Bayern Munich’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß is convinced that the national team will once again become the “locomotive” of German football under new director Rudi Völler. “In any case,” Völler, who was presented on Friday, is the right one in the current situation of the DFB selection that failed at the World Cup in Qatar, said Hoeneß on Sunday in Sport1’s “double pass”. Völler “knows about football” and is also not so easily attacked. “It’s important that you can endure a lot of media,” said Hoeneß.
After the weak World Cup performance, it was “great luck” that “many clubs are doing well in international competitions and can absorb something,” said Hoeneß, referring to the seven clubs in the knockout rounds of the European Cup competitions. The national team of national coach Hansi Flick will ultimately have to lead the way again “as a locomotive”. “I think Hansi Flick needs someone next to him to help him when things get difficult,” said Hoeneß about Völler’s commitment.
