Matthäus backs Eberl: "He’s doing a very good job" | OneFootball

Max Eberl has been regularly criticized at FC Bayern in recent months. Now, with Lothar Matthäus, a prominent football expert is backing the FCB sports director.

According to Sky, Max Eberl is set to remain at FC Bayern despite questionable squad planning. Apparently, there are critical voices within the club, but an end to the collaboration is not yet in sight. Now, Lothar Matthäus has given the Munich sports director a vote of confidence.

In his Sky column, the record national player wrote: "I'm often critical of FC Bayern, but Max Eberl has done a good job on the sales side. He's earned over 100 million euros from sales and saved a huge amount of salary through these departures."

Matthäus continued: "These savings were also Eberl's task. With Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof, they've gotten two national players almost for free. They've lost Thomas Müller and Leroy Sané for free, but that evens out."

“Díaz brings new elements to the game”

Regarding the multi-million euro transfer of Luis Díaz, Matthäus explained: "Eberl spent a lot of money on Luis Díaz, but Díaz brings new elements to Bayern's game. He's fast, goal-threatening, works a lot, and physically acts differently on the pitch than Sané. That's why I see him as a good buy." According to Matthäus, Díaz and Olise would be "aggressive going back" and these are "super conditions for any coach".

Finally, the Sky expert was very clear about Eberl: "Uli Hoeneß's handshake with Eberl was surprising to me. But I have the feeling that Eberl did a very good job in this transfer period. He brought fresh wind and sold some player material that was no longer needed. I don't see the attacking problem as that bad."

According to Matthäus, the regular players are "world-class", and Vincent Kompany should now increasingly involve young players.
