Football World Cup: Gündogan criticism of experts – praise for Kramer: “Outstanding”

“I often don’t understand why some experts from outside go for it and make headlines with extreme opinions. Of course, that sells better. But it also hides the entire truth from the audience. However, getting closer to it is the real job of an expert,” wrote Gündogan in his current column, without naming names.

Gündogan cited ZDF expert Christoph Kramer as a positive counterexample in his opinion. The fact that the 2014 world champion played at a high level was a positive thing. “That’s why Christoph Kramer is such an outstanding expert at ZDF. Because he can convey that well,” said Gündogan. However, Dietmar Hamann and Mario Basler, known for their clear, sometimes flippant opinions, were also active at the top level.
