Despite the next victory in the Euroleague, there is excitement among Bayern’s basketball players. Trainer Gordon Herber shows a lack of understanding for the schedule of the local league.
Actually, at Bayern basketball, all players and those responsible would have to be completely satisfied after the renewed gala against Partizan Belgrade and the safe qualification for the play-ins of Euroleague, but a change of game plan on the part of the basketball Bundesliga (BBL) causes trouble in Munich.
The league moved the game from Sunday to Saturday next weekend. “Our goal is to reach the top six in Euroleague. Unfortunately we have a game in Würzburg Saturday,” said Bayern coach Gordon Herbert at the press conference.
Gordon Herbert is annoyed by the BBL schedule
“That really surprised me. I thought that the game was actually on Sunday. I really don’t know why the league is putting the game, especially when we have a double-Week,” said Herbert and then showed his lack of understanding of the new schedule: “In other countries it is different. The clubs get more time to relax and it is trying to get a little more peace after an exhausting double. Sure why you do it here. “
Herbert is actually not wrong. In many European leagues, the schedule is adapted to the needs of the clubs before important international games. During the Euroleague playoffs, games have been completely canceled in recent years and postponed to another time.
Herbert: “We will make a wine tasting instead of training”
There is no such exception for Bayern in the BBL. “So we go to Würzburg on Saturday. We will make a wine tasting instead of training in the evening,” Herbert Lachend announced with a wink.
Bayern star Carsen Edwards, on the other hand, wanted to tackle the narrow schedule of Sport1 a bit pragmatic: “Hm, I don’t know. We’ll get it. First of all, I try to make it until Friday. At the moment I just see that I can do it every day. So first until tomorrow and then I think about the game on Saturday. We already find one way.”
BBL schedule has already provided massive Bayern annoys
After the victory in the Euroleague against Paris on the fourth matchday, Pesic had talked to Rage at the time: “We are not a sow that is driven through the village. This is an absolute cheek. We said that it doesn’t work. We have a double week. I will not be there because I have no respect for what the BBL does with us.”

At that time, FCBB had to compete in Weißenfels even on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. The game in Würzburg only starts this time at 8 p.m. and the journey to Franconia is significantly shorter than after Saxony-Anhalt.
