Sport Like Bayern: Leverkusen applies for postponement of the cup

Bayer 04 Leverkusen has applied to the DFB to postpone its second round match in the DFB Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt to January - with reference to FC Bayern.

The record champions, who had an additional burden last summer due to the Champions League final tournament in August, had justified their already approved application with the high burden on their players in the club and national teams.

And with exactly the same arguments, the works club is now trying to straighten out the dates at the end of the year. After all, Bayer 04 also competed internationally in the Final 8 of the Europa League at the beginning of August.

The club is in talks with the DFB, it was said on Friday. "We hope that we will be granted what FC Bayern was entitled to, namely to play in January. We are relying on the fair play concept at the DFB," said press spokesman Dirk Mesch about the facts about which the "Sport-Bild" was the first to report.

Four days before Leverkusen meets Bayern in the league

The background to the Leverkusen concern is the constellation that Bayer 04 will receive Bayern four days before the Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt, which has been scheduled for December 23rd. For Munich this game will be the last in the current calendar year, while Leverkusen, as of now, still has a difficult cup game ahead of them.

Equal opportunities between Munich and Leverkusen, who are currently only separated by a counter in the table, would therefore not really exist. Given almost identical arguments, it would come as a surprise if the DFB rejected the application.
