Effenberg: Bayern have the best squad and want to break their dominance in the Bundesliga to bring in the playoffs

Livestream on 21 December After the last round of the bundesliga first half last weekend, Bayern are already nine points ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund in the table. Former Bayern captain Effenberg spoke in a sport1 column about Bayern's strength and said only a bundesliga format reform would make it possible for other teams to win the title.

In the column, Effenberg directly congratulated Bayern on locking up the Bundesliga title for ten consecutive titles, saying that it would make Bayern's dominance more obvious, saying bluntly: "If Müller, Levan and Neuer leave at the same time, there will be a chance to beat Bayern." Until then it was difficult. ”

In Effenberg's view, one of the main reasons is that "Bayern have the best central axis", Effenberg bluntly said that the central axis of Neuer, Goretzka, Kimmich, Müller and Levan is not available to Dortmund, and he also pointed out that Dort's defense is bad: "Dort always wants to have a strong attack, and they do have it, but a team can also win the championship through excellent defense. ”

As for the composition of the team, Effenberg also talked about another point: "Bayern have the ability to retain important players, while in other teams there is no such possibility. Nkunku will leave Leipzig and Haaland will leave Dort. In terms of pitch, environment and opportunities, Bayern's only strong rival should be Hamburg. But Hamburg are now playing in another league. ”

How can other bundesliga teams have a chance to win? Effenberg proposed: "Due to Bayern's dominance, it is worth considering that the Bundesliga adopts another model: the playoff model has a cup-playing character. Bayern are out of the DFB-Pokal this year and last year. ”

"You can increase the number of teams in the league to 20, and then for example the best 6 teams go into the playoffs and they go to compete for the Bundesliga title. You can't drive Bayern off the top before that. ”
