On Saturday, Breel Embolo was on the pitch for 61 minutes in the 2-2 draw against VfB Stuttgart, just hours after the final whistle, the Gladbach forward is said to have participated in an illegal match, according to “Bild” . 23 people, 15 of them women in light clothing and eight men. No masks, no space. A scandal in the days of Corona!
Residents of the “Extrablatt” cafe on Lake Baldeney, near the city of Essen, alert the police around 2.30 am When officers arrive, music is blasting from the building, the windows are covered with red curtains , shishas and alcohol are around. Right in the middle: Breel Embolo.
Regular seat gone now?
Now it is threatened by difficulties. From the police, which can issue fines from 250 euros. And from your employer. He cancels him from the call-up for the match against Werder Bremen on Tuesday. Because he “may have violated the Crown Protection Ordinance,” as the colts report on their website. Embolo will only participate in team training again if he has negative corona tests.
The Embolo himself does not comment on the communication. What should I have said? What kicks in the shin after a strong season so far? That he, who wore the captain’s armband in the match against Hertha, is not a role model? Basler have scored three goals and three assists for the Colts this season, often playing in their preferred position in the center of attack. Alhassane Pléa will likely take on this role against Bremen. It’s possible that Embolo’s party will finally cost the regular seat.
Oberlin was already celebrating
The image damage would be even greater for the Bundesliga. In times of pandemic, it is not natural that you can play at all. Many criticize the special status of a company that makes billions and pays millions in wages. The head of the league, Christian Seifert, had said before the resumption that one was playing “on probation”: “I hope each individual lives up to his responsibility.” So far, the Bundesliga has largely gotten rid of negative headlines. Embolo is the exception.
Notable: In mid-December, Dimitri Oberlin, an old friend of Embolo, caused a stir with a similar case when he was seen at a party at a Zurich luxury hotel. Police intervention included. “Party-Zoff um Oberlin,” VIEW headlined at the time and reported that the FCB had parted ways with the forward for this reason.
A warning that apparently did not reach Embolo. (skr / leo)
