Bayer duo criticised for 'enthusiastic' Messi shirt swap
Bayer Leverkusen director of sport Rudi Voller has condemned the behaviour of Michal Kadlec and Manuel Friedrich following the pair’s over-exuberant efforts to swap shirts with Barcelona’s Lionel Messi in their Champions League encounter on Tuesday.
Full-back Kadlec and centre-half Friedrich have been criticised by the German media for the way in which they pursued Messi for his shirt at the half-time and full-time whistles.
