Plain text by Uli Hoeneß (68)!
The honorary Bavarian president and deputy chairman of the supervisory board was a guest in the BR and spoke on the program “Blickpunkt Sport” about the ghost championship, the triple, corona and salary caps. Schalke has just introduced a salary cap of 2.5 million euros per year, according to the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”.
Hoeneß on the Salary Cap: “You can forget about salary cap because that is not feasible at all. They all rave about the Salary Cap in the USA, in the NFL, in the NBA. But the salary cap is not described for the individual, but for the whole club. That means they can spend 300 million, but that still means that one earns 80 million. You are only allowed to no longer spend in total. That doesn’t get us anywhere. These are all hypocritical discussions. “
And about the competition in times of the corona crisis and its financial consequences, Hoeneß explains: “I am convinced that the others simply have to make even more efforts. I don’t think you can expect people at Bayern to suddenly start working half a day so that the Bundesliga stays exciting. It will be more difficult for the others to get us down there in the future, because FC Bayern is well equipped for the future due to this crisis. (…) Werder Bremen, Mainz 05 or Schalke 04 could not prepare for this situation. The decisive factor will be how to deal with these things in the future, and it will be necessary until things are going well again that the Bundesliga develops in solidarity, as it also showed in the first few weeks. “
… about the Corona period: “I have to say one thing about the corona thing, it is difficult for everyone. Our country, especially here in Bavaria, solved this perfectly. This is a great opportunity for Germany and Europe. (…) We should all be a little more humble and grateful. I didn’t understand these demonstrations. It’s all insane, when the wave comes back everything is broken. “
… about TV money: “I was always a big friend of free TV. Nevertheless, it is important that there is pay TV. If we want to play internationally, we have to cry with the wolves. If the English get less in the future, I won’t have a problem if we get less. “
… about the 30th title: “I have to praise those responsible very much. Despite these difficult circumstances, everyone did a great job where others did not get along so well. ”
… about the triple mission: “If our team can preserve the form they currently have, we have a good chance of winning everything this year. But the pressure is big enough anyway. With this joy of playing with this fun, we can go very far. ”
… about the Attack department: “It has become more difficult. I still think that a culture of debate is very important in our society. The internet has taken this in a completely wrong direction. There are so many crazy people who continue to do it for weeks and months through shitstorms. (…) I would really like to go to the talk shows every now and then. I know the consequences that I can not hold back if one or the other bullshit wriggles. ”
… about Tönnies and the Corona scandal: “At times it reminds me of my time with the tax thing. If mistakes have been made, you have to stand by them, he does. But that everything that he has done, that he has built up for a large company, is now suddenly in ruins, it cannot be. ”
