Daily Schmankerl: Former Agent Sues Lewandowski, Flick Suggests Transfers, Kahn Refuses To Confirm Dest And MORE

Robert Lewandowski’s former agent, Cezary Kucharski, has filed a civil lawsuit against his marketing company RL Management in Warsaw, Poland. According to Spiegel, Kucharski accuses Lewandowski and his wife Anna of diverting several million euros from their marketing company to finance luxury vacations and interior decoration.

Kucharski is demanding 39 million Polish zloty in damages, which is equivalent to about 9 million euros. Lewandowski told Spiegel that the suit had not reached him. Spiegel reports that “internal documents” show that a seven-figure sum in euros was deposited into one of Lewandowskis’ accounts. They add that “the tax authorities [in Germany] he may not have found out about all the transfers ”, but that appears to be purely speculative.

Lewandowski told Spiegel that Kucharski’s accusations are “unfounded” and accused Kucharski of defamation. “Lewandowski’s speaker told Spiegel that Kucharski” just couldn’t get over the termination of his collaboration. “

Bild adds that the civil lawsuit also concerns a 2.5 million euro loan that RL Management gave Anna Lewandowska in 2015. The lawsuit claims that Anna transferred the loan to a company called “Blaue Auster” (“Blue Oyster “) that belonged to him almost entirely. . When the company was dissolved, the loan disappeared and, with it, the need to pay it back.

The Lewandowski spokeswoman told Bild: “All tax calculations, both personal and business of Robert Lewandowski, are done legally.” She added, “Mr. Cezary Kucharski is trying to get Robert Lewandowski to pay him money to which he is not entitled. We are treating the description of the accusations in the press as an attempt to put pressure on us, damaging the reputation of Robert Lewandowski ”.

Representation for the Lewandowksis said they would present all their tax and accounting documentation to the court.

It is not clear to me, for example, how Kucharski is entitled to damages for money that the Lewandowskis allegedly paid themselves. We will write more if more comes up on this case.

Flick conversations suggest possible transfers after Thiago (AZ)

Before Bayern played Schalke yesterday, head coach Hansi Flick was asked if David Alaba would stay at Bayern Munich. His answer suggested that Bayern intend to sign one or more players before the window closes.

Flick said: “I know David would very much like to stay at Bayern. Because currently there is a very good atmosphere there. We have a great team. We will also continue to receive this or that newcomer. That way we will be able to play soccer successfully. For a whole season. And those are things that David also just knows. “

Oliver Kahn can’t confirm Dest … yet

Well played, Hamburg. Well played.

Amateur team loses 37-0 after COVID-19 scare (CNN)

SG Ripdorf / Molzen, who is a real team and not part of our computer-generated Bundesliga, lost 37-0 “after practicing social distancing in their game against local rival SV Holdenstedt II.”

What happened? Ripdorf’s hat tried to postpone the game, his co-chair Patrick Ristow said after the game, because Holdenstedt had come into contact with a player infected with the coronavirus in his previous game.

Holdenstedt’s players had tested negative, so the club insisted that the match be played.

As for Ripdorf, seven players, the minimum to avoid loss and a fine, volunteered to play. But they played while trying to maintain social distancing.

Ristow said after the match: “For the full 90 minutes our players kept the perfect distance so that Holdenstedt had enough time to score goals. We didn’t talk about tactics because we all knew this game would be a huge loss. … We also know that the score is really bad but safety is more important than a game for us. For all players, this result is fine and [at] at the end of the season, it is important to score points and not goals ”.

Schickeria agrees not to return until all the fans return (AZ)

Bayern bosses sit too close for comfort

Perhaps you noticed something during the game when the camera panned to the Bayern officials in the VIP box:

So far the issue of social distancing, does that probably not apply to Bayern bosses?

Oliver Kahn told ZDF after the game that everyone “followed the Bavarian regulation that allows just that.” Bayern substitute players were also seen sitting relatively close together in the stands. Maybe that’s really the case.

Still, I was also surprised, especially after watching Germany’s recent international matches, in which the German team lined up for the anthems before the games with six feet between each player, while Spain and Switzerland were shoulder to shoulder. .
