« This time, this struck us particularly strong, » said the member of the Boys of directors of Bayern, Max Eberl, with a view of the outdoor seasonal injury and the Crossed Ligament of Defender Alphonso Davies. His consultant Nick Huoseh has now clearly criticized Canadian national coach Jesse Marsch. Davies suffered the injury last weekend by working for her country of origin. New information was revealed on Thursday, but Davies himself took responsibility. The Canadian national team also spoke.
« He should not have played in the friendly match for 3rd place against the United States. I was surprised that he started because he had noticed that he was unable to start. A source in the Canadian association told me on Friday evening that Alphonso would not be in the interview, but I may have told you that he should not play at all, » said Huoseh in the interview with Munich.
In the eyes of the advisor, the chief coach March in particular should have « better weighing the situation, this bad injury could have been 100%avoided. Jesse Marsch worked in Canada as a professional trainer at the highest level in Europe before his time. Therefore, he should not play to celebrate individual successes.
Update 27.03.: « The Athletic » reported Thursday evening in reference to several sources that Davies himself had given the green light for an assignment, which had been questioned with the presentation of consultant Huoseh. Coach Marsh even wanted to protect Davies himself. But the player assured that you feel fit and stressed that you wanted to play. In consultation with the medical staff, the decision was then made that Davies would be deployed, but not during the whole season. Davies was then in vain for a report from the newsport. According to the allegations of Huoseh consultants, there was a declaration from the national team, which underlined, the Canada coach and the medical staff are « real professionals and have always put the safety and well -being of the players in their first place. Everything that claims the opposite is false ».

The 24 -year -old is to be operated on Wednesday. « I told him, of course, he is anything but satisfied with the situation. He wanted to be available for FC Bayern in the coming weeks, » said the agent about the state of his protégé. Huoseh had a bad feeling when he went to the ground, « he said, but expressed confidence with a view of the future: » I know he is in good hands with the Bayern team of the FC and will recover from this reverse. « »
