96-Boss child: “The table is distorted” NDR.de – Sport

Starting May 10, 2020 at 9:45 p.m.

Corona’s positive results from second division football team Dynamo Dresden also raise questions about equal opportunities and possible distortion of competition. How should Dynamo get in reasonable shape after a 14-day training break? When is it reasonable to let the team compete in a point game again? The Saxons’ opponents are also affected: game cancellations will lead to weeks in English and an increased burden. Martin Kind, the main shareholder of Hannover 96, said in the NDR interview: “The table is distorted.” 96 would have been Dynamo’s opponents next Sunday, the game is now being postponed.

Doubts about the decision of the Dresden Health Office

The positive tests are a major setback for German professional football on the way somehow to end the season. “The team’s quarantine has changed the world again. When I received the news yesterday, I was almost shocked, but at least irritated,” said Kind, who commented, “The question is why the Dresden Health Department is probably comparable. It took a different decision from Cologne the day before. “

Who decides on quarantine for soccer professionals?

If the crown test is positive, should the affected player be quarantined or the entire team? The decision rests with the local health authorities.

At 1. FC Köln two players and a physical therapist tested positive. Except for the affected trio, no one had to be quarantined. However, the Rhinelanders were still training in small groups at this point, while Dresden was already training as a team again.

DFL to contact second division clubs

Steffen Schneekloth, President of the Second Division Holstein Holstein and Vice President of the German Football League (DFL), also known at the NDR Sportclub:

“First we had to swallow and think about what we are going to do.” Within days of receiving permission to continue playing ghosts, the DFL has an increased need to speak. “We will talk to the entire Second League next week,” announced DFL managing director Christian Seifert on Saturday at the ZDF “Sports Studio.” At the same time, he emphasized: “I do not interpret this as a setback. It was completely clear to me that this could happen at any time. We are at the beginning of the reentry. If Dresden is in quarantine for 14 days, this is no reason to question all the season”. We are not changing the goal right now, we are just changing the plans. “

What about other positive tests?

Plans stipulate that the season should end on June 30, because then contracts for the current season will also end. But what if there is more positive evidence in Corona? As soon as the ball rolls again, a complete test would quickly involve two complete teams. Seifert admitted that the calendar can no longer be met after a certain number of postponed games. “It is clear that there certainly is a size, so at some point it will no longer be possible.”

The child brings into play the season extension

Kind therefore brings an extension of the season at stake. “We can still go back,” says the businessman, but agreed with Seifert’s assessment that at some point a point would have been reached where a termination would also have to be considered. “It wouldn’t mean much to us, because hopefully we would be in a safe place at the table. At least then we would have planning security for the new season.”

Schneekloth: “He will play the end of the season”

However, the hope of a final with (great) horror has not yet died in German professional football.

“We have decided that we want to start the game again and Dresden will prepare as best as possible whenever possible. The games will be integrated into the game plan and then we will finish the season,” said Schneekloth.

However, it should come as no surprise when a season is canceled for the first time in Bundesliga history. And even if it is still possible to bring outstanding games to the stage, there are doubts about fairness and equal opportunity.
