Tuchel versus Hamann and Matthäus: Who will stop the Sky hot take factory?

In the big babble that is most of the German football discourse, one should deal less with those who only talk but say nothing. But of course the system doesn’t work that way.

In the studios of the sports broadcaster Sky, the hot-take factories for Bundesliga reporting, Didi “Dietmar” Hamann, for example, is singled out weekend after weekend as if he were the first white sausage that Uli Hoeneß was served after his prison sentence.

On the one hand, you can be happy that Hamann is not afraid of FC Bayern and criticism of it – which distinguishes him from many members of his peer group (former footballers who now work for television, but could also imagine working for FC Bayern). .

But what Hamann et. al. On the other hand, whispering into the microphone broadcast after broadcast is not a criticism that deserves the name. This is the eternal hot take.

One should therefore understand that the coach Thomas Tuchel has now publicly defended himself, but one must also accuse him of one thing: with his counter-speech he has given Didi Hamann and Lothar Matthäus – and thus also the system of gossiping – a legitimacy that existed before never existed before.
