Headwind for the TV expert!
Dietmar Hamann is known for not mincing his words. But now a Bundesliga coach is shooting back.
Cologne coach Steffen Baumgart (51) verbally attacked Hamann in the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung”.

When asked about the separation of the Bundesliga soccer club 1. FC Union Berlin from the long-time successful coach Urs Fischer, Baumgart said: “If Didi Hamann said two weeks ago that it was irresponsible of Union Berlin to stick with this coach, then I think that is an absolute cheek . Why is he allowed to make such a judgment?”
Baumgart said that even he himself didn’t dare to evaluate the separation, although he had “more insight into Union Berlin” than many people assume.
Last week, Bayern coach Tuchel was already upset about Hamann.

Before and after Munich’s top Bundesliga game at Borussia Dortmund (4-0) on November 4th, Tuchel commented with biting irony on Sky experts Matthäus and Hamann, who had previously criticized him. The Bayern coach broke off the interview after the game.
He can understand Tuchel’s anger at experts like Hamann or record national player Lothar Matthäus. “I have the feeling that some critics are on a one-way street. We have to accept that people who are really far away from our work are constantly pissing on us,” said Baumgart. “People who have their own problems but then stand up in public and say: We know what’s going on. With every protagonist, with every club.”

And he continues: “If an expert’s job is just to piss on everyone at every opportunity, then he shouldn’t be surprised if at some point someone says: Look out, you’re just not important enough to me .”
He also asked for understanding for himself and his colleagues when they reacted thinly to criticism. “The difference is that the coach has a responsibility and the expert sits on a comfortable couch and the whole nation listens to him. But we coaches are not the nation’s lightning rods.” “Exactly the same thing as Thomas Tuchel could happen to him,” said the FC coach.
