The Bundesliga

The Bundesliga 2010/2011 was really interesting in many ways. In other words, it was the year of the underdogs and a catastrophic year for the top clubs of the Bundesliga. Mainz 05 and Hannover 96 were the clubs that rendered all the experts speechless. At the beginning, all the experts expected these teams in the lower part of the table. However, these teams represented a tough competition for the other teams. Hannover almost took Bayern Muenchen the Champions League place away, which would have certainly been a desaster for the spoiled players of Bayern Muenchen. Schalke 04, Werder Bremen and the VFB Stuttgart played an really bad season, which was mainly marked by the poor defence and the incosistent performances.

In general, the Bundesliga can be really satisfied with Schalke 04, because thez played an excellent season in the Champions League and contributed to the additional 4th place in the Champions League. Italy is now only forth in the five-years evaluation and Germany took over its 3rd place. In the season 2012/2013, the Bundesliga can send an additional team to the Champions League. This is a great thing for the Bundesliga and also substantiates the fact that money isn not everything. The Italian teams have much more money available and did not manage to keep its place. This is also one of the things, that makes the Bundesliga attractive and interesting to the people. The salary of an average player in the Primera Divison or in the Premier League is much higher compared to the Bundesliga. Most of the Premier League clubs are on the edge of getting bankrupt, because their expenses are much higher than the incomes of the club. The Bundesliga has more realistic salary patterns and the clubs do not risk so much. That is whz, I see the Bundesliga as a league of great future and that it has the potential to be the best one in the world.
