FIFA Executive Committee member Theo Zwanziger
German football supremo Theo Zwanziger over his critical remarks on
Munich's recent trip to Saudi Arabia.
"What Theo said there was below the belt," Rummenigge told
broadcasters Sport1.
The former DFB chief criticised Munich in a mid-week interview with
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for not raising human rights during
their short visit last weekend for a friendly in Saudi Arabia whose
flogging this month of a blogger accused of insulting Islam has
prompted outrage.
Zwanziger said "I have long known that commerce beats ethics at
Bayern and when in doubt they are on the side of the purse."
Rummenigge admitted in a club statement that the club could have
acted in a better way and reiterated that towards Sport1.
"Of course we should have have adressed that human rights in Saudi
Arabia are not handled in a desired way. But there is no reason for
this kind of retaliation (from Zwanziger)," he said.
