Max Eberl was not happy with the entire situation…
It appears that Bayern Munich midfielder João Palhinha was not the only one seeing red after his questionable challenge resulted in a red card during a 3-2 loss to VfL Bochum.
Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl did not sound thrilled with the 29-year-old.
“You should avoid flying into such challenges so that the referee has the chance to give you a red card. If we are one man down, then we have to run more to compensate for that man,” Eberl told t-online (via @iMiaSanMia).
This has not been a banner campaign for Palhinha. Injuries, illnesses, and a slow transition to a new club have all felled the Portuguese international. A move that was so coveted by many, now appears on the verge of tanking.
Can Palhinha put this behind him and find that drive and intensity that made him such a wanted man at Bayern Munich in the first place?
