President Herbert Hainer supports Joshua Kimmich

President Herbert Hainer has once again strengthened the back of the recently heavily criticized Joshua Kimmich at the annual general meeting of FC Bayern.

“But it’s not okay to pillory our players and especially our Joshua Kimmich,” said Hainer and received applause from the FCB members (here in the live ticker). “We protect ourselves in front of our players.”

At the same time, the 67-year-old pleaded once more to get vaccinated: “I would like to make a request: It is a personal decision of every individual, but we at FC Bayern Munich see vaccination as the best way to get us all back again lead the life we ​​had before Corona. “

Last year the AGM could not be held because of the pandemic. “Corona has put a lot of strain on us. We are all the more pleased that we can see you and you here today,” said Hainer.

FC Bayern has recently had problems with professionals who have corona or who have been quarantined because of direct contact. Among other things, the mentioned Kimmich and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting are missing because of a positive result. In addition, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala and Michael Cuisance are in domestic isolation.
