German football legend Lothar Matthäus has suggested that Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeneß was deliberately provoking a reaction with his recent comments about Jamal Musiala.
Matthäus, speaking in his capacity as a pundit, described Hoeneß's remarks as "poking the bear," implying that the Bayern veteran was testing the young star or the club's hierarchy.
The exchange highlights ongoing tensions around the development and public handling of one of Germany's most promising talents.
