Rudi Völler asks Joshua Kimmich to vaccinate

Bayer Leverkusen’s managing director Rudi Völler asked Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich to get vaccinated.

“I still think that people should be convinced based on the arguments that are there and that are really good. You have the feeling that Joshua Kimmich, if he is vaccinated now, through the public Pressure has dropped. It doesn’t have to be. You are then – I think – a great boy, a great person, a hero if you let it be done anyway. Even if one or the other now writes: Oh, now it is he fell over after all, “said Völler image.

Völler would also “not defend himself” against a general vaccination requirement, but in principle one should “convince people differently”, he explained.

At Leverkusen, the entire management team and the support team have been vaccinated. “I can say that we have a 100 percent quota in our management and in our supervisor area. Not everyone was happy at the beginning, they asked. Of course you have to try to convince with arguments,” he added the end.

Kimmich declared two weeks ago that he was not vaccinated and was subsequently criticized for it from innumerable sources.
