He Borussia Dortmund It is one of the second-tier European teams that has been doing things very well for years, especially with regard to its fans, but that, however, receives criticism from fans for what they understand as a lack of ambition.
In fact, the data shows this because in recent years footballers of the caliber of Haaland either Bellingham and none of them have been retained by the club, which has also not wrested the league title from Bayern since 2012.
So, Carsten Cramer, the CEO of the club, gave an interview to ‘NZZ’ where he talked about all this. “I ask the fans to trust us a little. We have ambitions and we don’t just want to reach the round of 16 of the Champions League. Success also has to do with economic performance,” he began by saying.
And certainly that, the economic bloc, was the main subject of his speech where he assured that they will not “do sponsorships with money coming from Saudi Arabia or Qatar” or that the club is committed to offering Champions League ticket to the famous Yellow Wall, where the fans stand, for a fixed price of 15 euros.
But above all, his most emphatic statement concerns the near horizon of football, the new format of the Champions League and the now distant creation of the Super League, which the club strongly opposes. “Football has a lot to do with culture and rituals. With tradition. With history. In Formula 1 there is less looking back. Cars must take the next step in comfort. Football is more of a slowing down element. However, we have to grow. In the end our competitor is not Real Madrid, but Netflix. Or another leisure activity. We have to make sure that the new generation remains interested in football,” he commented.
