Schweinsteiger On United & Mourinho: "They Kicked Me Out.”
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 май 2024
- On this week’s episode on the Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, we are joined by Bayern Munich legend and German World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger.
We join Schweinsteiger in Munich, where he won eight Bundesliga’s, to reminisce on his impressive playing career, including his move to Manchester United where he was reunited with former coach Louis Van Gaal and how things took a turn for the worse under Jose Mourinho.
The German international reveals what piece was missing in the puzzle of that 2016/17 Manchester United team, and which rivals they could have learnt from. Plus, would a move away from Old Trafford be best for former teammate Marcus Rashford?
Schweinsteiger has played under some of the greatest managers, as he tells us about winning the treble under Jupp Heynckes in 2013 and trying to adapt to Pep Guardiola’s style of play at Bayern Munich when German football was number one in the world.
Bastian also speaks about the impressiveness at Bayern Munich, Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben’s competitiveness and changing tactics.

Can't believe what I am hearing how he was treated by the Club. Bastian handled that with such class.
If the fans knew about this there would of been uproar, an absolute disgrace by United. The club is a joke and its essy to see why we failed over 10 years!!
By Jose mourinho
@@kyletrevena7987😂You won't do anything, not a damn thing. United supporters are all talk. United supporters still praise Mourinho and miss him. You know now. What you doing about it? Won't make a difference now. Tomorrow Ten Hag does it and Jadon performs at Dortmund, we blame Jadon meanwhile the systems broken AF.
Actually, we did know about it….. granted I’m in the US, so my influence isn’t all that great.
I could be wrong, but I thought he had said something, Jose took it a certain way, his legs were gone anyways, and Jose put the hurt on him???? I could be wrong on that though.
Embarrassing man
That’s why I love Bastian! Gets “kicked out” of the dressing room, and we hear no complains from him, not even a single news at all
So if he complained you’ll slander him lol
Absolutely loves Man United still. Legend
@@nottryingtobefamous9399 No, we''ll just call him Jadon.
Just shows what a shitshow United become once Sir Alex left, hopefully the top down clear out will be completed by the summer.
They would have spinned the narrative, it's more shocking to me that the players don't defend their teammate... What is football these days I don't even know
People outside of Germany dont realize that this guy is our Steven Gerrard / Paul Scholes. A whole generation grew up idolizing this guy, even if you hated Bayern.
I'm Polish and have to admit, watching Bastian play for Germany was always a treat and a pleasure. As a kid my favourite midfielder was Ballack, as a teenager it was Bastian. I wish he played for Schalke, not nearly as prestigeous as Bayern or United but they'd sure treat him as he deserved.
We do realize, guy is an absolute legend. Before him I loved watching Ballack, also a total legend but unfortunate with trophies
@niklas its the same theatment made by german coaches in Ger
He can feel what others foreigners feeld when they r in Germany
From India, he along with Klose my favourites!!
2 legends 😁 Fantastic interview.
Hello Müller!!
You should be on next. Obviously on a rainy day, in a studio in Stoke. Overlap, make it happen 😁
Didn't know you had a RUclips account
Ball halten gegen Real im Rückspiel. Tempo runterfahren. Ich hab aber wenig Ahnung vom Fußball 😅
We love you Bayern legend!
Bastian is such a classy and well spoken guy. Nothing but positivity from him
Most Germans are
Possibly one of the best names on a person of all time
@@solarmaru49Best football name by a mile at the very least
Could listen to him all day, class act
Very true, a gentleman
Absolutely disgraceful how United treated Bastian. Respect to him for taking it on the chin and not running to the media.
And also the fact that he STILL loves united after that. True red 🔴🔴🔴
No absolutely disgraceful how mourinho put him thefe
@@tnizz1965and absolutely deserved. shouldve done his part and spoke to MOU not assumed the same agreement as van gaal. trophies won by MOU and then this guy went to mls. LMAO keep common sense common
@@weaponX14 shut it
@@laurisp5588 CRY MORE ya rookie
The confidence Schweinsteiger talks on how he can handle Xavi is what makes him an absolute legend.
He talk so confident about how he can handle xavi because that's what he did.
He’s also one of the best midfielders of his generation, nothing surprising here
@@cynicmyst10 Wrong! In 2008 and 2009 Schweinsteiger didn't even played in midfield but on the wing.
Louis Van Gaal moved him to midfield in April 2010 so i'll give you the WC semifinal in 2010.
Apart from that Schweinsteiger bossed Xavi every time they've met.
We Talking About Prime Schweinsteiger
@@MrIkOgNiToWell they didn't meet a lot after 2010, 2013 was basically the last time (2015 Xavi wasn't a starter at Barca anymore).
That’s why he is a World Cup champion. Humble but full of talent and class….
Imagine trying to be this articulate, thoughtful, personable and interesting in a 2nd language. Absolute class player and person.
I'm french, but I always feel like germans are the most well spoken in any 2nd language, if that makes any sense
Interesting to read that :D here in Germany we always mock ourselves for being bad in foreign languages and admire the Dutch and Scandinavian people in this. But you English and French guys are the exception I think. The French don't want to and the English don't have to learn ist.
@@louisdnd934 is this also true with Germans speaking French?
It's funny you would say that because Basti is struggling with German most of the time :D
Basty will be always red!
Never did I think that a World Cup winner, a champions league winner, one of the best midfielder of his generation, a legend of one of the great clubs in Europe been kicked out of the dressing room and had to ask others to move his stuff just because he wasn’t allowed and had to train with the U16s. He was sad just to recap it to Gary and he still loves the club. All the love to you Basti. Good change is coming soon to united. Thank you for your service to our club. Forever legend❤
Class act as a footballer and a human being
Classy gesture from Schweinsteiger 👍 Until now I still dont know what to expect from Jose 😅
It appears united has a very terrible human culture.That is why the team is been struggling for ages.The culture robs down the players and makes them incapable of performing.These American owner should just leave .
That 10000% destroyed the morale in the lockerroom. The players arent blind or stupid.. and definitely would have a heart for bastian
He's so positive, calm and resilient - What a true gentleman! Such an interesting interview
I cant believe what im hearing. He is the reason I fell in love with football. As a small boy i watched him at the world cups matches… that brought me to Bayern and i supported him always. I was crying (i was a boy) when he left…. And hearing this just breaker my heart. He is a legend in my eyes, one of the greats the sport had.
Bro absolutely the same. First game i saw him play was in the 2006 WC against portugal. Mesmerised with him, imagine being 6 year old and seeing a guy launch absolute rockets toward portugal's goalkeeper. FußßballGOT
Gary's face whilst Bastien is telling him the incident of him getting kicked out of the changing room is priceless...He is literally open-mouthed!
I was too disgraceful from Utd
Basty will be always red!
As a United fan...I was shocked too. I cannot believe how poorly he was treated. Bastian was always one of my favourite players PERIOD. When he came to united I was so happy. Sure he was a bit old when he joined. But goddamn hearing what he went through is revolting and if it's any indication of what's going on at united now. I'm absolutely disgusted.
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 It puts a whole new complexion on the Ronaldo situation. I was truly appaled at Bastien's treatment. Shows there is always two sides to any story, especially in football
I think everybody made the same face except Jose
As a Man Utd supporter for 51 years now I can only apologise to Bastian for the disgraceful way you were treated. You were an absolute legend of the game and I am disgusted with my club. I am so sorry. Thank you from true supporters for all you did and the love for us you had. Absolute legend.
I wish he stayed there stealing wages and barely playing. What a legend
Ditto
Weird fella you @@dohnjoe4516
Couldn’t of said it better myself
@dohnjoe4516 The club made the decision to sign him you doughnut, couldve easily played over Fellaini and Schneiderlin at that time alongside the likes of Herrera.
One of the best midfielders of my generation. He was an animal in the 2014 world cup final, won every trophy in the game. Disgraceful treatment from my club United. In this case I actually wish a player did approach the media.
And he still supports the team on social media. Pure class
Just from his interview alone, how can you treat this gentleman like that, unbelievable
Basty will be always red!
He's such a good lad
Because he is a gentleman is the reason they treated him like that.
Maybe he was too much of a gentleman and man United took advantage of that, good guys finish last something like that
Gary has become one of the best interviewers across all media. He actually listens to his guest and doesn’t ned a script. If just one BBC presenter was this good…
Basty will be always red!
News channels want you to interfere and not allow the truth out
Are you okay? Did you not watch it? From the beginning? He had his notes his phone and paper. He said he doesn’t want it there as in camera shot angle. I guess he’s that good that he fooled you he’s definitely one of the best in the industry.
@@lilekoe1 calm down Ned keep your hair on
@@archiehickox6518 😂 I’m sorry I was hangry
Should've asked him more about Bayern culture, overall German mentality at World Cup, time with Guardiola etc.
I love the clear direct yet respectful way that he speaks
Between 2009-2015, Schweinsteiger was arguably the most versatile CM in the world. Most fans would remember him for his defensive attributes, but he also had unbelievable ball control, passing range, and decent dribbling skills from his flamboyant winger days early in his career. Nothing short of world class, and an absolute Bayern and Germany legend.
Agree. I have 3 CM that are in their own league in that era : xavi, Scholes, and Schweinsteiger. Maybe Pirlo also. Schweini was my favourite german player.
Enthousiastic, top long balls, consistent, winner, long shooting, short assist, handle the tempo of the game...better than Scholes and Xavi in defence..dream player
his passing ability was not talked about enough.
@@fififairuzfuyooo Also not enough about his ball control and dribbling skills. He was such a well rounded player without any significant weaknesses
2006-2015
He met my nephew at a Man Utd foundation gig and couldn’t have been more of a gentleman. He loved Man Utd and we used to travel to watch them. He was incredible that day and genuinely made him feel a million dollars.
Sadly he passed away and it broke my heart, but the photo of them both is one of my favourites.
I wish him all the luck in the world for how he made him feel that day
sorry for your loss mate
Basty will be always red!
@@roquegaetamarquez200 always Bayern United red. Never Bayern City red and wash up blue :)
💙
@@Carrera06GT thank you mate.
I have always loved how Schweinie played the Game with lots of Emotions and how he hated losing, the Pain in his Eyes when they lost and now so love the Human being that I see here, wow so humble.
This guy just oozes class. So much respect for him, for the way he's dealt with everything.
One of the best interviews so far. What a classy guy. Absolute legend.
Knowledgable, insightful, balanced & strong. It raised the level of the whole interview
Basty will be always red!
This was public knowledge though and he did complain I remember the articles you can Google them. Media will notice when a player is never at training lol
The interview that you don't want to be finished
Both Ronaldo and Schweinsteiger both commented on how surprised they were at training facilities, gym etc. That is mind boggling for one of the wealthiest clubs in the world. Surely a club like that should be updating equipment, facilities etc regularly.
Not when they’re owned by the Glazers. They take money out, they don’t put in.
Also the people with the money didn't use or see the gym. They only see numbers.
Wealthiest club? Over £1b in debt mate.
@@mundolioknows6447
It's a debt economy brother, you don't use your own cash when the bank can give it to you.
@@thefacelessquestion3333 right, but being in debt doesn't mean wealthy. It's literally the opposite!
But I get your point. Given how much money was splashed on players and their contracts, we should have maintained the facilities to actually help those players succeed.
Absolutely blown away by Bastian. Gentleman and a scholar. Could listen to him talk football all day.
It shows just the charakter of Jose....Bastian is such a humble guy...
This was public knowledge though and he did complain I remember the articles you can Google them. Media will notice when a player is never at training lol
One of my favourite players ever. Over the moon when he came to United. Shame it didn’t work out. It’s digusting how Jose and the club treated him tho I gotta say. When you think of top professionals, Basti is certainly one of them and should have never deserved to be treated this badly
Schweinsteiger was one hell of a player in his day, and it was really cool to see him at United. It's unfortunate how it ended, but he's still a legend. He'd walk into our midfield now, maybe even get the captaincy, too
Maybe? 100%
Watching that all I could think was MMM FOOD
one of the best ever midfielders in football, he won it all.
Probably would have walked in to that team to be honest. Just poor management
Best midfielder to grace the pitch
He is pure class. I was buzzing the day he signed for us and so glad I got to see him play. Gave everything he could. Reds will always appreciate you, Basti!
These youngsters coming through, Sancho and these crybaby, attention seeking, Instagram players need to learn these values, attitude and levels of class from Schweinsteiger what a true professional footballer. A true winner indeed.
he didnt win anything, after that he went to the MLS and ended his career. So overall he didnt win anything for not going to the media and actually was able to be bullied out of a Club.
as a Young player like Sancho, you dont wanna be silent and be bullied out of a club to then make a transfer to a small little club cause he vanished from the eyes of the public. Thats literally when you create way more problems, esp. Clubs thinking they are able to ruin someones career if they want to without being punished for it.
Bastian, us United fans know what calibre of a player you was in your prime. Class on and off the pitch a legend in the football world. We'll always appreciate you coming in and giving us your best👏🏼 Murtough is a bum glad he's going
THIS!
The fact that he goes out his way to support the club still aswell. What a guy!
As Alan below said......THIS
Gary is a man on a mission! 3? Mad. Timing? Perfect.
Basty will be always red!
Unbelievable! This was an elite midfielder and a World Cup winner. One of the finest professionals in football.
One of the BEST conversations. I love him and wished he had played longer for MU.
Crazy thing he loves United and always posts about us. I'm sad it ended so badly, he was a good player and senior in the dressing room
It is SHAMEFUL the way he was treated
It's because Bastian understands the difference between ownership and the core of what a club is, he knows that it's Glazers and Woodward, not people the club stood for, it's been infuriating 15 years of seeing United in the hands of Glazers, losing all the standards and practices it stood for since Busby days.
He didn’t deserve what he got at manu
Werent allowed in the dressing room. Absolute disgrace. Great interview
the thing about all this that it seems all the bad environment is still goin on at that toxic club
@@buffalosowljah373 yes.. its sad. Hopefully we will get back to the old man U values someday..
Jose has some terrible record about dealing with certain players.
He is such a nice guy. Still offers his support for United now, even after all of his experiences at the club
That was brilliant, I'm gutted this episode wasn't on for longer! What a professional & what a captain he sounds like he'd make a great manager
Bastian was a pure winner. United treated him like a pariah. The man won EVERYTHING in the game. Legend.
One of the best Overlap interviews I’ve seen so far!
Always knew Bastien was a class act, and this really confirms it. Big thanks to Gary and the team for getting him on the show! What a legend.
Really loved him at the club he was class. Disappointed to hear how it ended up going but I’m sure all the fans still have huge respect for the man 💪🏼
The way we treat some of our players is sometimes more embarrassing than losing.
Bastian, Ronaldo, Dea Gea, unbelievable.
di maria falcao pogba just to name a few, united destroy carreers after Ferguson left
Love how he shows a good light with LVG, as did Rooney, Giggs and Carrick
great manager typically unitred did as united does.. belittled his whole career
@@vaultmarketplaceltd1901I still can’t believe they sacked him DURING the FA Cup final.
LVG was the Main Factor for Schweini switching from Right Wing to CM. Best move of His career.
Would have liked another year under van gaal, the willingness to give debuts consistently was great to see.
Honestly wen look at the players he had (varela lingard borthwick jackson a young rashford, martial , depay) he did well to finish 5th and win a cup he deffo deserved another year
"I'm not someone to run to the media" class Bastian 👏..perhaps Rashford, Sancho and a couple of current United squad should take a note out of your book.
If a player needs to go to media or chooses not to, it's a sign things are badly wrong within the club, as Bastian pointed out. Only people on the inside know how ludicrously bad the organisation is run.
Perfect comment
Except this is his millionth media appearance talking about the same thing. I've got a bridge to sell you mate, I swear it's real
@@dohnjoe4516 he's obviously on about going to the media during your playing days and going behind your manager's back
this is 9 years later for crying out loud
@@dohnjoe4516completely different talking about it once you are retired
This is why I always consider Mourinho as anti-football, He has no respect for a player like Schweinsteiger' he was the reason for Ronney leaving Manchister and he did the same to Casias in madrid. Im glad Mourinho's couching carrier is going down.
Respect to Schweinsteiger for his professionalism.
What an AMAZING interview! Pure class on both sides. Hearing Schweinstieger talk about so many important moments was awesome. Thank you!
all this and he still loves and supports the club... class player, class man.
Dignified, professional, not entitled.. even after winning CL and WC. Class bloke and underrated player. When he was at his peak he was a total machine.
Was in the same category than Scholes and Xavi for me. But i prefered him as a guy. Top guy, enthousiastic, altruistic...he was already like that when he scored against Portugal in 2006, thats the first time i saw him...
Tbf he was earning thousands of pounds for being a sub😂. He was laughing to the bank man.
Beautiful interview..... If Schweinsteiger is not a good person then he's the best actor alive. So calm and composed.
Probably the best one yet! Both interviewer and interviewee! Brilliant stuff
One of the most insightful interviews I have seen in ages. I think Bastian would make a fantastic manager. The brain on his shoulders.
☝️
Absolutely
Always liked Bastian! Great guy, great servant for Bayern and United. Sad to hear how he was treated by the club. Didn't deserve that at all. Credit to him, he still holds a place in his heart for United after how he was treated. Pure class.
They done this man dirty, he shows nothing but love to United, will always love this guy! Classy guy
Absolut fantastisches Interview - sehr gut gemacht, Gary!
One of my favorite players growing up and of the most likable personalities in football. A real legend of the game, nothing but respect for Bastian Schweinsteiger🙏🏼💯
The class of Bastian is shown in this whole video, could listen to the guy for hours
His English is incredible for a German. Fair play, love the guy and wish he was treated better by us.
great personality, just geniune person, love him, best interview onoverlap, thx!
I see a few comments saying how classy Bastian came across in that interview and they’re 100% right.
Conducted himself perfectly throughout his career.
Probably doesn’t get the recognition he deserves though.
Keep bringing them Gary!
Would love to see more German and Spanish legends on this show. It’s good to get views outside the PL.
Class man, respectful and love for the game, all the best 😊
Bastion oozes class .
Utterly shocking to how MU treated a legend without hearing his side of story . Absolute disgust !
One of my favourite players ever, never gave up always fighting for the team, no complaining, always giving everything.
On one hand i Like Mourinho and then we hear Bastien's story and my feelings for mourinho drop massively. That was a spineless thing to do, to get Murtough to tell bastien, not even one of José 's coaches doing it at the very least.
Maybe it came from higher up
@@Andy-bf8os Wether it did or didn't, as a man mourinho should have had no problem face to facing Bastien and telling him straight. Like I said, a bit spineless and snakey from Jose.
@@billbaggiotmua372Players always get the manager sacked. Bastian was likely on huge money and was injury prone. No wonder he was happy at the club. Was basically a holiday for him. He retired almost a year after leaving didn't he? He was finished
@@JMatthew131 He was finished but that shouldn't matter. If you treat someone like that just because they stop being of use to you then you're a bit of a scumbag.
Mou thought bastien was aligned with Van Gaal and would cause him trouble. Mourinho was incredibly wrong and schweinsteiger was a model professional. It was arrogant and stupid and he decided before even meeting him. Completely classless behaviour that embarrasses united.
@@hurrayforanonyms He probably was upset LVG left. He played 18 league games in 2 years that is not a model professional. He was finished and by the sounds of it wasn't interested in moving on until he was forced. Only hearing one side of the story here.
What a top bloke, really showed huge character to go through that. Every professional should learn from his example.
Loved every second of this interview.
Basti and Muller made me fall in love with football during the 2010 World Cup. Such a top player. Love you Basti!
What a summer that was. That Germany team. WOW
Just love this guy! True gentleman!
What a guy, always stayed a gentleman, even if the club treated him like trash. class act, great interview
My favourite interview that you have done! With my idol and favourite player of all time!
The humility this great man carries is phenomenal. Add to the fact he was one of the best midfielder of his generation and you have a LEGEND of the game that young kids should all aspire to.
Spot on
He gets treated like that and never complained. Respect for that. Great interview !
This was public knowledge though and he did complain I remember the articles you can Google them. Media will notice when a player is never at training lol there’s media at youth training too
@sloppygoo It's always public knowledge. Fans notice when players aren't playing lol
He couldn't have complained that much because there's no way Jose would invite him back to training if he did.
Absolute legend. Respect. Top top professional. Thank you for service to Manchester United!
Mr Calm, on behalf of all United Fans we’re sorry that you were treat in such undignified manner.
Basti, we thank you for you professionalism
Brilliant interview
Basti is a very pleasant and a kind person. I met him during that season and he had nothing bad to say about the club despite his situation. Imagine this happening to the modern day player.
Let's face it, lads, we are being spoiled with quality content on this channel 👌🏾
He English is ridiculously good. So eloquent.
What a class act!! A world class midfielder and all d trophies he's won and b that humble!! Wow!
Great interview Gary. Kudos!👏
Basti was always one of my favourite non united players, I loved his game ever since he broke through at Bayern, so when he came to united, even if it was the downhill of his career, I was overjoyed, regardless how long he was here I got to watch live as basti played for united at old Trafford, I'll cherish that forever.
Schweinsteiger what a player for Germany back in the day. Really strong German team - Lahm, Klose, Ozil, younger Thomas Muller.
Can’t forget khedeira. But wow! What a team
And the best player in that team Toni Kroos
A younger Thomas Muller? Would be a bit weird if it was an older Thomas Muller.
Thomas Müller is a vampire. Even when he was a kid he looked 35 years old.
Philip Lahm! A lot like Gary. Quiet, smart, hard worker, right back, captain.
This interview is class - and I'm very thankful to have been alive just in time to follow Schweinsteiger's career from his first game for Bayern to lifting the world cup to retirement. What a legend of the game!
Only watched this one, as it came up when I was distracted.
I've gotta say, I really enjoyed the interview and the considered way the questions were answered.
What a great guy and a class act! And a top footballer as well! The shift he put into winning the World Cup for Germany was off the scale, he was a warrior! So sad to hear how Woodward and Jose treated him! United fans loved him and still do!
He tells the story with a smile atleast. Good to see he's not bitter... Great segment.
Finding out Basti supported United and Bayern growing up made me love him even more. I absolutely hated how the club treated him. But I love that he never complained or leaked to the media. He stayed as a professional. He seems like a chill guy.
Best show on RUclips! Makes me pause and hold my head in my hands! Phenomenal
What an absolute gentleman. Great example of how a professional footballer should be. Another great interview, nice 1 Nev! 👌
Glad you enjoyed it 🤝

One of the best overlaps. Really insightful! Didn't have a clue about any of the dressing room antics. Credit to Schweinsteiger for not going to media etc. Top Bloke & Top Player!
Another great interview. Much respect to Schweinsteiger. So sad how poorly united treated him, one of the modern greats of the game. So many trophies, mentality, performance, then barred from the first team. Gary is right, it's like constructive dismissal
What a lad!!! Such a gentleman!! I’m amazed how he had handled the situation without making any headlines.. United has been making such blunders ever since Ferguson has left and still continues to do it.. (I’m lovin it though 😆)
wish this was longer. one of my all-time favorite players. great watch
What a player world class! Really enjoyed the interview.
Superb interview , great job Gary and overlap . What a great player
Schweinsteiger is very influential in how modern day German midfielders play football. Ballack was a wonderful player but Bastian had that little bit more. A more complete midfielder. The likes of Kroos benefited so much from him. Amazing player. Great character and incredible professional. One of my favorite midfield players between 2006-2014.
One of my favourite signings for United. It breaks my heart to think he could have played so much more for us. A true legend and a true Red our Basti ❤
Top interview. Nev always getting the best out of his guests👍🏼. Really enjoyed it
Corr blimey this takes me back to 2015 when me and my friends once did "Bastian WineSteiner" in which we spent an evening drinking a stein of wine in tribute to Bastian. Was absolutely fantastic. I made a point of watching Bastian's top 10 goals on the night too. All bangers!
Also...one of the attending WAGs was put off wine after that night...it did get messy tbf...and none of us are really in contact anymore...I enjoyed it though.
True gentleman of the game! No complaints just gets on with it! What a legend, so much respect for him and even less for united
