A few days before his last day as managing director of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Rudi Völler chatted about the development of German football. Especially compared to other sports such as American football, this must be protected.
Soccer instead of football: Shortly before the end of his career as Bayer Leverkusen’s managing director, Rudi Völler comments on soccer in Germany in the “WAZ”. In general, it is “still of enormous importance” and must be protected, for him personally, especially with regard to competitive sports such as American football. He saw the Super Bowl with “his boys” but found it “cruel” except for the halftime show with Jennifer Lopez.
Everything as always: Völler emphasizes that football is generally “made worse than it is”. For example, the 1990 World Champion had no feeling that the storming of the pitches in Cologne or Schalke “were against football” or that the spectators weren’t coming. “The opposite is the case,” said the ex-national coach, “the stadiums are full.”
Farewell today: Völler is saying farewell after 21 years in various roles at Bayer Leverkusen. The 62-year-old is celebrated as a club legend due to his activities at the Bundesliga club as a player, coach and manager.
