The death of Franc Beckenbauer shocked the entire sports community. Everyone, football people, gave their reactions, sharing the memories they have with the German "legend", who closed his eyes once and for all on Sunday.
" Today is a sad day for the world of football. We lose a legend of our sport. Excellent as a football player and then also as a coach. It's unfortunate because he was still quite young, although I knew he had been ill for some time. It is a great sadness, we are all poorer. I have a memory of Beckenbauer in particular, when we played against Germany in Rome, we drew. In the end he complained that the grass was too short and he could not shoot well from the middle of the point, as he did. This anecdote always stuck with me, he was a perfectionist. As a person I have met, it was a little word. As a player, he won the 'Golden Ball' twice as a defender. One of the football greats is leaving ", said Arrigo Saki.
Galiani: A God, on the field and off
" Franz Beckenbauer's death touched me a lot, because I knew him well, he was a gentleman. I had the chance to meet him many times, as a person he was like playing football, elegant. A stylish person, a super person. As he was on the field, he was also off the field ," Galiani said.
Boninsenja: A true captain and man
" My memory of the great "Kaiser" is a Mexican memory, when at the Azteca stadium we managed to beat the great Germany in extra time. It was the match of the century and he was the absolute director, the one who dictated the tempo. He was the real captain on the field, the real man of the team. He is in the Olympus of the greatest of all time, for us in the period that he was. In the 1970 World Semi-Final he fell and hurt himself, but he beat his shoulder and tendon, these are indelible images. It went well for us, even if that game cost us a bit of the final. But it was great Germany, with great players like him ," said Boninsenja.
Lineker: One of the absolute greats
The former striker of England, Gary Lineker, through a post on "X" has reacted as follows: " I am sorry to hear that Franc Beckenbauer has died. One of the absolute greats of our game. 'Der Kaiser' was the most beautiful of footballers who won it all with grace and charm. REST IN PEACE ".
Rudi Füler: German football is losing its greatest personality
" I am very sad, the news of his death affects me a lot. I consider it one of the great privileges of my life to have known and experienced Franc Beckenbauer.
Our time together with the national team was crowned with the World Cup title in 1990 in Rome, a title that would never have been possible without his outstanding training performance. Kaizer was an inspiration for more than a generation, he will forever remain the shining light of German football. With Franc Beckenbauer, German football is losing its biggest personality, I am losing a good friend" , said Rudi Fëler.
