Internal rififi at the “Mannschaft”? Anyway, that’s what you think recent remarks of Dennis Schröder about Maxi Kléber.
In question: the absence of the interior of the Mavericks at Eurobasket, who had preferred to rest to blow his knee, when he had to negotiate his new contract with Dallas.
” Maxi was not there last year and the message then was: if you are absent, you will be also next year “, explains to start the new leader of the Raptors, while Maxi Kleber is still present in the pre-selection of theGermany for the World Cup (August 25 – September 10).
What Dennis Schröder obviously does not digest is that his compatriot decided to withdraw from the German team from the pre-selection for the Eurobasket, while players like Isaac Bonga and Moritz Wagner, or quite simply him -even, did not do it despite a contractual vagueness or an injury.
” Isaac Bonga, Moritz Wagner, these guys were still present and, if Maxi had said: ‘I’m hurt, but I’m coming’, it would have been different, I would have said that he was still among us “Adds the leader, who had joined the Lakers at the end of the competition. ” It’s all about commitment. It is an honor to play in the selection. We made [la sélection] sexiest last year and now suddenly everyone is here again. You have to make sure it’s fair. »
” Sorry to tell you Maxi, but you have no game. »
Clearly, Dennis Schröder does not want duty players, always present in the selection, to be forced to stay on the floor to make way for players like Maxi Kleber, certainly more referenced worldwide, but who are sometimes missing. of their coach.
Then the leader of Germany not to stop on such a good path, then taking out the sulfateuse to decide on the choice of his compatriot, whom he really wants…
” If he had said that he was going to sign his contract and play with the selection to earn even more money, I would have understood him. But if you say to the coach: ‘I want to practice my ball handling and work on my game over the summer’, then sorry to tell you Maxi, but you have no game. You stay in the corners, you defend, you play pick-and-roll, but you’re not someone like Carmelo Anthony, you don’t have to work on your game. The older you get, the more you identify your strengths and the more you try to exploit them to the maximum, blatantly, to play as much as possible in the NBA. So, me, I especially said to myself: ‘Maxi, you want to work on your game and that’s why you can’t come to the selection?’, which bothered me a little, in all honesty. »
To be seen if the tensions will ease when the two players meet again and it will indeed be necessary for Germany to be able to fetch a medal at the World Cup in Asia as hoped…
