Reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich were thrashed 5-1 by Wolfsburg on Saturday, and Dutch midfielder Mark van Bommel was everything but happy with Wolfsburg head coach Felix Magath after the match.
Wolfsburg were leading 5-1 in the dying minutes of the game when Magath opted to make a change. First choice goalie Diego Benaglio was replaced by back-up shot-stopper Andre Lenz in order to let the latter gain some first team experience.
"That was really unacceptable. You just don't do things like that. He showed a serious lack of respect for Bayern Munich with his action," said Van Bommel to Bild.
Magath wasn't impressed with Van Bommel's outburst though and made it clear that the action had nothing to do with provoking the opponent.
"Lenz replaced Benaglio against Hamburger SV due to the latter's injury problem. He had to make way again for this match, but I promised him that I would let him play against Bayern whenever possible," Magath concluded.
