Did Watzke give up the championship after the 6th match day? BVB boss unusually meek on TV

Hans-Joachim Watzke describes the tension between FC Bayern and BVB after the "singular Brazzo failure" as settled.

He also sees the championship as eaten.

Munich - When Hans-Joachim Watzke is a guest in a double pass, it usually doesn't take long before he talks about FC Bayern Munich *. Most of the time, the statements of the BVB * managing director are not exactly flattering. This time, however, only "Kapellmeister" Deniz Aytekin - he sent Dortmund's Mo Dahoud against Gladbach with yellow-red from the field * - got his fat away. Completely different than it was about Bayern. Watzke found unusually conciliatory words. He even threw off the poison arrows recently shot between Hasan Salihamidzic and Michael Zorc as "done".

Salihamidzic had publicly criticized Dormunds Marco Reus during the last international break.

“Brazzo” complained that the BVB captain had left the national team with a knee injury before the final game against Iceland, but was back on the field a few days later in Dortmund's 4-3 win against Bayer Leverkusen.

Poison arrows between Dortmund and Bavaria: "Salihamidzic should shut up"

Michael Zorc didn't want to leave that uncommented.

"Salihamidzic should keep his mouth shut and comment on the issues of Bayern Munich," Zorc suggested to Bayern's sports director at the time in

and was pissed off: "What does he actually think he is?" *

In the current

double pass, Hans-Joachim Watzke tried to downplay the taunts.

“That was a purely unique Brazzo failure.

That was then answered once to send out a sign of strength.

And with that, the subject is over again, ”said the 62-year-old.

Joachim Watzke flatters FC Bayern with a one-two: "Coming a little closer"

Elsewhere - it was about the competitiveness of German clubs on the international stage - the managing director of Borussia Dortmund even fraternized with the people of Munich.

“Football has to stay affordable,” he said - and then said that Bayern and Dortmund would show that you can keep up without “selling your soul”.

It was also about keeping up when the panel discussion - it was led by one-two-pass veteran Rudi Brückner this Sunday (September 26th) after Florian König was absent due to illness * - began to talk about the current Bundesliga season *.

Watzke was far less aggressive than usual.

If the championship is to become something for BVB, then Bayern would have to go a bit towards the Dortmunders at the moment, he said and then said something suspiciously suspicious: "If Bayern Munich wins all the games, it will be difficult for us."
