Relations between Germany and Poland are always strained before they compete against each other but what has occured is rediculous and stupid.
The daily newspapers, Fakt and Super Express, have both been criticised for running doctored photographs of Poland coach Leo Beenhakker in various poses of aggression towards the German national side; one photo has him brandishing a medieval sword and about to deliver a death blow to captain Michael Ballack. The other depicts Beenhakker clasping aloft the severed heads of Ballack and Germany coach Joachim Loew, and implores: “Leo, bring us their heads!â€
As expected the Germans have reacted to this describing the pictures as “an absolute scandal,” and they want answers from Warsaw. Another comment from the Polish German ambassador I wish them the worst. I think it is particularly bad that this is published at a time when fans are coming into contact. It’s completely unnecessary and really should be ignored.â€
The Polish coach had this to say “We apologize to the German people. We want to distance ourselves totally from these weird, dirty and sick people.â€
This should be ignored and these people should be presicuted for doing such stupid things when they know tensions are high.
