> "I thought long and hard about whether I should vote ‘No’ on the contract extension with Max. It was only during the meeting that I decided to abstain. I stand by that decision. For me it was important to make my decision independently and not allow myself to be prejudiced by a recommendation made beforehand"
>Rummenigge also stressed that there were several things he did not like in the lead-up to the vote. He said he had communicated his concerns internally

Germany Starting XI:
Kick-Off: 8.45 pm CEST
Ter Stegen - Treu, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown - Nmecha, Kimmich - Schade, Musiala, Adeyemi - Havertz
Netherlands:
Verbruggen - Dumfries, van Hecke, van Dijk, van den Ben - Gravenberch, Timber, Reijnders - Summerville, Brobbey, Gakpo
Bischof will be with the U21 in the beginning. Musiala and Gnabry possibly stay for the whole duration.
>Uli Hoeneß admitted on Monday that he faced criticism internally for jumping the gun and saying that Max Eberl was 100% to get a new contract back at the end of July - the loudest criticism indeed came from Rummenigge.
>Rummenigge's abstention was understood as a double message. On the one hand, he remains critical of Eberl's work and is closely monitoring him. On the other hand, Rummenigge made it clear that he was not prepared to readily endorse every decision that Hoeneß and Herbert Hainer prepare.
>On a broader note, the fact that the supervisory board is currently exerting more influence on operational matters is not sitting well with everyone at the club. Influential voices want a strong executive board that makes independent decisions – and is not constantly directed from above
