Bayern Munich’s honorary and outspoken president Uli Hoeneß tore into Liverpool, deriding the club’s summer transfer business and presenting an image of faux pity for Florian Wirtz, who is suffering as a consequence of the apparent selfishness riddled throughout the squad.
Hoeneß is no stranger to outspoken comments. This is a character who has openly derided agents as “greedy piranhas” and never shies away from persecuting individual players, even if they play for Bayern. One of Hoeneß’s most potent trigger-points is the financial excess of the Premier League, which operates on a wildly different model to the fan-owned clubs of the Bundesliga.
