Bayern Munich Players Congratulated Me On My Newcastle Move – Woltemade

German striker Nick Woltemade has reacted to Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge branding Newcastle United idiots for spending so much on him. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even though Rummenigge actually used the derogatory word during his interview, reading the entire statement made it sound less dramatic.

Woltemade added that Bayern Munich players congratulated him after his move to Newcastle, so it’s all love in Germany.

His words, “My team-mates commented on it, I didn’t. I think that was the right thing to do. A lot was made of my name, Bayern, and transfer fee during the summer; that was the story of the summer. To answer your question: the headlines everywhere said ‘idiots.’ But I read Mr Rummenigge’s entire statement – it was certainly somewhat unfortunate, but not quite so dramatic.

When I arrived at the national team, everyone congratulated me. Bayern players also congratulated me. When they see a player taking a step forward, you get congratulations. That was the case for me too. There were no negative comments, especially since my circumstances were special.”

WOW.
