Rummenigge bangs: players should stop whining!

München, Deutschland - Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the former boss of FC Bayern Munich, has clearly commented against the complaints of the players about the high number of games. In an interview with Sport Bild he asks the football professionals to wail and argues that the increasing salaries of the players can only be financially covered by an increased number of games. In the current season, Bayern are required in numerous competitions, including Bundesliga, DFB Cup and Champions League, and in summer the FIFA club World Cup is also on the program!

player under pressure: burden or higher income?

The game calendar of FC Bayern, which doesn't seem to end, ensures noticeable exhaustion among the players. But Rummenigge sees no problem in the high burden: "All contract negotiations that I have witnessed with us always go in one direction: higher, and further, and faster. But all the money has to come from somewhere," said the 69-year-old. This constant performance adjustment is necessary to justify the high salaries that the players demand. Rummenigge even proposes a salary limit to minimize the envy factor in the team.

The FIFA Club World Cup, which will take place in the USA next summer, will bring additional hardships because Bayern will play a considerable premium. While stars like Jamal Musiala are fighting with injuries and diseases, the question remains open how the association should overcome these additional requirements. Rummenigge also criticizes the players and their agents, who are making increasing demands, while the DFL has just reached an increase in TV revenue by two percent, such as tz.de reported. The pressure on players and clubs has grown noticeably! Rummenigge clearly communicates the feeling of impending financial ruins in football: "We all drive on a wall - and nobody is ready to go off the gas."
