Before the game of FC Bayern Munich against Arminia Bielefeld, Hansi Flick made a flaming Corona appeal to German politics (12:37 p.m.).
Munich - On Monday, after a long time, Arminia Bielefeld is again a guest in the Allianz Arena.
After the sixth title under Hansi Flick, FCB faces a task that is easy on paper.
But Bielefeld has a lot to make up for after losing to Cologne and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Can you create the sensation in Munich?
But that was not the main focus of the press conference.
A minute-long roll call from Hansi Flick was the main topic.
Flick makes a fiery appeal to politicians and goes to Lauterbach
The coach of FC Bayern Munich also reads the statements of the politicians and the experts on Corona, he admitted during the press conference and then took a sweeping blow.
The background was the criticism of FC Bayern Munich and his trip to Qatar, as well as the special treatment of the players in the Thomas Müller case.
Hansi Flick burst his collar and said what he thought of the general situation in Germany.
"Mr. Lauterbach always has to make a comment," says Flick, naming it as an example for "so-called experts".
"In any case, in the discussion with Corona, I think: It's slowly becoming impossible to hear the so-called experts anymore.
Also Mr. Lauterbach, he always has something to say about everything.
The politicians and the experts should sit down and really develop a strategy that one day you can see light in the tunnel, ”says Flick angrily.
The FCB trainer continues: “This is currently too little for the population and citizens who are not in the same situation as we footballers or athletes in general.
They should see that something positive can be proclaimed ”.
“I have the feeling that everyone wants to make a profit from the situation: How can they make the point or the percentage points more when choosing?
That is far from the topic of what their current task is in politics, namely to work together to ensure that normality will return to normal at some point, ”says Flick, assessing the current situation.
Judging by the coach's words, election campaigns instead of solutions are more important at the moment.
Flick comments on Chancellor Merkel - and takes her under protection
The trainer also has an opinion on Chancellor Angela Merkel.
But he is more likely to protect them.
“For me, anyone who never takes himself too seriously is the Federal Chancellor.
Of course, she has a job, she is always ahead and is always rated with everything she does.
She is only human, like all of us, everyone makes mistakes, "says Flick about Merkel's tasks and then goes back to the experts and politicians:" She is also allowed to make mistakes, only as it is always assessed by the so-called experts or Politician colleagues, that's pretty awesome.
You should find a togetherness in order to give people in Germany or around the world confidence for the future.
That is currently not the case. "
Recently, SPD politician Dagmar Freitag also criticized football on Deutschlandfunk.
Karl Lauterbach became a topic of conversation in the football cosmos when he criticized the trips across Europe, especially because of the Champions League and the Euro League.
Due to the British mutation, some countries have issued entry bans.
The German teams like Borussia Mönchengladbach and RB Leipzig have to play their games against the English clubs Manchester City and Liverpool FC in Budapest.
Karl Lauterbach reacts to the Flick criticism
Karl Lauterbach commented on the words of Hansi Flick.
“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!
