Max Eberl Cancels Appearance on ZDF Sports Studio
Leipzig Managing Director Max Eberl had previously agreed to be a guest on the ZDF sports studio on Saturday evening. However, he has since canceled his visit to moderator Jochen Breyer, citing his unwillingness to discuss certain topics during the interview.
The editorial team was not able to meet Eberl’s request to exclude certain topics, including his early departure from Gladbach and the recent fan protests. While Eberl was willing to answer a few questions on the subject, he did not want to focus solely on it during the interview.
Sports studio moderator and Gladbach supporter Dunja Hayali commented on the situation on Twitter, stating that there are still many follow-up questions but everyone has the right to change their opinion – including on an invitation and statements.
Marius Bülter Replaces Eberl on the Show
Following Eberl’s cancellation, Schalke’s Marius Bülter has been announced as a replacement guest on the show. This comes after a weekend of fan protests and controversy surrounding Eberl’s departure from Gladbach.
Even though Eberl was willing to answer some questions on the subject, his unwillingness to exclusively focus on it may have played a role in his cancellation. Despite this, it will certainly be interesting to hear Bülter’s thoughts and insights on the world of sports.
