The challenges of communication in German football

Football in Germany faces the challenge of improving communication between players and referees. The third division in particular shows that despite the presence of numerous former first division teams, such as Hansa Rostock and Alemannia Aachen, improvements are also necessary here. The Waldhof player Terrence Boyd recently advocated that open and honest communication between the players and the impartial is urgently needed.

vision of the third division

with 20 teams, including the second representatives of big clubs such as Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart, the third division is a place where there is a lot of potential. This league not only offers old traditional teams a platform, but also serves as a springboard for aspiring talents. In a press appointment, Boyd pointed out that the referees are often under pressure because they take part in a talent smith that also includes many young and inexperienced references.

The influence of the captain rule

An important topic is the regulation that players will have to communicate their concerns mainly via the captains in the future. Referee chief Florian Meyer believes that this measure, which has been successfully introduced to the European Championship, can help to raise communication to a new level. Boyd himself, however, is skeptical because he often has to react as a striker in situations.

financial challenges

Another dimension of the third division is your financial situation. The loss of the partner Bwin means that lower income is expected in the five -digit range. This situation could have long -term effects, not only on the clubs, but also on the entire league. It becomes clear that, despite its popularity, the third division is under financial pressure, which can lead to return to fewer spectators and smaller budgets.

missing video referee

The decision not to use the video referee (VAR) is perceived as positive by numerous fans. The third division stands for "authenticity and pure football", as Tom Eilers expressed. Despite this positive response, there are technical hurdles that make reliable VAR use more difficult. The camera cover is still not sufficient to clearly assess the decisions of the referees.

look into the future

While the third division offers a platform for many teams and players to achieve visibility, the challenges are still great. Democracies in communicative cooperation between players and referees are crucial for a positive development. It remains to be seen how the dynamics will develop in the coming season.
