From the source
The public spat over Bayern youngster Lennart Karl is entering the next round. After his agent, Michael Ballack, recently leveled sharp criticism at Max Eberl and Uli Hoeneß, FC Bayern’s sporting director has now spoken out.
The 53-year-old shows little sympathy for the accusations made by the former national team captain and defends the statements made by Bayern’s leadership. Ballack had accused the Bayern bosses of putting the 18-year-old attacking player under unnecessary pressure through their public statements.
In particular, Eberl’s most recent comments about Karl’s athletic development left the former Bayern captain baffled. Now Eberl is responding to the criticism and makes it clear that he cannot understand the fuss over his remarks.
