Message deleted – too late!
The players, some of whom are still sitting together, cannot believe their eyes when they read the peppered words of their coach, which are actually not intended for them. Schüepp will soon delete the message – too late. It has long been documented. The relationship of trust between players and coaches is in the bucket.
