"Everything I said was very helpful for him (Max Eberl). Everything I said was meant to help him. What annoyed me a lot is the stupidity of some journalists. They interpreted my words as if I had something against Jackson. These (journalists) didn't pay attention in maths because I said he won't play 40 games from the start. We still have 32 Bundesliga games. If we reach the Champions League final, which we hope we will, that adds 13 games. The total is 45 games,"
"What I wanted was to help Max, because he was accused of granting this option (obligation to buy). The same goes for the fact that the player and his agent contributed to the deal. That's something positive, because it took the loan fee down to €13.5m. Those are positive things. Apparently, I'm Max's biggest defender. Maybe he could have said that himself - if he did, he wouldn't have been criticized for days."
Uli Hoeneß defended remarks about the Bayern deal that brought Nicolas Jackson via loan with an obligation to buy. He said his comments aimed to help board member for sport Max Eberl and criticized journalists for misinterpreting his math about potential starts. Hoeneß explained the season comprises 32 Bundesliga games and, if Bayern reach the Champions League final, 13 more, totaling 45 games, excluding DFB-Pokal, and noted Jackson will miss matches for the African Cup in January. He highlighted that the player and agent contributed financially, lowering the loan fee to €13.5m, and suggested internal information gaps at Säbener Straße.
