#Schweinsteiger|s Aussagen sind vor dem Hintergrund der taktisch diszipliniert auftretenden, technisch starken und körperlich robusten ivorischen Mannschaft, von denen viele Profis in Europa spielen, ein wenig peinlich. Klar, dass das in den Ohren Emerse #Faé|s *mindestens* respektlos rüberkommt. Gerade im Hinblick auf die europäisch-afrikanische Geschichte sollten wir den afrikanischen Mannschaften grundsätzl. mehr Achtung zollen und nicht so klingen wie ein Kolonialist aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.

Ivory Coast coach slams 'racist' comments made by Schweinsteiger

Ivory Coast coach Emerse Faé has slammed what he considered were racist comments made about his team by Bastian Schweinsteiger. The former Germany player described the Ivory Coast team as "a bit unorthodox" and "wild" before Germany played them last weekend. Faé who led his team to the World Cup knockout round for the first time with a win over Curaçao on Thursday expressed disappointment in Schweinsteiger's remarks. Critics, including sports commentator Patrick Schnitzler and journalist Philipp Awounou, say the comments play into racist stereotypes. Faé emphasized that his team uses strategy and intelligence to succeed.

Klopp walks off when asked about Schweinsteiger remarks about Ivory Coast

World Cup pundit Jürgen Klopp broke off an interview after being asked about former Germany player Bastian Schweinsteiger’s characterizations about the Ivory Coast’s team’s style of play. Schweinsteiger, also working as a commentator, said before Germany played Ivory Coast last weekend that Ivory Coast played “a bit African football, a bit unorthodox, a bit wild, a bit perhaps also not so conditioned by tactics.” Klopp seemed taken aback when asked about the comments on Wednesday by Deutsche Welle in a huddle with journalists in New York. Klopp said he didn't know “what is appropriate to say” and he left.
