What do FC Augsburg players have to put up with?

A quote from newcomer Ricardo Pepi horrifies fans.

The club feels compelled to comment.

Ricardo Pepi spoke to

SportBild

about the new adventure far from his US homeland and the hopes he has as a newcomer to Bundesliga club FC Augsburg.

In the interview, the 19-year-old revealed that he dreams of playing in the Champions League with FCA one day.

From now on, this quote, packaged in an image montage, should also make the rounds on the Internet - but with a different wording:

On the social media network Twitter, "fake news" was suddenly circulating - and this seems to be widespread in the Internet age.

Football fans around the world read a quote that allegedly refers to “German culture”: “When I finally got in the shower after training, I suddenly felt something warm on my thigh.

Coach Markus Weinzierl just peed on me and said that was part of it.

I'm his player now," read the tweet.

FC Augsburg: Tweet with a quote from Pepi causes a stir – the Bundesliga club takes a position

Are such methods practiced at the traditional Swabian club*? After the Texan's peculiar quote made the rounds and FC Augsburg finally became aware of it, an official denial followed. The Bundesliga club sees itself forced to take a stand and relegates the anecdote to the realm of fables: “We can laugh about a lot and often don’t take ourselves too seriously. But since some of you out there seem to think so, let's make it clear that this is fake."

Ricardo Pepi only switched from MLS club FC Dallas to the Fuggerstadt team in January - for a club-internal record sum of 16 million euros.

Meanwhile, controversial player agent Mino Raiola is in intensive care, according to a report.

The man also advises Erling Haaland from BVB.

Are his contract negotiations coming to a standstill?
