Former ÖFB team captain Christian Fuchs has also asked for understanding in the debate about the lack of salary cuts by football professionals in the English Premier League.
“You have to look at it with two eyes,” said the 33-year-old on behalf of Leicester City “Sunday Sports”.
“On the one hand, I understand that you earn good money as a footballer,” said Fuchs. “On the other hand, we also pay a lot of taxes, which also benefit the government in fighting the whole problem.” Talks are still being held. Fuchs, who has worked in England since 2015, was confident that an agreement would still be reached. “Surely something will be worked out.”
Premier League professionals reject wage cuts
It is currently completely open whether the Premier League season will continue at all. Fuchs could not gain much from the resumption of the game without spectators because the virus could also be passed on in ghost games. “Nevertheless, 22 people or more are in contact. As a player you are in close contact with other players.”

Then there is the travel activity. “I would feel very uncomfortable right now if I had to get on a plane or drive to an airport,” said Fuchs, who is isolated with his family in a country house an hour and a half’s drive outside of New York. The situation in the US metropolis, which was particularly affected by the corona virus, is “very scary”. So far, more than 4,100 people with or from Covid 19 disease have died in the state of New York.
