Uli Hoeneß has a reputation as something of a firebrand. The Bayern Munich honorary president is known for speaking his mind and not mincing words when he does so. If it means taking to the media and putting
an appropriate party on blast, then so be it.
But that’s not the only side to him. It’s just the one that comes out when the club needs defending.
“I’m actually someone who prefers to deal with people reasonably,” Hoeneß expressed in recent comments captured by @iMiaSanMia. “I don’t like arguments, but if someone attacks FC Bayern, then there’ll be fire.
“To get to the top, I did use my elbows. But when we were at the top, I completely changed my strategy. When you’re at the top, you have to become social and give something back.”
Hoeneß is a guy you don’t mind having at your back in a scrap. For FC Bayern, he has certainly given his all — holding nothing back.
