Hurt Himself and His Team: Matthäus Lashes Out at Ulisses

Germany's football legend reacted very frankly after the dismissal of a Bayern Munich star in the match against Stavanger.

According to "Sports Three", Lothar Matheus criticized Michael Olisse after Bayern Munich drew 3-3 against Viking. The 24-year-old French winger received the first red card of his career after receiving a second yellow card and being sent off in the 74th minute; What happened after a typical foul and throwing the ball to the face of Zlatko Tripić, the opponent's captain, following a provocation.

The Norwegian team was able to score a tie in the 90th minute by using numerical advantage. In an interview with Bild magazine, Mateos said: "This work is not acceptable in any way; even if the referee did not see the scene."

The former player of the German national team, realizing that opponents try to take an influential player like Ulysse out of the flow of the game with physical contact and provocation, stressed that the French star must learn to manage such situations. He added: "It is natural for opponents to try to provoke a player of this level by all possible means."

However, Mateus did not consider Tripich's behavior to be the main culprit and said about the Bayern winger: "I stand by my word that Ulysses was caught by the opponent's provocation." He also lamented the consequences of the reaction, saying, "In the end, he not only hurt himself, but more than anything, he hurt the team."

Despite these criticisms, Matheus does not consider it necessary to impose a financial penalty on this player and believes that this is an opportunity for him to mature more. "This is a learning process that every young player must go through," he said.

Matheus also added that Ulysses has been punished enough and is fully aware of his mistake. The German football legend described this as part of Ulysses' evolution as a world-class star. This dismissal will also have immediate sporting consequences, and Olysse will therefore miss the upcoming Champions League home match against Arsenal.
