 | The Wolfsburg captain: We will have a season like in England, they play there all the time18-07-2020 |
Bundesliga players do not have to complain about a busy schedule because of the coronavirus. Wolfsburg captain Joshua Gilavogi expressed this opinion.
Due to the pandemic, the 2019/20 season in the championship ended only at the end of June, and the next campaign will start in mid-September. For five teams, including Wolfsburg, the break between the two seasons will be very short, as in August are the playoffs in the Champions League and Europa League.
`We will have a season like in England. There is no winter break in the Premier League. They play there all the time. It may be a little strange for us, but nothing more, ` said the 29-year-old Frenchman.
`We in Germany have nothing to complain about. We managed to renew the season much earlier than in the other leading leagues. Now we have three weeks off and time to recover. I`m sure we will cope. I know some playersthey will say that the program is very busy, but we have the necessary depth in the lineup `, added Gilavogi.
In early August, Wolfsburg will face Shakhtar Donetsk in the round of 16 of the Europa League. In March, the Ukrainians took a good lead after a 2-1 victory away. After finishing seventh in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg will start the new season in the Europa League in the second preliminary round, which will take place on September 17.
