Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper Tobias Sippel finds it regrettable that private comments made by team-mate Florian Neuhaus to fans while on holiday were published on the internet. "Of course, the words chosen by Flo are not acceptable, but these statements were made in a supposedly private moment and it's sad to film it secretly and put it online," Sippel told broadcasters Sport1 on Saturday.
Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper Tobias Sippel finds it regrettable that private comments made by team-mate Florian Neuhaus to fans while on holiday were published on the internet.
"Of course, the words chosen by Flo are not acceptable, but these statements were made in a supposedly private moment and it's sad to film it secretly and put it online," Sippel told broadcasters Sport1 on Saturday.
Neuhaus was fined and is training with the under-23 team instead of the Bundesliga squad due to a video circulating on social media in which sporting director Roland Virkus is mocked.
The short clip initially does not show the footballer, but a voice can be heard making mocking remarks about Virkus. The incident is said to have taken place on the Spanish island of Mallorca.
Substitute keeper Sippel has extended his contract with Gladbach for the upcoming season. He will remain part of the goalkeeping team and will also be introduced to his future role as youth goalkeeping coach.
