Morhardt died surprisingly – emotional statement from Sky commentator Dahlmann and Fuss

With tears in his eyes, Sky commentator Jörg Dahlmann mourned his longtime friend and colleague. “A person has passed away who may have been my best friend. Michael was maybe the kindest man I’ve ever known,” Dahlmann said on Instagram and continued: “I’m incredibly sad about it. Michael, we will always think of you, but it’s still just horrible that you left us so soon.”

Fuss is also shocked by the news of his long companion’s death and said to “Bild”: “It is incomprehensible and incomprehensible to me. I’m shattered For almost 20 years he has been at my side in the stadiums of this world. As an assistant, as an editor, but above all as a friend. It will be weird, it will be different without him in Dortmund tomorrow. He would have taken it amiss if I declined. In this respect, tomorrow will be a special day in many respects. The best always go too soon!”
