Berlin (dpa) - Honorary President Uli Hoeneß has nervously reached his limits in the historic success of the basketball players of FC Bayern Munich in the Euroleague.
“For the last ten minutes I only stood.
That made me crazy, "said the 69-year-old in an interview with MagentaSport and added:" When it was over, I let out a scream.
Our dog hid under the couch right away and must have thought: What's the matter with him? "
With a 71:70 over Zalgiris Kaunas, Bayern were the first German team to reach the playoffs in the most important continental club competition.
On Friday, the team of coach Andrea Trinchieri added 82:72 (43:37) to the leaders FC Barcelona.
«When I was still active as President, we always said: We want to become German champions and we want to be as close as possible to the top of Europe.
Now we're at the top of the European league! ”Said Hoeneß.
Above all, he praised the work done by Trinchieri.
«The trainer showed a clear handwriting here.
You can see that the coach can be very tough, but also very warm.
It suits us wonderfully.
If I were to take responsibility, I would do anything to keep him, ”said Hoeneß.
Bayern will face Italian top club Olimpia Milan in their quarter-finals from April 20th.
The round of the last eight is played in best-of-five mode.
