Michael Zorc, sports director of Borussia Dortmund, has suggested that the upcoming Bundesliga matches be avoided due to the corona crisis. “There is no blueprint on how to deal with such a situation. This is new for everyone and the situation is incredibly dynamic. But when I see that the Spanish and Italian leagues are now pausing, even though they are with Their 20 first division clubs have even more matchdays and therefore have bigger scheduling problems, I ask: Why shouldn’t we be able to do the same? “said Zorc der SZ.
The Bundesliga still intends to manage the 26th of the 34th season match days from Friday to Monday. All nine games are scheduled without an audience, the Dortmund derby against Schalke 04 is scheduled for Saturday at 3:30 p.m. So far, the Bundesliga teams organized in the German Football League (DFL) have only decided at the beginning of next week whether the season will be interrupted.
Due to the corona chirp, Zorc also demands more scheduling flexibility in the international competitions of the European Football Union (UEFA). “Of course we have some holy cows in the international framework calendar, namely that the Champions League final or this year also the European Championship should be held on certain dates. But this situation is so extreme and so extraordinary that we now have such dates Of course we have to question, “said Zorc, adding:” A shift would give us air to stop the game in an orderly and appropriate manner now, and only play again when the safety and health of everyone involved can be guaranteed again. ” A postponement of the international dates would make it possible to extend the Bundesliga and other national leagues into the summer if necessary.
