Professional footballer Kevin-Prince Boateng from Bundesliga club Hertha BSC has no understanding for the harsh criticism of ex-world footballer Lothar Matthäus of himself.
“To say after seven match days that a player's career is over is cheeky.
Maybe he felt like reading a headline, which he got, ”said Boateng in Berlin.
Berlin - In his function as an expert, Matthäus last said on the program "Sky90": "In my opinion, the time of Kevin-Prince, who was an outstanding player, also a difficult character, is over."
34-year-old Boateng, who was already a TV expert himself, wouldn't choose words like that.
“For me this is a statement that you shouldn't make as an expert.
I would never make such a statement, no matter how old the player is or whether he is not performing, "said Boateng, who generally has no problem with other people's judgments about him:" In my career I was more criticized than praised, that's why I am I used to.
That bounces off me. "

However, Boateng knows very well that he has to improve.
The veteran had been hired by the Berliners as a leader, but sporty things are far from going as desired.
“I may not play very well either, I understand that too.
I also look in the mirror every day: what can I do better?
But I won't let myself be persuaded, "he said:" I'm 34 years old, I've seen everything.
I know when what and how has to be handled and I am also working on that. ”Dpa
