Uli Hoeneß finds clear words!
On Monday, the 73-year-old was awarded the honorary award of the German Football League as part of the DFL General Assembly. This honor is given “for special and outstanding achievements around German professional football”.
“I am proud to get this title,” said the honorary president of FC Bayern Munich, the price is “a sign that I also tried to give German football something in 50 years. But football gave me everything too.”
“Completely Gaga”
But one thing shocked the Germans. “I was stunned what was going on in international football for the last six or eight weeks,” says Hoeneß in relation to developments on the transfer market.
The clubs had it cracked, especially in England. FC Liverpool flipped 483 million euros for new players, Alexander Isak alone cost the Reds almost 150 million euros. The English clubs spent over 3.5 billion euros this summer.
Hoeneß described sums “completely gaga” to this extent. “At some point the citizen says: ‘Are they completely crazy?'” He continued. He also warned of the German Bundesliga. “It can’t go well. We have to show strength and not take the money of the Arabs, the American hedge fund.”
