Recently, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Ulreich was penalized for verbally abusing the Bayer Leverkusen sporting director from the sidelines, with the German Football Association (DFB) deciding to suspend him for one match and fine him €20,000.
After the match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, a video circulated on social media showing Bayern goalkeeper Ulreich using foul language from the substitutes’ bench, directly targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s sporting director Rolfes. In the video, Ulreich can be heard repeatedly shouting, “Sit down, Rolfes, you bastard!”
Bayern’s sporting director Eberl is very dissatisfied with this decision, considering it too harsh: “A few years ago, De Bruyne used even worse words to insult a ball boy at the sideline, and he was only fined at that time. I think the suspension plus fine for Ulreich is excessive, but we will stand by him through this.”
