Because of mistakes in Freiburg
Didi Hamann attacks “bottomless” Bayern

The change error in the Bundesliga game SC Freiburg against FC Bayern Munich continues to move. The Breisgau club filed an objection to the rating earlier this week, much to the record champions’ displeasure. With a traditionally powerful opinion, Didi Hamann is fueling the debate again.
Former Bayern professional Dietmar Hamann reacted with severe criticism to the communication from Munich after the much-discussed mistake in Freiburg. “None of the Bavarians has admitted their guilt. They held up the board with a wrong number,” said Hamann in an interview with “Spox” and “Goal”.
He doesn’t know what substitute Marcel Sabitzer was thinking. “Of course, if you go in, you only do that when the replaced player has left the field,” said Hamann and continued to scold: “The crowning glory was the self-important quote from Michael Gerlinger, who said: ‘We are convinced that the DFB -Sports court can only come to one decision according to the applicable regulations: The rating of our 4:1 victory is retained’. That cannot be surpassed in terms of self-importance,” said the 48-year-old.
“That’s weak leadership. If I make a mistake, I have to admit it to myself. But now to push Freiburg into the corner of unsportsmanlike is bottomless,” said Sky expert Hamann. Gerlinger is Bayern Vice President Sports Business and Competitions.
“It’s not just Freiburg’s right, it’s their duty to lodge an objection. It’s about the integrity of the league,” stressed Hamann. “It’s a breach of the rules that must be punished,” said the long-time Bayern professional. “Whether it’s proportionate if Bayern should lose the points is another question. But it’s clear that they have to be sanctioned.”
The Munich team had twelve players on the field for a few seconds last Saturday in Freiburg before referee Christian Dingert interrupted the Bundesliga game when the score was 3-1 for the guests. The wrong shirt number had previously been displayed when Kingsley Coman was substituted; the game ended 4-1 for FC Bayern. After the Freiburg protest, the sports court of the German Football Association has to deal with the case.
