Dortmund CEO calls Bundesliga critics 'stupid'

"Life always has some stupid arrogant people," Hans-Joachim Watzke said in Bild. "As a member of the Board of Directors of the European Club Association, I know German football still has a good reputation. The British clubs have not won any of the three European Cups last season. ".

Watzke's speech directly on Dean Sauders, who criticized Sadio Mane about the decision to leave Liverpool to join Bayern this summer. Saunders said that the Bundesliga is not a challenge for the striker who scored 120 goals in 269 matches for Liverpool. The former Liverpool striker also confirmed that Bayern could win 5-0 per week and be the only champion candidate of the tournament.

Sauders is not the only former player who criticized Mane's decision. Former striker Michael Owen is still confusing when Mane leaves with the image of an excellent player and can be considered as a monument at Anfield. Former striker Ally McCoist felt strange that Mane did not choose a better team or a tournament.

"If it's Real Madrid or Barca, especially Real Madrid, I can understand," McCoist said.

In response, Mane said that he felt impressed with Bayern's play. He also believes that Bayern is a suitable club and the time of joining is appropriate, despite many other suggestions. "I don't have to think twice about joining Bayern," Mane emphasized.
