Süle jokes about physique: “I’m not a fatso either”

Niklas Süle of FC Bayern Munich has been joking about his own physique compared to Robert Lewandowski on the current US tour. The FCB professional doesn’t care whether he is the best German central defender, as Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently claimed.

“I’m not as well-trained as Lewy, but I’m not a fatso either,” Süle joked loudly on FC Bayern’s US tour. During the preparation Lewandowski had made speeches about himself with an upper body free photo, Süle countered: “I’m just relatively stocky.”

The fact that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently described Süle as the best German central defender is relatively unimportant for the 23-year-old: “This was sent to me by mates in a WhatsApp group. I don’t give a damn, I don’t take part in discussions like this.”

In any case, Süle does not categorize himself as a “big loudspeaker”, rather he prefers to go ahead with performance: “I’m glad if this is recognized. I have always tried to show my fellow players with my performance that I can be relied on. “Sometimes with a tackle or a slide.”

FC Bayern will break camp in Houston today, Monday, and move on to Kansas City (Missouri). There, the last game of the USA trip is scheduled with the test match against AC Milan (Wed., 4 o’clock live on DAZN), before it goes back to Munich.
