Because you start your trip to Basel by plane, the German team gets a shit storm from their own fans before the game against Switzerland.
It must be recognized that the German team does not have much time to recover after the opening match of the Nations League last Thursday against Spain (1-1). The duel with Switzerland already awaits him in Basel on Sunday. So much the better, the journey from Stuttgart is comparatively short at 180 kilometers in a straight line. The distance can be covered in just over two and a half hours by car.
The DFB, however, decides to take the plane ride and thus sets itself apart from its own fans. Don’t you care about the weather? Sorry, but no one can support that. I cannot watch the game with a clear conscience and will not watch it again until the DFB makes a full carbon offset, ”commented one user in a corresponding Twitter post.
“Climate ignorance can hardly be more clearly demonstrated”
Another follower writes: “You don’t even know what’s worse: that 1) such a flight exists, that 2) the DFB management reserves the flight, that 3) all the players fly well or that 4) the PR Department proudly displays this shit in a photo series (or was it subversive?) »
In a later comment, one user said: “This route is very easy to travel by train / bus. Especially since the bus goes anyway. His climate ignorance can hardly be more clearly demonstrated. “Others remind him that the team bus can drive empty to Basel to pick up the team at the airport.” The bus then took the route of its suitcases, but with empty seats. a follower writes, and another follower demands with a wink: “You should be ashamed of your flight.”
Even a sponsorship deal is suspected
The role of role model of the DFB front men is also questioned several times. A user named Vincent Portanova writes: «Are you behind the moon too? Fly short distances when the bus is faster and cheaper … Destroy our future. “
Another user even suspects that the DFB had no other choice: “Lufthansa is also a sponsor of the DFB and they are probably contractually bound to fly.”
Despite the harsh criticism, coach Jogi Löw’s team can probably win back the hearts of numerous fans tonight. But for that you need an away win against Switzerland. The start at St. Jakob-Park is at 8.45 pm
