The German championship resumes this coming weekend. And the day before, German clubs continued to compete in the National Cup. And immediately Bayern, which finished the first round of the Bundesliga championship in only second place, made it clear that it had thoroughly prepared for the second part of the season. A fairly strong Stuttgart was defeated at home - 1:5. “This is a little warning to our competitors about what our intentions are. We can even speed up the pace even more. The team is perfectly prepared for the next four months,” said Bavarian head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
Among the other results, it is worth highlighting the victory of Hamburg, for which former army player Ivica Olic scored three goals.
RFB is fighting the crisis
At a meeting of the bureau of the executive committee of the Russian Basketball Federation, a package of anti-crisis measures was adopted, the official website of the RBF reports. At the request of the clubs, taking into account the economic situation, fines for a number of articles of the regulations of the Russian Championship and the Super League were canceled. In addition, the system for holding the youth championship has undergone changes. The teams that took places from 5th to 10th in the regular season will not play in a circle at the second stage, as previously planned, but will play two rounds in two cities.
During the meeting, attention was paid to the issue related to the regulation of the activities of basketball agents. According to the current regulations, agents representing the interests of players have the right to receive remuneration for a completed transfer to a Russian club only from the players, and not from both parties at once - the player and the club. In this regard, a system of penalties will be developed for violators of the provisions “On regulation of the activities of players’ agents.”
