“Contrary to all basic values”: Espen fans are furious about the test match against Leipzig

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

During the training camp in Spain (January 4 to 13), FC St. Gallen has a friendly match against RB Leipzig scheduled. This really upsets Espen fans.

“We immediately call on those responsible at FC St. Gallen to cancel this test match,” the Espenblock wrote in a statement. The supporters justify the demand with the general distaste for the ‘construction’ of the Red Bull Group.

There are structures “that, for example in the form of an almost closed circle of members within the parent club, not only insidiously circumvent the right to participation, but fundamentally violate fundamental democratic values.” Moreover, they would not hesitate to displace or destroy traditional clubs (Leipzig) or destroy (Salzburg).

Principles would be thrown overboard

During the summer preparations we set up camp at regional clubs and provided training. This demonstrated the values ​​of tradition, accessibility and transparency. It is therefore very surprising that “all political principles of the club are thrown overboard” by wanting to hold this friendly match.

You can make friends with players on loan from the RB empire and understand players who want to develop further from a sporting perspective. But nothing more. “A voluntarily conducted competition against the construct that misuses the enthusiasm of football solely as a means to achieve an overarching, multi-sport and sales-oriented marketing strategy contradicts all the basic values ​​that we as football fans represent.”

Fans also share their disgust for the Bundesliga club and the company behind it on Instagram. There they publish a photo series – in each of the photos you will see a banner: “No football with Red Bull.” (ch)
