All declarations of the VERIFY 24 double pass to read:
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge SPORT1 about:
… the maximum penalty for Leroy Sané in Leverkusen: I think our coach explained it well. Your job is to do everything you can for the team to win. After all, he wanted to bring young Musiala to score the goal, and he succeeded. The coach did everything right. It is clear that he (Sané, editor’s note) does not like it. The good Lord gave him incredible talents. He can dribble and has an incredible left foot. I don’t think I’m really up to speed with this Bayern gene. Thomas Müller left yesterday. But he is not as talented as Leroy Sané. So now you have to work on these talents. That is their job. We put everything in the balance for him to come to Bayern. You have to prove it now!
… the future prospects of Sané in Munich: I think he can have a good future at Bayern. We encourage all players, but we also challenge. You have to internalize that. Now you have to take the next step. He has to adapt his character to FC Bayern. Everything will be forgiven you, but you will have to put everything in the balance to leave the field as a winner. You have to learn that. The team will not suit your character.
Rummenigge: “I don’t know of any player who wants so much to win”
… Robert Lewandowski and Manuel Neuer: Those were the two best players in 2020. The one behind the goal has rightly become a world goalkeeper and Lewandowski has become a world footballer. It was always his dream and he thought that he could only fulfill it at Real Madrid. At the front, he only does what you need: goals. I always thought that Gerd Müller’s track record would never be compromised again. Robert now has 17 goals after 13 games. He is also working on this album.
… Lewandowski’s development: He arrived in 2014 and had a change to Real in the back of his mind for a while. I really wanted to win the Champions League and the title of world footballer. It is extremely ambitious. I don’t know of any player who wants to win that much. I think he loved it two years ago when we extended his contract. Then he saw that we were not going to deliver it. No matter what offer comes up, we don’t make it. We recognized the value of a Robert Lewandowski. It’s like a kind of Munich reinsurance.
… Lewandowski’s role off the pitch: Robert is an incredibly good conversationalist. I have spoken to him many times this year. Dig deep. In football, we often tend to hide a blanket of silence about something. He deals with mistakes when we have mistakes in the team or in the club. So it has become a very important factor. After winning the title in Lisbon, I spoke to him on the field and he said, “Do you know why we won? Because we had the best bench. Now we can start an era.” He stood there with the trophy in hand and was already thinking about the future again. That is what makes it so important.
… the non-election of Hansi Flick as world coach: He would have deserved it, if he wins five titles. He was also a bit disappointed. He would have liked to become one. I told him to look at the five cups. But you could tell he was disappointed.

Bundesliga as “benchmark in Europe”
… the position of the Bundesliga in international comparison: We always have the tendency to make ourselves small. I would like to remind you once again that all four CL teams and both EL participants easily qualified for the knockout round. The current benchmark in Europe is the Bundesliga! The games in Germany are currently the best in the entire football world. The others are good too, but the Bundesliga has improved.
… Munich’s participation in the Club World Cup: The team and the coach approached me and said that I should speak to FIFA and Infantino (FIFA president, editor’s note) so that it could be done. Players want to go there to win the sixth title. Only one team has achieved it so far: FC Barcelona in 2009. The boys are eager for the titles and want to win it all. We don’t go there to make money. That is manageable. It is just a gesture to give the team a chance to win this title.
Rummenigge to Alaba: it wasn’t enough
… the stand of David Alaba: We had many conversations. The goal was always to extend the contract. Then there was a final meeting with a deadline in October. Our offer was not accepted and then our president withdrew it. That is the state of affairs. There have been no new conversations since then. To be honest, I don’t know if there will be any more talks. We have taken many steps toward the counselor and the parent. We have put everything possible in the balance. But then you just have to accept: it was not enough.
… the future of Jérôme Boateng: We sit at the club in the second half of the season and then we discuss how things are going with him. You also have to be patient with players over 30 years old.
… a possible association work after his time at Bayern: I know what I can and what I don’t want. But when I see all the association structures, everything resists me. You no longer have anything to do with football, it is politics. The DFB has a lot to do right now, but do it yourself.
… his relationship with Uli Hoeneß: He is still on the supervisory board and remains an important member of the supervisory board. I have a good relationship with him. We had phases where we worked very well together, but also sometimes irritations because we had different opinions. The doors slammed shut, but none that hadn’t been reopened. We have a relationship that works.
… the possible introduction of a European Super League and the reform of the UEFA Champions League: We are not interested in a Super League being installed. Discussions about it always came from southern Europe. I think that the reform of the Champions 2024 will be an important step. The current group stage is a bit boring for me. UEFA’s plans will be a more sustainable reform. UEFA is taking a big hit here, and I like everything I’ve seen so far.
Rummenigge: Guardiola, Heynckes and company cannot save Schalke
… the situation at FC Schalke 04: In the last two games I had the impression that the team is trying to get the car back on its feet. Do not forget that the whole club is in an uproar. They have a situation like none of the other 17 clubs. But you can only calm down if you win two or three games. You have to win now. They didn’t win 28 games, that’s crazy. There is a lack of self-confidence. You can ask Guardiola, Mourinho or Heynckes to go to the bank, it will not work.
… the task of sports director Jochen Schneider in Gelsenkirchen: He had a difficult legacy to inherit. Financially they were already in trouble. The poor man can’t help it. You just need a break now. The problem has not been there for six months. 2020 is a troubled year. Seen seriously, the club was already in trouble beforehand.
… Ralf Rangnick as a possible coach candidate, also at Schalke: He showed in Hoffenheim and Leipzig that he is a good coach. I’m surprised it’s on the market. It’s a top shelf gauge. Of course, he is a demanding coach. The responsibility would have to fall on him. But he is a great professional and I think about him a lot.

Rummenigge: The reason for the BVB crisis
… the situation at Borussia Dortmund after the defeat at Union Berlin and the importance of Erling Haaland: Haaland’s injury affects them a lot. The entire game was tailor-made for you. Moukoko did a good job, but Haaland is a big one.
… a possible Haaland transfer: I don’t think Dortmund would have gotten Haaland without a buyout clause. The pre-Corona business model might even have worked.
Bayern boss: “Bringing more rationality to business”
… the financial situation in the Corona period: Now we play without spectators and there is no income. So we all need to review our business models. We have to bring a little more rationality to the business. It is notable that transfer fees were lowered by 15 percent last summer. In the case of wages in the upper range, however, it is only now slowly beginning to decline. The payrolls of the best clubs are too high for the problems we face.
… the distribution of television money and the criticisms voiced by Andreas Rettig: Herr Rettig is not worth commenting on. It is also known that FC Bayern abstained from the DFL Presidium’s latest decision. I would not rate it in such a way that we are satisfied with the distribution. Money was taken from the big clubs to give to the little ones. I always believe that performance has to pay off. You can always get more out of the big clubs. But the entire Bundesliga must have an interest in us being competitive internationally. If we want to remain competitive there, we need strong clubs in the Bundesliga. The big clubs are the locomotive. We have a very supportive distribution of money, which by the way has already migrated from top to bottom this year. So I don’t wear Rettig’s shoe.
