According to the picture, except for Manuel Neuer, Kingsley Coman, Sven Ulreich, Thomas Müller, Dayot Upamecano and Bouna Sarr, all players take part in the vacation. The trip was approved by board member Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.

"It doesn't fit at all, especially after such a game. If you won yesterday, I would say: stay in Ibiza for three days," said TV expert Matthew in the program Sky 90.

The newly baked German champion FC Bayern lost on Saturday at FSV Mainz 05 after a long distances of bloodless performance 1: 3. "After this game, it doesn't work at all! Not only because of the players, also because of the external presentation of FC Bayern," said Matthäus. "The Bayern fans are annoyed and then the players go on vacation."

In this context, Matthäus would have liked to take a hard time from coach Julian Nagelsmann. "The days off are painted after such a game," said Matthäus.

Felix Magath was similar on Sunday. The Hertha BSC trainer had already clearly spoke on Saturday about distortion of competition in the mere view of the Bayern result of Mainz.

To the bild he followed: "I would definitely not allow something like that, something like that would not occur to me. One master celebration is understandable once, but not for three weeks."

After the Mainz game, Nagelsmann complained about his players' passion and announced: "We are at a point where we have to change something." However, the trainer did not feel the previously agreed special leaf - free of training on Sunday and Monday.

"As a player, I learned how strength can grow from defeats. Such a community campaign of the team can be an important basis here," continued the sports director. "It is completely clear that our players will fully campaign against Stuttgart to give our fans a nice end to the season as a master in their own stadium."
