FC Bayern Munich wants to send another signal against Russia’s war in Ukraine in the top game of the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen. This was announced by coach Julian Nagelsmann on Friday. “There will be a sign of solidarity without going into details,” said the 35-year-old, who again expressed his dismay at what was happening in Ukraine before the home game on Saturday (3:30 p.m.). “We must stop the war as soon as possible.” The images are “terrifying” and “intolerable.”
Nagelsmann said that he was trying to make a personal contribution, “which unfortunately is somewhat limited.” When asked about donations, he indicated that he was also involved in this regard. “I keep donations private. I don’t want to put myself in a light. I like to keep it to myself,” he said.
Nagelsmann also took a stand on Bundesliga games and sporting events during wartime. “It’s always a question of alternatives. You can see it from both sides,” he said: “You can say it’s actually not the time for entertainment. The focus of the fans is certainly a bit different these days. It is good that our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. But you can also say that letting your thoughts wander can also be good, »argued Nagelsmann.
