An interview by Greuther Fürth coach Alexander Zorniger has caused quite a stir. After the 1:1 draw against SC Paderborn on Saturday, the coach sharply criticized his keeper Nahuel Noll. Which left Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sven Ulreich stunned.

But first things first! During the draw against Paderborn in the 2nd German Bundesliga, Fürth goalkeeper Nahuel Noll made a momentous mistake. In the 81st minute, the goalkeeper took too much time. Noll's shot was blocked by Paderborn's Adriano Grimaldi. The latter slotted home to make it 1:1.

Noll's coach Alexander Zorniger was really angry. After the final whistle, he literally tore his young goalkeeper apart in the Sky interview. "I haven't been so angry with an individual player for a long time, because it has something to do with the arrogance of these young players," he scolded. And announced: "He shouldn't make that mistake again, otherwise his advisor can call me and ask why he's not playing."

Here is Zorniger's interview:

"Unbelievable"
It is unusual for a coach to criticize his own player in public like this. The interview certainly made waves. "Unbelievable such a statement from a coach in public," wrote Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sven Ulreich via Instagram, adding angry emojis.
