From the source

There is always room at Bayern Munich for some drama. Eighteen-year-old Lennart Karl’s recent drop in form and other issues have caused some concerns for pundits and fans, while even drawing comments from club personnel.

Specifically, supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß mentioned wishing to sit down with Karl to teach him some humility, and board member for sport Max Eberl publicly acknowledged the drop in form.

This has prompted agent Michael Ballack to call out Hoeneß and Eberl for wronging his young client. Ballack stated boldly (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “It’s legitimate for Uli Hoeneß to criticize this public appearance.
