Max Eberl Dismisses ARD Moderator’s Question During FC Bayern Interview

In a recent interview, Max Eberl, the sporting director of FC Bayern Munich, found himself sidestepping a question about Vincent Kompany. This occurred just minutes before a key DFB Pokal match against FC Köln.

Max Eberl Sidesteps Question on Future Vision with Vincent Kompany

During a live broadcast, moderator Alex Schlüter approached Eberl with a question regarding his future plans involving Kompany, who has recently extended his contract until 2029. The timing of the inquiry proved to be inconvenient for Eberl, especially just before kickoff.

Exchange Before Match

Eberl expressed his discomfort with the question, stating, “Now don’t take it the wrong way, Alex, but three minutes before kickoff, to be honest… I want us to focus on the Pokalspiel, not discuss the vision Vini and I talked about during the contract extension.”

Schlüter acknowledged the situation, suggesting they could discuss it at a later time and advised everyone to enjoy the match first. Their brief exchange was noted by expert Bastian Schweinsteiger, who smiled at the interaction, while Eberl chuckled as well.

Conclusion

The interview wrapped up shortly thereafter, allowing Eberl to focus on the game against FC Köln. This moment highlights the balancing act sports officials must manage between media engagements and on-field responsibilities.
