His expectations for the restart of the season in the Bundesliga with the “WG” shared the famous commentator “Match TV”, one of the best experts in Russia for the German football Roman Naguchev.
How justified that season in the Bundesliga resumes now and not, say, a week, as proposed by the same “Bremen”?
Roman Naguchev: Against the restart were back and “Mainz”. Mainly the resumption of the season didn’t want the team fighting for survival. By the way, this applies not only to the Bundesliga. I think the German football Association and the League are watching to see how the situation develops with the coronavirus. Unlikely they would have decided, not having considered all the risks. But first, the League wanted to avoid the horrific losses that could be in the event of early termination of the season.
mean monetary loss?
Roman Naguchev: of Course. Due to the lack of money celepram may cease to exist at least three clubs of the first Bundesliga, and seven to the second and third. It will be a big blow for German football, which has long sought stability, financial well-being. Largely due to this they became world Champions.
And still: how to resume the season if some teams recently identified cases of infection? Take the “Cologne”.
Roman Naguchev: So the most interesting that “Cologne” advocated the continuation of the championship. Although, if I’m not mistaken, there were three cases of infection. But the club has assured the leadership of the League in compliance with all safety regulations.
And all of these restrictions such as a ban on handshakes, joint celebrations, will not affect the attractiveness of the game?
Roman Naguchev: In this case we are talking about health. But I, frankly, some points are not clear. Don’t see the logic that it is impossible to shake hands before the game. Not together to celebrate a goal, but at the same time, usually during corner kicks and is a tough fight, the players are constantly in contact, fall, hug. If it is allowed within a half hour, why not shake hands? Maybe you just want to minimize the number of contacts. Now while there are first steps that it is not clear how to do it. The players will be like a minefield – I will try at first to carefully test the waters, and then boldly go on. Don’t know how long it is, but for the first time football will be very strange.
it is Difficult to predict who will win the Bundesliga? Training of the teams, in fact, was not. Only a week to train.
Roman Naguchev: This is not true. For example, “Bavaria” for a month as he trains: with their programs, on the basis, with appropriate distances between players and coaches. Everything was observed. Turns out they earlyabove all came out of quarantine. And I think they are the best ready for the resumption of the season. I don’t know how it will look. I wonder what awaits us. We used to high speeds in the Bundesliga, pressure, tactical innovations. But it’ll be now – for all the surprise. More interesting.
