World news – Niklas Süle defends himself against criticism

Bayern Munich’s central defender Niklas Süle has resisted criticism of his performance this season.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []). push ({}); « On the whole, I’m not dissatisfied. I don’t think the season was as bad for me as it turned out to be in public, » said Süle in an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The 25-year-old has no problem taking the blame when he makes mistakes, but feels unjustly chosen for criticism at least once.
For example, Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge made the defender publicly responsible for Amin Younes’ goal in Frankfurt’s 2-1 win against Bayern last month.
« To be mentioned for such a goal bothers me, regardless of who does it, » said Süle.
« When I have a bad game and it’s being written about, I’ll be the first to say ‘rightly’. But I don’t have to take the blame for everything and leave it uncommented.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []). push ({}); « For example, I was involved in every goal we conceded in our 2-3 loss to Gladbach. That was a bad game for me and it shouldn’t. » It’s not an excuse that I’ve been hurt for so long. But sometimes it goes well and sometimes it doesn’t.
« I don’t have to take the blame for other goals like the one in Frankfurt as a scapegoat for us if we lose there. »
Süle’s contract with Bayern expires in 2022, and it remains unclear whether he will sign a new contract.
« Before I have a private conversation with my employer, it is not my style to say anything publicly about it. When the time comes, I will sit down with my agent and my family to decide what is for me and my family the best is family financially and in terms of football, « said the German international when asked about his contractual situation.
Bayern paid 20 million euros in 2017 for the landing of Süle from Hoffenheim. (Adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []). Push ({});
