"Just because it's being watched all over the world, that doesn't make it the best product."
Hamann didn't stop there, criticising how much the players are paid by English clubs and how the top players in the world still prefer to play elsewhere.
"Some of the players should light a candle every night when they go to bed because if they were Icelandic, Portuguese, Dutch or German they would struggle to earn a quarter of money they're on now."
"It's not their fault that the clubs are paying that money. But it's over-inflated, the Premier League is a fraud. They pay world-class wages for above average players."
"If you could look through the team, can you see anyone play for the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the next five years?
"Maybe Stones and Barkley, apart from that it's bang average. How many of these players would be on the radar of the top clubs?
"You could make a case for Sturridge and Rashford, who did more in the five minutes coming on than the rest of the team going forward."
