Die Roten chairman urged the Italian Serie A to follow the lead of German League, stating that a country’s footballing structure determines how the league will fare in Europe.
Bayern Munich chief executive, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has suggested that Italian League should follow the pattern of Bundesliga clubs in order to be successful financially. He insisted that the level of the Serie A has worsened
over the last couple of years due to lack of investment and money available to the teams.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 sign for
French club Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window as they could not afford their wages.
Rummenigge claimed that the Italian League is under threat from the financial aspect, but is hoping they will cope up and deal with the problem. Moreover, he said that the stadiums in Germany are always packed because they offer
their fans cheap tickets and do not exploit them in order to increase the revenue.
"Italian football is in trouble, but I'm sure they will be able to manage this crisis," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 striker was quoted as saying in an interview.

"German stadiums are always full because we implement a social policy to keep our tickets affordable to the poor, being as low as €7 with Bayern,” he mused.
Furthermore, the board member maintained that Italian officials should understand that they have to build new and fancy stadiums to attract people into watching the matches. He stated Bayern Munich’s home ground, the Allianz Arena
is a perfect example as it is a modern stadium.

"The international success of the Allianz Arena [Bayern Munich's home ground] suggest municipalities in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 must understand the importance of modern stadiums for public football,” he finally concluded.
Italian giants’ Juventus could not sell out their stadium on its induction into the UEFA Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk because of high ticket prices. AC Milan and Inter also have fewer season ticket holders now.
