Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has angrily hit out at criticism aimed at him by former Bayern star Stefan Effenberg.
The German international has claimed that Effenberg’s comments made in the ‘Bild am Sonntag’ show a lack of respect.
Effenberg told Schweinsteiger that he needed to find a new club in his column for the tabloid paper. "Bastian has not only stopped in his development, he has even taken a step backwards" he wrote.
The 23 year old midfielder did not take kindly to those remarks and has hit back at the former Bayern captain.
"I respect Effenberg as a player, but not as a person. If you have your heart in the right place, you don't do things like this.
"He played so many years for Bayern, so I don't understand this."
Schweinsteiger has seen his form take a dip since the World Cup in 2006 due a mixture of injuries and personal problems.
