The Europa League in Germany, the Champions League in Portugal. UEFA hits on 17. June ground-breaking decisions. Still many questions are open – a relates to, among other things, two German national players.
Nyon (AP) – lightning tournaments in the Champions League and Europa League, the latter in Germany, the possible reallocation of the EM-Games, as well as sensitive contractual issues that also affect national player Timo Werner.
The jumble of open questions and problems demanded by the creators of the European football Union the day before everything. In internal discussions the decision were discussed versions for the groundbreaking video unlock of the Executive Committee. In Munich, a but remained completely relaxed.
“We’ll just have to see to it that we make the Best out of the Situation,” said Hansi Flick before and spoke of a “very special time and Situation”. Like several other Clubs and all federations in Europe, FC Bayern will look with his Trainer to Nyon, where UEFA wants to lashing after week-long discussions, the appointment calendar to the Corona through the crisis. The German football plays a Central role.
Several media reports, in North Rhine-Westphalia, the outstanding K. o.-duels of the Europa League, at the latest, as from the quarter-finals, and only in one game. Possible venues are Cologne, according to Italian reports, as the host of the finale, also in Düsseldorf, Gelsenkirchen and Duisburg. The Final 8 tournament, could of 10. 21. August rise. As in the Champions League eighth-final games are before. From Germany in Eintracht Frankfurt, VfL Wolfsburg (both after the first leg are defeats) and Bayer Leverkusen.
The blitz tournament of the king class, which is expected to Lisbon, Frankfurt am Main, had shown interest. As the day of the final is, as, among other things, the “image”newspaper reported, the 23. August advised. The eighth-final second leg of the Bayern against Chelsea (first leg: 3:0) is supposed to take place as planned in Munich. RB Leipzig is already in the quarter-finals. The Corona-pandemic leads, curiously, to the fact that in Lisbon a kind of Superleague, plays over the introduction again and again, fiercely fighting had been.
All associations, whether in Germany, the German football Association and German football League, or in Europe, the UEFA must “see to it that you will all meet. And that’s not always quite so easy,” said Flick, the expressed from Bayern point of view, calmly: “I know the tournament very well.” Will also advise on whether Istanbul, where the final match of this season would have to be held, will be compensated with a new appointment and whether this has an impact on the already to Munich awarded the finals in 2022.
the decision is Complicated for the UEFA which players of the tournaments may be in the case of the Mini in the process. The world body FIFA had recommended, in the case of Transfers to the old Clubs as a matter of priority to at least the national leagues complete. The “image”newspaper reported, Timo Werner will play in the Bundesliga until the end of June for Leipzig, but immediately to Chelsea switch. At Bayern will continue to be speculated about Leroy Sané from Manchester City as a new arrival. The eligibility for the new Stars in Lisbon would be odd – but not entirely excluded.
How to do it after the final is open. Yet at the beginning of September directly to the first two match days in the Nations League on the program. The DFB-Team. after a month-long break at the 3 September, against Spain, and three days later in Switzerland to compete. Priority but should have the Playoffs to the EM, which is why the Nations League could Start in the autumn pushed. To the qualification 16 teams in twelve outstanding games for four EM-participants are involved.
For the period from 11. Of June to the 11. July 2021 suspended final tournament must confirm to the UEFA to the host cities. Whether all the twelve remain, is questionable. While in Munich, where three group games and a quarter-final, his commitment already publicly made, applies, for example, of Bilbao as a shaky candidate. Uncertain also the game places Rome and Baku seem to be.
“nine cities, everything is regulated,” said UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin. The Plan with twelve stages still stand by, if necessary, would do, but also “ten, nine or eight”. A possible Bonus for Munich: The Allianz Arena would be a candidate, lots of elimination to take over the game locations.
