Mad tirade against colleagues
Flick’s “whisked shit” annoys Babbel
Markus Babbel is very annoyed by his former colleagues: The former Bundesliga coach is again scolding Bayern coach Hansi Flick and other coaches. The former DFB national player chooses harsh words, especially with Flick.
Former German national player Markus Babbel is once again going to court with coaches like Hansi Flick, Friedhelm Funkel or Adi Hütter after the coach castling in the Bundesliga. “There is a lot going on for me. I am lacking honesty, it is only celebrated,” said the 51-time national player of the Swiss newspaper “Blick” (Sunday). “Add to that these diplomatic statements that nobody can do anything with. As a football fan I feel ripped off, I can’t believe what is being said anymore,” he added.
Adi Hütter sat down in the TV studio and said he was staying with Frankfurt. “Five weeks later he leaves because the situation has changed so markedly. What situation? You knew that the team manager and probably the sports director were leaving. No, I only lie and pretend”, criticized Babbel himself worked as team boss of VfB Stuttgart and coach of Hertha BSC and Hoffenheim in 1899 in the Bundesliga.
“Is he kidding me?”
Friedhelm Funkel, on the other hand, said after his time at Fortuna Düsseldorf that he never wanted to be a coach again, that was well considered. “And what does he do then? Goes to Cologne. … As a Düsseldorf fan I ask myself: Is he kidding me? And as a Cologne fan: Is he coming to get us into the 2nd division? We talk From a seasoned man, not just any sausage. As a fan, I ask myself: What can I still rely on? “said Babbel.
Hansi Flick, too, “played around. I have to admit: I always found his interviews great.” Then suddenly these “commonplace statements without background or substance” came. “That did not do him justice, this whisked shit, in good German. It was he who had reunited the completely divided FC Bayern”, underlined Babbel.
Babbel had recently shown himself to be “immensely disappointed” in his colleagues. “There is one stupid statement after the other. I ask myself: What kind of word can I still rely on?” Said Babbel in the “Bild” podcast “Bayern Insider”. Specifically, Babbel had already mentioned Flick, whose “rumbling” “totally annoys” him, the surprising return of Friedhelm Funkel to 1. FC Cologne and Adi Hütter’s move from Frankfurt to Gladbach. “I can’t take that seriously anymore,” the 48-year-old grumbled. Babbel himself has been without a coaching job since his dismissal from the Western Sidney Wanderers in January 2020.
