After all, someone is trying to lighten the mood between Bayern and Lothar Matthäus (60)!

When coach Julian Nagelsmann (34) came to the Sky interview following the clear 4-0 win once morest Union, he caused an unexpected laugh in conversation with moderator Sebastian Hellmann (54) and the record national player.

The topic is the contract of Robert Lewandowski (33/runs until 2023). Nagelsmann and ex-Bayern star Matthäus agree that Bayern must do everything they can to keep the Pole longer.

Hellmann: “You agree on that. You’re both wearing green jackets.” In fact, the Bayern coach’s olive-green jacket looks very similar to those of the two TV people.

The cool Nagelsmann counter: “Extra because of you, so I don’t always stand out like that. And we form a unit here at the table, which wasn’t often the case lately.” Nagelsmann then laughs heartily, adding: “That was just for fun.”

Background: the public Zoff between Matthäus and Bayern boss Oliver Kahn (52).

In SPORT BILD, the Sky expert sharply criticized the Bayern CEO for Lewandowski: “If you haven’t contacted Lewandowski’s side up to now, I find that disrespectful. That would have been unthinkable under Hoeneß or Rummenigge. The interpersonal relationship is no longer there!”

Kahn’s counterattack: “Unfortunately, Lothar has been interpreting his role as a good football expert more and more as a source of headlines. He would be well advised not to talk regarding subjects for which he lacks any insight.”

Before Bayern’s game once morest Union, Matthäus adds: “When Oliver Kahn says I don’t have an inside view, he’s right on the one hand. But I’ve been in the business for so long that I’ve been through one or two things in life or I realize that I can form my own opinion and have my own opinion.”

Before that, there had already been trouble between Matthäus and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (45). It was regarding the transfers of Dayot Upamecano (23) and Lucas Hernandez (26), who, according to Matthäus, lack quality.
