Former football professional and today's Sky expert Dennis Aogo described Jens Lehmann's formulation as “disrespectful”, but accepted the former national goalkeeper's apology.
He phoned Lehmann twice on Wednesday, Aogo said in a message on social networks that evening.
“I accept his apology.
I didn't like what he wrote.
I didn't like the wording either, I think it's a bit disrespectful because you don't write something like that, regardless of who the message was addressed to, ”said the 34-year-old.
Lehmann loses posts and titles
Lehmann had written in a message via WhatsApp to the former national player Aogo: “Is Dennis actually your quota black?” The sentence was mistaken with a laughing smiley in front of the question mark.
Aogo, who worked for Sky on Tuesday evening as an expert in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League of Manchester City against Paris Saint-Germain, had published a screenshot of the message on Instagram Story.
He also published the comment: “WOW are you serious?
@jenslehmannofficial The message was probably not meant for me !!! "

The 51-year-old Lehmann had subsequently lost his position as a member of the supervisory board of the Berlin Bundesliga club Hertha BSC.
In addition, Sky and Sport1 announced that Lehmann would no longer be invited to these two channels - as was often the case in the past.
In the evening, the Laureus World Sports Academy reacted and suspended the ex-keeper "for an indefinite period of time from his role as Laureus ambassador".
Everyone makes mistakes, said Aogo and demanded: “Everyone deserves a second chance.
And I don't think it's right that everyone rushes at him now. ”He believed that“ he was sorry ”.
The subject was settled for him, said Aogo and announced that he would “meet with him as soon as possible”.
