Overview

• Matthäus writes that most of Hoeneß’s recent statements are “peinlich,” expanding his public criticism of the Bayern figurehead.
• Hoeneß said on Sport1’s Doppelpass that a buy obligation for Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson applies only if he makes 40 starts and claimed “he never does.”
• Referencing those remarks, Matthäus suggests an adviser could ask whether Jackson would be prevented from reaching 40 starts because of the clause.
• Matthäus says people from FC Bayern called him asking why Hoeneß was “starting again,” pointing to unease inside the club.
• He argues that big headlines come from Hoeneß rather than Karl-Heinz Rummenigge or Jan-Christian Dreesen and calls Hoeneß’s sweeping attacks unnecessary for a club seeking calm.
