With a pizza saying, Jessy Wellmer shot herself out of bounds with many ARD fans - and there were sound problems again.


With a pizza saying, Jessy Wellmer shot herself out of bounds with many ARD fans - and there were sound problems again.

Rome - Football at 9 p.m. in Rome, the EM * is in full swing, Italy versus Switzerland is on the program.

Actually, nothing stands in the way of a pleasant Wednesday evening with the European Championship * - one would think.

The performance of Jessy Wellmer and Bastian Schweinsteiger, however, upsets many.

The duo of commentators causes a lot of mockery and ridicule among the fans.

ARD reporting at the EM receives a lot of criticism

Schweinsteiger's career as a TV expert began with a lot of praise and positive feedback. Together with Matthias Opdenhövel, he moderated the German games and the DFB Cup honestly and tough. But in combination with Wellmer there is a lot of room for improvement. In the past, Schweinsteiger also needed the right partner on the double six to be better. Opdenhövel seems to complement him better than Wellmer.

Especially the half-time break caused a lot of negative comments.

When Italy defender Chiellini scored a goal, the VAR intervened and canceled the booth.

Schweinsteiger did not understand: "There is probably some rule".

For many, that sounded “poorly informed”.

In order to get the opinion of referee expert Lutz Wagner, the two switched on the man.

But the TV viewer did not hear his explanation.

An audio glitch.

So you saw Schweinsteiger and Wellmer grinning, but Wagner's explanation came to nothing.

EM at ARD: Did Jessy Wellmer kill the bird with a pizza saying?

Wellmer shot the ball with the sentence: "Is Italy already in the round of 16 with half a pizza?" The Italians led 1-0 at the half-time break. In other reviews it says: “Phew” or “No, just no”. One transfers the favorite dish of many for the DFB-Elf: "Germany out of the tournament with a quarter of roast pork". And with another comment someone reacts similarly: "Then Germany is probably eliminated with half a potato".

In addition, Wellmer went to great lengths to pronounce the Italians nicely.

Which for some clearly backfired.

"What is this completely exaggerated Italian pronunciation?" Or "Where did Jessy Wellmer pick up this pseudo-Italian dialect that she apparently enjoys so much?"

Someone asks: “Is that still“ sports journalism or is it already comedy? ”.

EM at ARD: Not only criticism, but also praise

But like every pizza, Jessy Wellmer's style is a matter of taste. In addition to all the confusion about the perhaps a bit too absurd saying, there was also praise. Sitting on the couch with your feet up is easy to judge. Above all, a few colleagues are at her side. And anyone who has followed the Swiss performance knows that Wellmer certainly did not deliver the worst performance in the stadium.
