Berlin / Frankfurt (dpa / lhe) - Another interruption due to a lockdown would hit professional football hard from the point of view of Eintracht Frankfurt's sports director Fredi Bobic.
"It is particularly about the economic compensation in relation to the TV contract and also to the framework calendar, which is already full," said Bobic in a joint interview with Gladbach's sports director Max Eberl in the "Welt am Sonntag".
Looking at the economic situation caused by the corona pandemic, Bobic said everyone understood what it was about.
“We have to free ourselves from public pressure and we mustn't let ourselves drift when it comes to sporting success, as some clubs have done,” said the 49-year-old.
Eberl advocated "that we should all pull ourselves together and accept the ghost games that enable gaming in order to be competitive at the time X".
There will be no alienation.
“But maybe a few topics will change at the clubs, maybe one or the other is no longer defined only by success, but also by topics such as sustainability or climate protection,” said the 47-year-old.
"We hope that we can continue to play, and so far have not heard any signals from politics that it is different," he said on Saturday evening in the ZDF's "Current Sports Studio".

Eberl certified the German Football League that she ensures good cooperation.
"I believe that the DFL is showing how it can work," said Gladbach's manager.
He asked the German Football Association to exude calm.
Bobic criticized the association more clearly: "Everything that has nothing to do with the sporting area is unfortunately currently a fiasco."
Perhaps the whole issue needs to be approached structurally.
"Ultimately, only the presidents have been exchanged at the DFB in recent years, and the same people have survived various crises," said Bobic.
