Hi, Kelly.

Well, yeah, we are having the first games again tomorrow.

We start with five games in the afternoon, one in the evening, and then we play till Monday evening when Bremen plays Leverkusen.

So, yeah, I think everybody's happy that the Bundesliga is back.

It took, I think, a lot of planning.

The logistics are not that easy.

But the DFL, the equivalent to the Premier League in England...

Yeah, presented a concept to the government.

They approved.

And, yeah, so far things are going pretty smoothly.

The lads are back in training, I think, for 10 to 14 days now.

And, yeah, everybody's looking forward to see the first game tomorrow.

Well, there's still quite a few people opposed to it.

I read a poll this morning that almost half the people think it's a bit too early.

But the matter of fact is that what we know now of the virus and what we've been going through over the last few weeks

that is probably not any safer in two weeks' time or six months' time than it is now.

And the new infected cases have been going back in Germany for the last three to four weeks.

That reproduction rate everybody's talking about now is below one for the best part of two or three weeks now.

So, I think the figures all show that, yeah, the restrictions are being eased in Germany.

Some of the states open schools again.
