“Fotball is in danger, don't dare stop the” championship

Munich Bayerni Executive Director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge calls for not stopping the championship, as football is in danger. The delegate of the Bavarez club is overly concerned about the situation, and 65-year-old Westphalia does not rule out the possibility of Bayerni closing the balance for the first time in losses. Given the large number of goals or match performance, “Kalle” fears that if they don't open stadiums quickly, people will begin to adapt by attending home meetings, from the screen.

The appeal that Rummenigge makes in Europe's best-selling paper “Bild” is clear. No one dares to stop the championship!” Bayerney's top leader believes that with such a situation, many clubs in Germany and abroad would risk bankruptcy. If things escalated according to him, many clubs would disappear and it would become very difficult for Bundesligla to follow in the same format.

KarlHeinz Rummenigge was president of the Eu0ropa Club Association ECA, before current Juvenus President Andrea Agnelli was charged with this function. The 65-year-old is concerned about the future of this sport. “Kalle” explained that clubs have returned to make full payments, however, he acknowledged that everyone is trying and sacrificing really much to enable something like that.

KarleHeinz Rummenigge did not rule out the possibility that for the first time in his 19-year career as delegate Bayerni will close the balance with losses. Such a statement, very sincere, is impressive at such a time, especially considering that last season the bavarez team won Bundesliga, Germany's Champions League Cup, and had enormous economic benefits.

Munich's Bayernih closed the merkato with a passive of only 40m euros, yet Rummenigge fears a lot for the future. In Germany, stadiums have been opened in part for a month, yet Bayerni is pressed to keep the facility “Allianz Arena” on at least November 21st, when a duel has been scheduled on the calendar with a team like Werder Bremen and such a decision, of course, which is even more damaging to the bavarez club in economic terms.

According to “Kalle”, keeping the stadium shut down “Allianz Arena” for the entire 2020, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, has reduced Bayerni's profits to 100m euros, while in Europe he thinks that prestigious clubs have already lost between 50 million and 200m euros.

The executive director insisted, adding that he is unable to say exactly how long he will be able to endure such a situation. In all competitions the number of infected players is increasing day and normal match development is being questioned, however, Rummenigge will not consider the possibility of delaying championships at all.

The 65-year-old thinks the escalation of the situation would compel leaders to change the format of championships, but, above all, match development is at risk of getting rid of the many fans and impacting the change in football culture, oriented the passions of this sport more towards following matches from home, via TV screens.
