Because of Klinsmann's son: Hertha manager Preetz reprimands goalkeeping coach Petry

Berlin (SID) Manager Michael Preetz from Bundesliga soccer club Hertha BSC reprimanded goalkeeping coach Zsolt Petry after his criticism of young goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann (20). “First I will talk to our goalkeeper coach about the difference between internal and external communication,” said Preetz on Thursday. Petry criticized the current third goalkeeper, son of world and European champion Jürgen Klinsmann, on Tuesday for his too relaxed attitude. “The last two or three months have not been good. We are not satisfied with his development,” Petry said. The Hungarian currently misses “the serious and focused work” of Klinsmann, who grew up in the USA, and he is “still a bit too American”. Hertha's coach Pal Dardai, who trusts Petry implicitly, put his staff member's statements into perspective. "I don't think Zsolt is such a blatantly negative person. He treats his goalkeepers very well," said Dardai and also referred to the role of the media: "I think that was written a bit too negatively." Preetz also took the wind out of the sails of the discussion about Klinsmann Jr., who came to Berlin last summer and is under contract there until 2019. Above all, the sporting leadership wants to “give Klinsmann time”. "There are a lot of things that you have to work on. That's no question at all," said Preetz: "But with him and together in exchange with him. We will take this path when we have collected what has happened in the last few days was trying to deny." Dardai also cited Klinsmann's famous father as a reason for special consideration of his situation. "If his name wasn't Jonathan Klinsmann, would we make such a fuss with the third or fourth goalkeeper," the coach asked rhetorically.
