As it is with their reputation, known for years. For them flying again Häme and ridicule around the ears. Yet Bayer Leverkusen and VfL Wolfsburg were held this week once again clearly demonstrated that their reputation is not great.
The six traditional clubs Eintracht Frankfurt , Werder Bremen, VfB Stuttgart and Hamburger SV, 1. FC Köln and Hertha BSC have in fact joined forces and want as “team market value” in the distribution of TV revenue reach that next to the sporting success of other factors such as membership or the number and the away fans be considered. It is, they say, will be rewarded to higher TV ratings and viewership achieve as sporty successful teams -. Such as the VfL Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen
Ironically those two clubs that have a competitive advantage because they know with VW respectively Bayer financially strong corporations behind them, meet on Friday night. In Leverkusen it comes to the summit of the business associations – or the “El Plastico”, as scoffers called the duel with respect to the artificially grown Bundesliga
How many. others in Germany have been following the debate on the distribution of television money in the past few days the protagonists in Wolfsburg and Leverkusen. Lo and behold, it holds no grievances against the competition, which is now struggling under common flag. Klaus Allofs, the manager of VfL, even showing understanding. “We do not consider ourselves attacked opponents and also have to build any enemy,” Allofs told Sport1. It is legitimate that you get together with similar interests and think would, “how to promote German football. This is commendable.”
“The sheer quantity may not be decisive “
Rudi Völler, the sporting Director of Bayer, also shows an understanding of change requests. However, one must also see where the current proposals would, Voeller said in an interview with “World”. Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne or Frankfurt are cities. “. So the teams have per se over larger Fanpotenziale and viewership than other Hamburg has ten times as many inhabitants as Leverkusen, the sheer quantity can there not but be decisive,” said Voeller, adding: “Percentage considered, the stadium capacity is in smaller towns even much bigger. and clubs like Mainz, Augsburg and Freiburg have certainly once again a different perspective than the big city clubs. There is excellent work being done that would surely difficult by the envisaged new sharing key. “
Völler is certain that there is a reasonable solution. How much money will get every club soon, is still open. But what good is all the money when sporting success is absent in the end?
A picture of horror
Although the VfL is still in the Champions League represented, where he met Real Madrid in the quarterfinals. Bayer hand goodbye only from the pinnacle and then also the same from the Europa League . In the league, but both clubs are lagging their claims afterwards.
The Wolves, who ended last season at least as runners and cup winner, is seven games before the end the current season only in eighth place. Stand now, he would be 2016/17 not represented internationally. The residue in sixth place, which would entitle to participate in the Europa League, although is only three points. But the image that proposed for the Lower Saxony currently, is a picture of horror. Not of the beautiful game trains or class out played Goals is mentioned, when it comes to the VfL. No, of well-paid stars who are out of shape or problem professionals who worry off the field headlines.
As was the case Max Kruse. The striker was for the international matches against England (2: 3): has been in the squad of the world champion, before coach Joachim Loew ausbootete him shortly due to private escapades again and Italy (1 4). Against Bayer Kruse would like sporty ensure a stir. “Max will bring power, ready,” says Dieter Hecking. it would prefer the coach, Kruse would equal time score two goals against Bayer. “Then he does his silence critics.”
This in turn is Nicklas Bendtner in Wolfsburg no longer succeed. The Dane was initially exempted from training on Thursday. He had trained individually in the past two weeks after he had untern others slept a workout. “The current situation is unsatisfactory for all and can not be permanent,” said managing director Allofs. Behind the scenes is now a premature termination of the contract work (by 2017).
Derlei conversations are not in Leverkusen. But even as it was athletic might not always much better. Only in the past three games, from which the club took seven points, the curve went back upstairs. Before that Tribünenverbannung coach Roger Schmidt certain headlines. In addition there were rumors about a possible change in the coaching job. Lucien Favre, it was said, Schmidt would inherit the new season.
Völler denied interest in Lucien Favre
This was contradicted by Rudi Völler now vigorously. Roger Schmidt, he said before the match with Wolfsburg, “does a great job here. And believe me, he will deliver here quite a long time at this level.” Five weeks ago, it would have meant that Lucien Favre is the clear candidate at FC Schalke 04th “Now it was that he was with us in conversation. So the business that should not be too high hang you,” says the Leverkusen sporting director.
He now hopes that his team, which is in the running for the participation in the international business as Table sixth again, now comes with full concentration in the remaining season games. “. Against Wolfsburg itself offers a great opportunity to further keep a fellow competitors at bay This is an opportunity we must seize,” said Voeller, whose club is on Friday count again on two players who have long been violated – Lars Bender and Charles Aranguiz are the first time in the squad.
you will be there when the two clubs duel, although not enjoy great appreciation for many German football fans , but still able to deliver spectacular Games. Last season, the VfL resulted in “El Plastico” 3: 0 before Bayer rankam again, it 4: 4 was – and Bas Dost finally for 5. Made 4 win Wolfsburg
