In the summer, Leverkusen’s managing director sharply attacked his colleague from the German record champions. Now the two met.
Max Eberl and Fernando Carro apparently met for a discussion before the top game in the Bundesliga between FC Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen (1:1). That was reported on Saturday evening. There was a handshake between Bayern’s sports director Eberl and Leverkusen’s managing director Carro, and the dispute from the summer was settled for the time being.
According to reports that coincide with information from t-online, Eberl approached Carro in the guest of honor area of the Allianz Arena and offered him his hand of reconciliation. When they last met during the Champions League draw in Monaco at the end of August, both were said to have avoided a handshake.
Before the season, Carro made a personal attack against Eberl: “I don’t think anything of Max Eberl, absolutely nothing,” Carro said at a fan club meeting. Tensions between the two managers arose around the planned transfer of national player Jonathan Tah from the champions Leverkusen to Munich. The change later fell through.
At the time, the people of Munich reacted with “enormous irritation” to the “unobjective attack” (CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen). Carro publicly apologized. Eberl held back and announced the team’s reaction on the pitch. Carro’s long-time Bayer colleague Rudi Völler also expressed criticism of the top team, saying it was “certainly not quite right,” Völler said at the time in Sport1’s “Doppelpass”. That was “a bit too harsh on Max”. “He regretted it.” The matter will now be put to rest with the discussion.
