Commentator for Dmitry Guberniev declared that death Franz Beckenbauer It is a loss not only for the world of football, but for all of humanity.
Spiegel earlier reported that world football champion Franz Beckenbauer had died at the age of 78. According to the source, the double Ballon d’Or (1972, 1976) died on Sunday January 7.
– He was the greatest of the greats – both an athlete and a coach. I was lucky to know him: we saw each other several times at football matches and he was my guest in the studio. Legendary football player and coach, great figure, intellectual. It is a loss for humanity.
—How do you remember him as a person?
“He was very easy to talk to, well-mannered, but with incredible self-esteem. It was not for nothing that they called him the Kaiser. He looked like a real person of royal blood, but at the same time very simple, without a shadow of arrogance.
I have the warmest impressions, I cry with everyone. He even came to biathlon and encouraged Magdalena Neuner. We had a lot in common. The West German team he coached was great. Few people can become world champions both as a player and a coach. “Blessed memory, Kaiser,” Guberniev told .
Beckenbauer is a world champion (1974) and winner of the European Championship (1972) as part of the German national team. He has also won the German championship and the national cup four times and is also a three-time winner of the European Cup.
