Dirk Nowitzki’s mentor Holger Geschwindner has criticised international Dennis Schröder for his special wishes at the European Championship this summer.
“In the beginning, Dirk even paid his own insurance.No, that never happened.Certainly not”, Geschwindner explained in an interview with Sport1.
He could not accept Schröder’s behaviour.The 71-year-old, who formed Nowitzki as an exceptional player in decades of work, said the “American thinker’ What costs nothing is worth nothing’, hadn’t “been our philosophy”.
Schröder had attached conditions to his participation in the European Championship:”I want to have the same conditions as in the USA when I am in Germany.Whether it’s a car or an apartment that they want me to have,”he told the picture on Sunday,”2015 wasn’t like that.That’s the respect I was talking about.When he’s there, I always play national team.”
In addition to a car and an apartment, Schröder apparently attached his acceptance to the condition that his family and friends were allowed to stay in the team hotel.In addition to his sister and her boyfriend, some friends and his hairdresser from Atlanta were also present at the preliminary round in Tel Aviv.Schröder had led the German team into the quarter-finals with good performances, but she had dropped out of the European Championship against Spain.
