to comment directly on a private topic," wrote Kruse in an Instagram story.
Previously, the German footballers had already been eliminated in the preliminary round at the Olympic tournament after a 1-1 draw against Ivory Coast.
After the second group game, the Bundesliga professional from Union Berlin proposed to his girlfriend Dilara in front of the camera.
In the "Bild" newspaper, a model spoke up and reported an alleged affair with the 33-year-old in January.
“The truth is, I didn't betray Dilara.
This as an important clarification to the assertion or question «, wrote Kruse in the social networks.
»Our relationship is completely intact, we are honest with one another and, above all, happy !!!
That is precisely why we do not concern ourselves with women who are trying to get attention at our expense, «Kruse also wrote.
Friend Dilara marked Kruse's post on Instagram with a red heart.
