Eric Dier made his debut for FC Bayern against Union Berlin. When he talked about it after the game, he surprised some of his fans.
New winter signing Eric Dier received a few derisive comments after his debut on Wednesday evening against Union Berlin. After the 1-0 win in the league catch-up game, the Englishman conducted several interviews. In a conversation with Carsten Fuß, Dier surprised his listeners when he apparently spoke English with a German accent.
Users of the platform Another asked: “Can we get subtitles please, Eric clearly speaks German.”
One user asked himself: “Has Eric Dier always spoken like that or is he the next victim of German accent syndrome?” Another wrote: “He’s only been there for three minutes and 47 seconds and already has a German accent.”
“Wake up Steve McClaren”
The English press also reacted to the interview. For example, the newspaper “Sun” wrote: “Dier takes on Steve McClaren in his first TV interview for Bayern.” The medium was alluding to the former English national coach McClaren. He caused a stir in 2012 when he suddenly spoke English with a Dutch accent after moving to FC Twente Enschede in the Netherlands.
The British newspaper “Daily Mail” headlined after the conversation: “Fans make fun of Bayern new signing Eric Dier because he’s ‘doing Steve McClaren’.”
In the DFL interview, the central defender spoke, among other things, about his start in Munich: “It was a very proud moment for me to celebrate my debut for this club and I really enjoyed it.” He is happy with how he was welcomed and has settled in and hopes “that I can help my team even further.”
