The conflict became obvious after a 3:0 defeat to Bayer Uerdingen on September 24, 1994. Yeboah complained on television that the team had not understood the new system and did not have Barcelona’s experience. Heynckes hit back live on air: ‘We know that Yeboah basically has difficulties expressing himself.’ Thorsten Legat, the intellectual strategist of chaos, admitted he knew little beyond the fact that they were playing with a back four. Heynckes was furious.
