Bayern’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß has sharply criticisedQatar- and Abu Dhabi-financed clubs Manchester City and Paris St. Germain.
which deals with the life and work of Hoeneß, the 69-year-old was critical of the approach of the two clubs. Success is apparently still lacking despite the billions invested: “What have they won? So far they have won nothing, nothing, nothing, not one Champions League title have the two clubs won, not one!” This, he said, was an incentive for Hoeneß to “show them: Your fucking money, it’s not enough”.
The difference between Hoeneß himself and PSG’s Qatari club boss Nasser Al-Khelaifi? “I worked hard for the money and he got it as a gift,” said the honorary president. Paris would continue to lose to Bayern. “Not always, but sometimes. That has to be the goal. If we win against them, I’ll be thrilled as hell!”
Bayern dominance in the league a “tiresome discussion “
Hoeneß also commented on FC Bayern Munich’s dominance in the Bundesliga: “Should we stop now so that the Bundesliga becomes exciting again or should we play with ten men in future? That’s a tiresome discussion. I’m not happy either when I see that when we lead 1-0, not much can happen. I don’t like that either!” However, he said the Munich side “would be hell-bent on saying that after a 3-0 lead we’ll only play with six men. “
WM 2006 “not bought “
The 69-year-old also commented on the allegations of bribery in connection with the 2006 World Cup in Germany. “The 2006 World Cup was not bought. I am quite sure of that, “ he said. Franz Beckenbauer, who was once accused in this connection, also “knows nothing”.
The trial about the home tournament was suspended in April 2020 because it was time-barred. “Nobody believed in the World Cup bribery back then. Which I absolutely don’t see either. One hundred percent not “, Hoeneß stressed, also with regard to allegedly questionable test matches of his Bavarians around the World Cup award abroad. “We have a totally clear conscience. “
The Munich team “got an offer to play these games, got a lot of money for it, a lot of money. And then we went there and played,” Hoeneß reported and said: “When I get an offer of this magnitude for a friendly match, I don’t ask for long.
