Murat Yakin: “That’s disrespectful!”

class=”sc-3778e872-0 cKDKQr”>

At Bayern, nerves are on edge. Sadio Mané (31) is said to have punched his teammate Leroy Sané (27) in the face after the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City. And the connoisseurs Didi Hamann (“For me, the goalkeeper was hopelessly overwhelmed today”) and Roman Weidenfeller (“These are the centimeters he misses, Manuel Neuer would have kept them”) criticize Nati goalkeeper Yann Sommer (34) harshly.

On the occasion of a sponsorship event in Zurich, Murat Yakin (48) commented on the harsh criticism from Germany and defended his goalkeeper. The Nati trainer says: “Hard analyzes are part of the profession and especially with FC Bayern. But it is precisely Hamann’s sharp criticism that I find incomprehensible. In this form, she is disrespectful to Yann. For me it has to be good on defense. That’s not in the game.”

“Yann has a calming demeanor”

Yakin can’t understand why Sommer is being blamed for central defender Dayot Upamecano’s (24) scandalous mistakes. Hamann had said: “If you are a bit insecure as a central defender, then you need a keeper who gives you security.” And: “The goalkeeper has not only made the team restless today, but also in recent weeks.” Yakin: “Everyone knows that Yann has a calm way of playing. He proved that in the first weeks at Bayern Munich.”

And that, even though it is a completely new game for him as a keeper. “At Gladbach he managed to distinguish himself time and time again for eight and a half years because you are often under pressure at that club. At Bayern, the opposition may have a chance at the championship, sometimes only after 70 or 80 minutes. And then you have to be ready.” According to Yakin, you could also point out that Sommer recently had the three points for Bayern.

“Last time against Freiburg it was comparable to a 1-0 win and Yann saved Bayern’s three points with his save. As an expert you should also notice that. City spells on a player.”

A mistake or not?

Was the first goal against tenable? Yakin: «I don’t want to commit. I think the shot to 1-0 comes a bit hidden. I don’t think Yann expected Rodri to leave with his left foot, so he was a little surprised.

But the truth is that Manchester City were just the more established team. You could tell they had been working with the same coach longer than Bayern, who just switched from Julian Nagelsmann to Thomas Tuchel. And that the Champions League is now far above everything for Pep Guardiola, because they finally want to win this trophy.”

Yakin is not worried that the criticism of his national team number 1 will do lasting damage. “Yann can handle it. He just signed for Bayern Munich, something like that is part of it. He will handle the criticism objectively and professionally.”
