Jürgen Klopp and Rudi Völler sat down with Felix Nmecha shortly after arriving at the DFB training camp in Herzogenaurach yesterday. During the meeting, they made it clear to the player that if they were to stand firmly behind him and wholeheartedly defend him amid the controversy, Nmecha would, in return, have to convince them that he did not stand for ‘misguided values’
After the conversation, Nmecha put out a statement on Instagram explaining his position
BVB president and DFB vice-president Hans-Joachim Watzke also announced that the club would ask Nmecha to refrain from performing the crown celebration in the future. Dortmund are considering taking legal action against the “Ballers in God” (BiG) group if they don’t stop using Nmecha as an ambassador in a BVB shirt to promote themselves on their social media channels
Nmecha has yet to respond – and has also refused to give an in-depth Interview to answer follow-up questions and provide a comprehensive explanation of the issue
