Jérôme Boateng cannot understand the punishment Bayern Munich imposed on Wednesday for violating the rules surrounding the corona virus. The defender must pay for a trip with a fine.
In Germany it has been ordered to stay inside as much as possible, but Boateng did leave the house on Tuesday without Bayern’s permission and this was revealed because a photo surfaced that he had been involved in a car accident.
“My four-year-old son had told me on the phone that he was ill. That is why I cannot understand this sentence. Of course, if it is justified, I will accept it. But that is not the case now,” says Boateng , who was not injured Bild.
“It was wrong not to inform the club, that’s right. But I was only thinking of my son at the time. If he needs me, then I go. Just point me to a father who doesn’t. And that I I’m fined for this, I think that’s sad. “
Bayern donates amount to hospital
Bayern has not disclosed details of the amount of the fine, but plans to donate the amount to the Munich Hospital, which is committed to fighting the corona virus.
Boateng has been under contract with Bayern since 2011. The Germany international seemed to leave last season because he no longer felt in place, but still remained and is often guaranteed a basic place this season.
