"Keep some things private": Eberl takes a swipe at Hoeneß? | OneFootball

There is tension behind the scenes between Bayern officials Max Eberl and Uli Hoeneß. Now Eberl responds publicly – and sends a slight jab towards the honorary president.

In the ZDF sports studio, the Munich sports director commented on Uli Hoeneß's recent public criticism. He did not hold back with clear words. "You don't always have to make everything public," Eberl said meaningfully.

He further emphasized: "I've been doing this for a few years now. I believe that with my way of getting things started and implementing them, I've done very, very well. I'm one of the last to make things public. I do it behind closed doors."

Previously, Hoeneß had made noticeably critical remarks about Eberl on Sport1's Doppelpass. The 73-year-old accused the sports chief of reacting sensitively to resistance and not delegating tasks enough. He also made it clear that neither he nor Karl-Heinz Rummenigge intended to completely withdraw from day-to-day business – at least not until they were sure that "the right people are in the right positions on Säbener Straße."

Eberl: "Very good transfer period"

Even though the statements seem like an open field of tension between the two club figures, Eberl emphasized that the relationship is intact. "We interact in such a way that we can enjoy the game today."

He praised the joint work during the transfer phase: "We had a very good transfer period, with the guidelines we had, Vinny (Kompany, editor's note) sees it the same way. It was fun, it was exhausting – for everyone involved."

Apart from the debate, Eberl was extremely satisfied with FC Bayern's squad. "When you consider that our three long-term injured players (Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Hiroki Ito) are also coming back, it feels very, very good." The team is well-positioned despite the injuries, and the optimism in the club is palpable.

Meanwhile, Jan-Christian Dreesen and Herbert Hainer tried to smooth things over between Eberl and Hoeneß. Dreesen stated: "It is quite legitimate to have controversial discussions. Uli Hoeneß said nothing different." President Hainer added: "You always have to keep things in perspective. Every word is weighed carefully. Uli says what he thinks."
