Flick's corona attack: FCB coach got “bad” news - now he's making a new proposal in Lauterbach

Before FC Bayern Munich's game against Arminia Bielefeld, Hansi Flick made a flaming appeal to German politics.

Now he spoke again.

Update from February 16, 6:50 a.m.:

Hansi Flick and his Corona appeal were the big topic before the Bundesliga game against Bielefeld.

The statements about SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach in particular sparked discussions afterwards.

After the game (3: 3) Flick took up another position.

When

asked by tz

, the Bayern coach said at the press conference on Monday evening: “Of course, I didn't expect it to make such waves.

I may have responded very emotionally to a question.

But I replied not only as a coach at Bayern Munich, but also as a family man.

I have two grandchildren.

I was an entrepreneur for 23 years and had a sports shop. "

Hansi Flick: Bayern coach expresses himself again on Corona - and makes a proposal to Karl Lauterbach

Therefore, he can understand the burden on society well.

However, Flick continues to stand by his core message of the Sunday PK: It is important to approach things together.

After his spike against Lauterbach, the triple trainer also said: “Maybe it's good if 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 wants to put someone he doesn't know in such a light. "

Flick had already recognized that his PK statements were a little "more emotional than usual" this time.

But: “The way I answered - maybe you can formulate one or the other thing differently - I stand by it.

And again: I know very well that football is very privileged.

But I do believe that we have been very, very conscientiously adhering to the guidelines for almost twelve months.

We can do our job, many others cannot.

I have an eye for it because I was self-employed and I know a lot of people. "

Hansi Flick and Karl Lauterbach: Personal conversation in the near future?

After the press conference on Sunday, the response was of course great, and Flick himself also received one or the other message "that was a little nastier".

“Without question, I have to live with that.

I get along well with that because I stand by my opinion on the whole, ”the FCB coach made clear again.

Will there be a conversation with Lauterbach soon?

Quite possible.

Hansi Flick: Bayern coach talks about corona policy - and is heavily criticized

Update from February 15, 9:20 a.m.:

Hansi Flick's attack against Karl Lauterbach is causing waves.

The reactions in the social networks were not long in coming.

On Twitter it said, among other things: “A soccer coach, whose activities and privileges are protected while mocking the rest of society, calls on 'would-be experts' to be silent.

That is actually a new level low. "

A well-known blogger also said on Twitter: “Just as a reminder: 

Flick

 is a banker.

Lauterbach studied medicine and epidemiology at Harvard.

Does 

Flick

 even know that Lauterbach is a politician and an expert rolled into one?

Either way: The pampered footballers should all hold back from time to time.

One user wrote in a post: "The statements by Flick show once again how little football has understood."

Another user, according to his Twitter profile, a lawyer and criminal lawyer, said: “Hans

Flick

handled

 the factual criticism of Karl Lauterbach in an

extremely unscrupulous manner 

: No substantive argument, only against the person - and that after the catastrophically unsuccessful journey of the from start to finish FCB into corrupt and misogyne (misogynist, d. Red.) Qatar.

Self-criticism: 0. "

FC Bayern Munich: Coach Hansi Flick attacks Karl Lauterbach

First report from February 14, 2.10 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 wasn't 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 pulled out 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 will see light in the tunnel, ”says Flick angrily.

The FCB trainer continues: “That 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 their current task in politics, namely to work together to ensure that normality will return to normal at some point, ”says Flick, classifying 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 rather protects 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.

One 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!
