Bayern Munich President Makes Shocking National Team Threat

Bayern Munich President Makes Shocking National Team Threat

Manuel Neuer & Marc-Andre ter Stegen

The ongoing feud between Manuel Neuer and Marc-Andre ter Stegen has taken a shocking turn after Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness started brandishing threats.

FC Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen sparked a rivalry with Neuer earlier in the month when he complained about the Bayern star continuously starting ahead of him for the Germany national team.

The 27-year-old's comments follow Neuer's indifferent form for club and country, and sparked a debate around who Die Mannschaft's starting goalkeeper should be.

According to Sport Bild, Hoeness has now waded into the debate by warning Germany manager Joachim Low that Bayern would withdraw their players from national team duty if Neuer was dropped for the former Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper.

"We would never accept that," Hoeness said.

"Before that happens, we will no longer provide players for the national team."

Germany general manager Oliver Bierhoff remains unconcerned by the 67-year-old's comments, however, and believes that FIFA's regulations afford the national team protection against such heavy-handed acts. 

"No, because a club is obligated to release its players for international duty as per FIFA regulations," Bierhoff said when asked if he was concerned about Hoeness' threats.
