According to the manager, he thinks it’s great “that RB Leipzig was able to develop like this with the help of an investor. One should respect that the people of Leipzig are proud of the development of RB Leipzig. They are proud that they have a club in the East that plays in the Bundesliga and beyond.”
Fan representative: “Rasen Ballsport Leipzig is definitely not an Eastern club”
Then the fan representatives interrupt him. “The stadium is not full, they have been there for nine years and say we will soon have a tradition,” notes Nico Heymer. According to Kind, however, the stadium was always full when he was there: “I don’t know what games you saw,” he notes. According to the other fan representatives, the stadium is never full. And Thomas Kessen adds: “If we just state briefly: Rasen Ballsport Leipzig is definitely not an Eastern club.”
Klamroth: “We’ll find out tomorrow whether there are fans in the stadium”
Then Louis Klamroth finally ends the debate: “Whether there are fans in the stadium and how many, we will of course clarify that tomorrow at ‘Hard but fair to go’. But I want to go back to it with you now, because we have talked about investments and new target groups, and look at a few projects that are intended to open up new target groups.”
Although the discussion about the Leipzig club had just gained momentum, it was over. Klamroth opened a new range of topics with indoor football leagues such as the Spanish “Kings League” and the German “Ballers League”.
