Zork: The Premier League and La Liga are far ahead in economic terms, and only Bayern can compete in the Bundesliga

Live Bar February 3, Dürt Sports Director Zolk recently gave an interview to "Kicker", in which he talked about the epidemic and the financial impact of Germany's epidemic prevention measures on Bundesliga teams, he bluntly said that only Bayern has been able to compete economically with the far leading Premier League and La Liga teams.

Germany still imposes restrictions on the number of people entering major sporting events or requires complete empty stadiums, to which Zork said: "We now have these restrictions and we are currently surviving without real ticket revenue. Abroad, their stadiums are significantly more full, which has put German clubs at a disadvantage financially. ”

Zorck: "If we make 4 million euros less in revenue at every home, that adds up to a lot. Beyond that, we've been severely affected by COVID-19 in two fiscal years. "In the winter transfer window that was just closed, Dortmund did not make reinforcements.

The Bundesliga is in danger of not being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other major leagues, with Zork saying: "I have the impression that England and Spain are far ahead in the European-wide competition and only Bayern can compete with them economically. There is also more investment in Ligue 1 and Serie A than in the Bundesliga, and Zolke admits that "this is not a new development".

In Zork's view, the COVID-19 pandemic has done a great deal of damage to the Bundesliga because it involves the most fundamental issue: "German clubs have always defined themselves through a somewhat different path, and this path has shaped economic stability. But the COVID-19 pandemic is now hitting and it's a fact that most clubs are currently in a bad financial situation. ”
