Meyer blasts his own father after Lamborghini rant about crisis-hit Schalke

Former Schalke midfielder Max Meyer has distanced himself from comments made by his father Achim, who posted a video on social media criticising the Bundesliga club while driving a Lamborghini.

Meyer started his career with Schalke, coming through the youth ranks of the Gelsenkirchen club before departing on a free transfer in the summer of 2018 to join Premier League side Crystal Palace.

Schalke have endured some hard times since Meyer left, finishing down in 14th in the Bundesliga in 2018-19, while this season a promising start has given way to a worrying slump in form and confidence.
