The audience probably shouldn't hear that.

ZDF expert Christoph Kramer surprises on live TV with a statement about Serbia's national coach.

Munich –

That was partly world champion.

Top favorites Brazil started the 2022 World Cup with a convincing 2-0 win against Serbia, especially in the second half.

Especially nice: Richarlison's dream goal for the final score, which made the football world go crazy.

But even after the game there was a treat for the viewers on ZDF.

However, it was not the players on the field who provided this highlight, but the broadcaster itself. After the TV broadcast from the Lusail Iconic Stadium had ended, ZDF showed excerpts from the game before the picture went into the studio with moderator Kathrin Müller-Hohenstein, and the experts Dede, Christoph Kramer and Sandro Wagner.

The pictures from the game showed Serbian national coach Dragan Stojkovic throwing two bottles of water on the ground in anger.

That's what the DFB stars from the summer fairy tale of 2006 are doing today

World Cup in Qatar: ZDF undermines micro breakdown

When the scene was over, ZDF viewers were already hearing Rio world champion Christoph Kramer on TV.

The 31-year-old said about the scene with Stojkovic: "He's hit a player before!" After the statement, Dede and Kramer laughed briefly.

This micro breakdown was definitely not planned.

The only question that remains is: is Kramer's statement, who recently had to defend himself against Per Mertesacker, a joke or does the Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder know more?

World Cup in Qatar: Stojkovic leads Serbia to the World Cup

Stojkovic was a gifted footballer in his day as a player and has been called one of the best Yugoslav players of his generation.

He won the Champions League with Olymique Marseille in 1993.

As a coach, Piksi, as he is known at home, worked at Japanese club Nagoya Grampus from 2008 to 2014 and at Guangzhou R&F in China from 2015 to 2020.

Then, in March 2021, Stojkovic took charge of Serbia's national team and led his country to Qatar in a World Cup qualifying group with Portugal as group winners.

Even though the 31-year-old is known as an emotional coach, there have been no allegations that the coach hit a player.

It was probably more of a joke by Kramer.
