SC Freiburg Christian Günter is still smarting over the referee’s decision to award Bayern Munich a penalty for a handball by Max Rosenfelder vs. Harry Kane.
Kane would go on to bury the penalty attempt and give the Bavarians a 1-0 lead in what would eventually be a 2-0 victory.
“A really crazy penalty. One thing is that it was probably from 50 centimeters, the other is that when you make a movement, when you jump, then of course your arms go up a bit. Rose [Rosenfelder] had his arm behind his body. So if that’s handball, then I’d rather stop playing football, because that’s really such nonsense. I really don’t understand it,” said Günter (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “Maybe the DFB should do some training on how to jump without arms. That would be good. Maybe they should introduce that before the season next year, they should come and show us how to jump without arms. I don’t understand it. But the people who decide should step in front of the cameras and explain these situations.”
While that one play did not determine the entire game, Günter knows that it did affect how the game was played after that point. Now, Freiburg must regroup over the international break and focus on getting a win over VfL Bochum on Saturday September 14th.
