The “Tour de France” in Spanish: Why was that fanatical march in Leipzig a failure?
The “Tour de France” in Spanish: Why the fan march in Leipzig failed On the eve of the final round of the League of Conferences, it was supposed to be a huge fan march in Leipzig. However, reality turned out to be much more subdued. Fans of Crystal Palace and Real Valladolid tried to organize their own “Tour de France”. But the effort quickly died down. Instead of the expected fan march, there was a weak and small-scale event, which was managed by the police without much effort. The Spanish teams clearly overestimated the logistics and the ability to carry out long-distance marches. The English fans preferred to focus on the stands. The city handled the guests with a strict but controlled order, leaving the final without the usual pre-match excitement.
