Borussia director: 'Rich England won't win anything for 25 years'
“England’s national team hasn’t won a title in fifty years, and I’m sure they’ll get to 75,” Hans-Joachim Watzke said an event in Germany.
“Why? Because money often brings about a lack of creativity. England only has one team in the Champions League quarter-finals, and that’s Leicester. They surely aren’t a cert to win the title”.
Germany has two teams in the Champions League final eight, and has more titles in the last few years, even managing a recent all-Bundesliga final between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, the latter reaching three straight UCL quarter-finals in a row.
This comment mustn’t be taken as a provocation: Franz Beckenbauer has used similar tones, but is known to be an Anglophile and someone who has the good of the sport at heart.
