FC Bayern: Kahn worried about Bundesliga – BVB & Co. have to create tension

FC Bayern’s boss worried

Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn worries about the connection of the Bundesliga in international competition. “More top stars in the league, excitement at the top, that helps with the sale of TV rights at home and abroad. And this is exactly where we have recently lost ground dramatically. We are happy to work together with the German Football League on solutions for how the top German clubs can keep up in the Champions League,” said Kahn.Süddeutsche Zeitung“.

“Because without success in the Champions League, the entire Bundesliga will continue to lose ground in marketing, and that will ultimately affect all clubs,” explained the 52-year-old. “It is our goal to have a team that can play at the top of the Champions League next season, so we will automatically be favorites for the German championship title again.”

In the “premier class”, FC Bayern was the only German representative to make it into the knockout stages, but were eliminated in the quarter-finals by FC Villarreal. For Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and VfL Wolfsburg it was over after the preliminary round, at least in the Champions League. It continued in the Europa League, in which Leipzig reached the semi-finals and Eintracht Frankfurt celebrated the final.

FC Bayern boss Kahn on the championship fight: “Competition must ensure excitement”

For the tenth time in a row, Munich have now been crowned champions in the league. Kahn would like more excitement, but sees the pursuers as having a duty. “We have nothing against a title race with a lot of tension. On the contrary,” he explained – with the postscript: “But in the end with a German champion FC Bayern!”

The former FC Bayern goalkeeper continued: “Of course I know that all non-Bayern fans would like more excitement in the fight for the championship. But the competition has to provide the excitement. Clubs like Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen will do everything they can to oust us from first place – and we will do everything we can to ensure that they don’t succeed.”

The outgoing sports director of BVB, Michael Zorc, reacted to these statements with an interesting thesis: “It may sound strange, but it is a disadvantage if you constantly have to deal with the expectation that we as BVB will kindly stop Bayern The black and yellow are “usually second – and yet it is suggested everywhere that you have failed. This is a trap we let ourselves be maneuvered into.”
