There could always be differences of opinion.

But team spirit is needed, especially when dealing with the Corona crisis.

"I noticed that in the conversation," writes Lauterbach in the post, as well as

reported.

Hansi Flick had weathered Lauterbach

The coach of FC Bayern Munich had said in a press conference that Lauterbach "always has to make a comment".

He said he could “no longer hear the so-called experts” in the discussion about Corona.

"The politicians and the experts should sit down and really develop a strategy that one day you will see a light in the tunnel," the football coach ranted.

FC Bayern had previously been criticized because the team was flown to Qatar and it turned out on site that player Thomas Müller is infected with the corona virus.

He also believes that some politicians are more interested in the choice than the pandemic.

In the social networks Flick received a lot of criticism for criticizing experts like the epidemiologist Lauterbach from his privileged position - professional football is excluded from the lockdown *.

“So-called experts” express themselves because journalists ask them for an assessment.

If Hansi Flick disagrees, he should just bring his arguments.

He doesn't have to be an expert for that.

Other arguments also count.

But as an amateur athlete, I say: don't be unfair!

Karl Lauterbach had responded to Flick's swipes via Twitter: “'So-called experts' express themselves because journalists ask them for an opinion.

If Hansi Flick disagrees, he should just bring his arguments.

He doesn't have to be an expert for that.

Other arguments also count.

But as an amateur athlete, I say: don't be unfair! ”Wrote the doctor and health economist.

In an interview with

tz

, Flick backtracked and admitted that his statement was very emotional.

However, he did not only speak as a coach of FC Bayern Munich, but also as a family man and former entrepreneur who would have been affected by the current lockdown.

“Maybe it is also good when I speak to Mr. Lauterbach personally.

In private, on the phone - not in a talk show - to explain the points of view.

I'm not someone who would like to put someone he doesn't know in such a light, ”Flick also suggested.
