Bundesliga-klub appellerer til Premier League-fans: I holde med os

Mens Premier League-sæsonen stadigvæk er suspenderet på grund af coronavirussen, starter Bundesligaen op i weekenden, og da der ikke er andet bold i fjernsynet, vil mange Premier League-fans nok også følge den tyske liga ekstra nøje. 

Den bedste tyske række er da også altid garant for mål, underholdning og spænding, men hvilken af de 20 klubber skal man egentlig have sympati for? 

I Schalke 04 er de ikke i tvivl om, at samtlige Premier League-fans bør støtte dem, og i en lang tråd på Twitter har de argumenteret, hvorfor fans af hver enkelt Premier League-klub skal støtte dem i den resterende del af sæsonen.

De skriver blandt andet, at Arsenal-fans bør støtte dem, da Mesut Özil og Sead Kolasinac har spillet i klubben, mens Southampton-fans også opfordres til at holde med dem, da begge klubber har et fantastisk akademi. 

Det er ikke argumenter, der er lige gode, men Schalke 04 skal have point for at finde frem til mindst ét argument for hver Premier League-klub. 

Du kan læse alle argumenterne herunder.

CALLING ALL @premierleague FANS

We have a reason for fans of EVERY PL club to support FC Schalke 04 for the remainder of the Bundesliga season!

@Arsenal

Not one, but two former Royal Blues are currently playing at the Emirates

Assist king and local lad Mesut Özil came through the ranks here in Gelsenkirchen, while rock-hard Sead Kolasinac was a fan favourite during his six years in Royal Blue! #S04 pic.twitter.com/uyHYLq1QxG

Named in Kicker’s Team of the Season twice at Schalke, and a Premier League winner with Leicester, @FuchsOfficial’s former club is the one for you, Foxes! #S04 pic.twitter.com/GgVhd58SLE

@LFC

A DFB-Pokal winner with Schalke, and a Champions League winner with the Reds, Joel Matip’s ex-club are definitely worth watching with no Premier League on.

And about your coach…We may not like him, but our current coach David Wagner is his best friend. #S04 pic.twitter.com/kskVGo870I
