An appeal to politicians – and a new goal for the team!
At the general meeting of BVB shareholders on Thursday there were clear words from Hans-Joachim Watzke (62). The Dortmund boss on …
… the embarrassing end in the Champions League:
“That hurt and shouldn’t have happened. We also retired early in the 2011/12 season. As fourth in the preliminary round in the Champions League. Back then, we ended up becoming German champions and DFB cup winners! We have to convert that into positive energy again now. It is of no use if we keep crying to ourselves that we have lost 13 million euros. The Europa League (named by Franz Beckenbauer Cup of Losers; editor’s note) is the only title that Borussia Dortmund is still missing. We have to accept that now and work to get back 13 million euros by winning the Europa League. ”For the win, Uefa paid 8.6 million euros.
… the championship summit against Bavaria:
“We’re looking forward to an extraordinary game. Everyone would be happy if Bayern’s title phalanx was broken. But Bavaria can put 100 million euros more into its staff. We have to accept that. The limit is where economic irrationality begins. It is true that with a win on Saturday we can be the leaders of the table. But we don’t let ourselves drift. “
… the corona situation:
“All those responsible in football are of the opinion that we need a significant reduction in the number of viewers in this phase of the pandemic. For infection protection reasons and as a sign into society. I appeal to politicians to keep moderation in all seriousness. And not that only populism is taking hold, possibly to distract attention from one’s own failures. The Bundesliga is ready to compromise and is responsible. “
