Rummenigge: Players need high salaries and don’t want to play more games, there is nothing wrong with the Club World Cup!

Rumenig was interviewed by "Kickers" a few days ago, and he was very annoyed by the outside world's criticism of the Club World Cup.

Rumenig said: "As a player, I would be happy to participate in such a competition. Of course, due to the Club World Cup, the number of games has increased, but it must be stated that this event is only held every four years."

Rumenig commented angrily against Germany's opposition: "I don't surprise me again as a 'critic of the world champion'."

"This event has brought me a lot of fun, and I have watched almost all the competitions. For example, Bayern Munich's jersey sales in the United States have increased by seven times, which is also the positive impact of the event."

The former CEO of Bayern emphasized that it is impossible to do without these new events now. Maintenance: "Many players - together with their agents - have created this situation and set traps themselves. They demand higher and higher salaries, forcing the club to open up new sources of income. Therefore, new forms of events have been created, and on the other hand, I can't see their willingness to cut their salaries. This is a contradiction and should be pointed out clearly."

Rummenigge also pointed out that the Federation Cup has been cancelled as a exchange for the Club World Cup: "Otherwise many of our internationals will participate in the Federation Cup in the United States, which is worthless to the club. Now Bayern can show itself on the world stage, win new fans and gain financial benefits. It is worthwhile to look far."
