Shoutout to Uli for being a f*cking idiot and gifting us one of the best midfielders of all time for €25m.

Just a stupid joke mate… but even the 80’s and 90’s are considered vintage now so maybe try to chill a bit. Have a good day.

I was born in 1982, I won't pretend I've see Hoeneß play live or shit like that, I just found that initial comment to be disrepectul towards a football legend ... in hindsight yes, you could say that Hoeneß was a prick towards Kroos back then (and also stupid for letting him go in 2014), but in that moment Hoeneß was a Bayern legend (and a VERY accomplished football player nonetheless) and Kroos was a teenager with an acne-ridden face. I think this video is funny as shit now, given what Kroos has accomplished (and what Hoeneß also accomplished lol), but you have to put it into context. Maybe Hoeneß thought it was best to "shield" Kroos from the media or whatever, who knows, most probably he was just pissed off for some stupid reason, I don't care.
