The Bundesliga will return from the Corona break next Saturday. But obviously nobody asked the players.
Union professional Neven Subotic (31) complains about the lack of consideration of player interests by the German Football League (DFL).
He did not want to talk himself out of responsibility, but wanted to make it clear “that we simply did not play a participatory role in the decision-making phase and concept.” According to his knowledge, there was no influence from players or a representative body in the decisions to restart the game.
Subotic: “If you put that in relation to the Italian league or the English league, for example, where the players’ association is a serious entity that is also consulted in such crisis situations, then you look at Germany a little disappointed because this is not the case here the case is.”
He himself has a “basic fear” that he could become infected: “I also try to behave accordingly and take all the safety precautions and measures. I use this to secure myself. Now the risk is definitely increased through physical contact. “
The defender, who had been with Borussia Dortmund for almost ten years, had recently said in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC skeptical about the restart of the season in a week: “I am critical of how everything was managed, but I understand that it’s a difficult situation for everyone. “
Subotic: Kalou video a “shock”!
In the interview, Subotic also speaks about the video of the now suspended Hertha star Salomon Kalou (34): “We all first held our breath because we thought: what’s going on here? We’re completely in the wrong film here. ”
The Union professional explains: “We can only protect each other if they protect themselves. There is no room for mistakes. “
Kalou had streamed a video live on Facebook on Monday that showed some clear violations of the DFL’s corona rules, including how Kalou greeted several players with a fist check or in one case even with a handshake. The prescribed distance of at least 1.5 meters was ignored several times. Kalou later even burst into a corona test, although only two people were allowed to be in the room.
