Football professionals are not only living in their own world due to the corona pandemic. But there are also exceptions like Florian Niederlechner from FC Augsburg. A comment by Robert Gasser.
The debate was intensified by the Corona crisis and can no longer be stopped: How far can professional football move away from its fans without suffering permanent damage?
While millions of employees across Germany were sent on short-time work during the corona pandemic and suffered significant wage losses as a result, the football professionals continue to collect salaries in dizzying and long unexplainable amounts (which of course also applies to many other sectors in the entertainment business) .
The fan soul is happy about guys like Florian Niederlechner
In addition, stories are published again and again that the fan can no longer understand. For example, when the football millionaires have so-called star hairdressers flown into the training camp - and thus violate all corona rules.
The fan soul is happy about players like Florian Niederlechner from FC Augsburg, who used to play for FC Ismaning and SpVgg Unterhaching. Niederlechner has never lost contact with the grassroots and it can be relieved when he says: “I love amateur football.” So there are still such professionals.
