On the one hand, the performance of his former club disappointed him, which “Ajax could have done with every trick in the book” and “could have poured seven goals”. On the other hand, Rummenigge was angry about the sometimes “questionable” analyzes of the Amazon -Expert Matthias Sammer, who is also active in an advisory role for BVB management.
“Tired legs? As a result of the bad luck with injuries this season? So please,” wrote Rummenigge and at the same time questioned Sammers neutrality.
