FC Bayern against Union Berlin - "I don't understand it at all": Müller and Goretzka joke about match cancellation
The snow chaos in southern Germany has also had an impact on the Bundesliga. FC Bayern Munich's home match against 1. FC Union Berlin, scheduled for 3.30 pm, cannot take place. FC Bayern players Thomas Müller and Leon Goretzka reacted to the cancellation with humor.
Müller posted a video on Instagram showing him shoveling snow. "Hello ladies and gentlemen, as so often on Saturday afternoons, we are in the right half lane. I don't understand at all why the game was canceled today. I don't know, but well, we all have to put up with it. It's incredibly snowy, I've rarely seen anything like it. Then we'll just clear the snow. Everyone stay injury-free and don't slip," said the 34-year-old. He hopes that the canceled game will be made up for "as soon as possible". He now wants to spend the afternoon off watching soccer on the couch. In a second video sequence, one of Müller and his wife Lisa's horses could be seen frolicking in the deep snow.
Müller's team-mate Leon Goretzka responded no less amusingly via Instagram. In his video, Goretzka trudged barefoot through the deep snow in the garden and fought the white with a standard salt shaker: "Don't know what all the fuss is about! @esmuellert 'schüpp' you go on," the 28-year-old wrote.
FC Bayern Munich announced the cancellation of the match on Saturday morning. "The reason is the extreme snowfall last evening and last night, an end is only forecast for Saturday evening. Even if it had been possible to get the pitch at the Allianz Arena in a condition that would have allowed the match to be played by the afternoon, safety risks and the traffic situation made a cancellation unavoidable," the statement read.
Roof avalanches in the Allianz Arena would represent an incalculable risk for spectators. In addition, access to the arena is hardly possible. "The Munich police recommend not leaving the buildings. Under these conditions, it is also not possible to guarantee that the law enforcement and security personnel required for the match can get into the Allianz Arena." It remains to be seen when the match will be rescheduled.
