Söder's cancellation: Terrorial attack stops football premiere before a decisive game

Nürnberg, Deutschland - A political comeback on the soccer field is denied Marcus Söder. The CSU chief and Bavarian Prime Minister had planned to accompany the second division game between the 1st FC Nürnberg and Eintracht Braunschweig as a co-commentator. But the attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg, in which over 200 people were injured and five people died, overshadowed the pre -Christmas sporting event and prompted Söder to cancel his appearance, like Ruhr24 reported .

The decision came at short notice because Söder, who is a passionate fan of FC Nürnberg, originally wanted to make his debut as a commentator at Sport1. Instead, the game is now held under a sign. The 1. FC Nürnberg, who has been waiting for a win for seven games, is under immense pressure to escape from the relegation zone. Eintracht Braunschweig is also in crisis because the team has not scored a goal in the last three matches, and is currently in the last place in the table, like Infranken reported .

difficult times for the FCN

For FC Nürnberg, the meeting is classified as a crisis summit. The young coach Miroslav Klose's team is faced with considerable personal problems, and it remains to be seen whether they can withstand pressure. Another setback could result in relegation to the third division, which presents the entire team with challenges.
