Bayern Munich's new Dutch manager Louis Van Gaal "showed me a lack of respect," 'Kicker' soccer magazine quoted Brazil captain and star defender Lucio as saying on Thursday.
"Every coach has his own opinion and that is normal, bit I was not given enough respect during my separation (from Bayern to Inter Milan) and I consider I deserved better treatment," the Brazilian said.
"I am a world champion (in the 2002 winning Brazil team) as well as winning the Confederations Cup twice and was chosen best defender in the Bundesliga,
"Surely I did not need to show him further proof of my abilities?" he added.
Last week, the 31-year-old defender signed a three-year contract with Inter for a reported 8 million euros.
Meanwhile, Bayern's Franck Ribery is still unable to train due to a knee injury, the German club said on Thursday.
The 26-year-old French midfielder has an inflammation to his left knee which prevented him from training with the squad at a pre-season camp at Donaueschingen in south-east Germany.
Ribery, under contract at Bayern until 2011, continues to be the focus of media speculation in Germany about a possible switch to big-spending Real Madrid, a move Bayern management have said is impossible.
Striker Luca Toni also missed training with a thigh sprain, the club said.
