"“I have immense respect for Uli. He has achieved incredible success and has played a major role in making FC Bayern what it is today - with its high reputation in Europe as well. He has my phone number and I'm always happy to speak to him if he has something urgent or sees room for improvement in me or the team,” Nagelsmann said (as captured by @ iMiaSanMia)."
"Hoeneß issued a stern criticism of Nagelsmann penchant for tinkering with his starting XI and also followed it up. Clearly, the Bayern Munich legend has a message that he wants out there. For Nagelsmann, though, a back and forth with Hoeneß would be a nightmare and a distraction. The lack of engagement shows some growth from the coach, whose reputation - and job - could be on the line at the World Cup."
"It appears that Nagelsmann has learned a bit since his tenure as coach of Bayern Munich. While the German national team coach would not engage, DFB director Andreas Rettig was happy to oblige earlier this week. Nagelsmann’s refusal to take the bait left by his elder kept the focus away from public conflict."
Uli Hoeneß criticized Julian Nagelsmann for frequently changing Bayern’s starting lineup. When asked about the criticism, Nagelsmann expressed immense respect for Hoeneß and said Hoeneß has his phone number. Nagelsmann stated he is always happy to speak if Hoeneß has urgent concerns or sees room for improvement in him or the team. Nagelsmann did not engage further publicly, while DFB director Andreas Rettig was more willing to comment. The situation is framed as a potential distraction for Nagelsmann, whose reputation and job could be at stake during the World Cup.
