If you don't understand, ask why there are so many "factories" in Bundesliga.

After the unification of East and West Germany, there were 20 teams in the first Bundesliga (199 1/92).

1990, the Berlin Wall fell, East and West Germany were unified, and East and West Germany football was also unified. With the joining of two East German teams-Rostock and Dresden, the Bundesliga expanded to 20 teams in 199 1/92 season. But after this season, the Bundesliga has returned to the scale of 18 teams.

Pictorial has just conducted a poll on Bundesliga players. Less than 20% are worried about unemployment, and less than half support salary reduction and army expansion. Players who play more games with less pay should not want to be such a big head.

In this regard, beckenbauer expressed firm opposition, saying that "18 is already a very ideal number". Meanwhile, beckenbauer opposes the extra championship finals. He pointed out that the current Bundesliga competition system is very ideal and the championship competition is very fierce. "Under the present system, the champion cannot be won by luck."

From 18 Town King to 20 Heroes, once the Bundesliga officially completed the expansion, the first change was the increase in the income of each club. For the Bundesliga team in financial crisis due to the bankruptcy of Kirsch Media Group, this expansion

It means that the number of Bundesliga rounds will increase from 34 to 38, so each team will have two more opportunities to sell tickets at home and four more opportunities to get TV broadcast income. The club doesn't need to invest more in players' salaries, which is obviously a worthwhile deal. It is no wonder that most of the voices supporting expansion this time come from small and medium-sized teams that are already stretched. For these clubs, another advantage of the expansion is undoubtedly to reduce the possibility of their demotion.

However, the harm caused by the expansion of the army is also obvious. Increasing the number of league matches will not only bring more income, but also mean that players will become more tired in a more intensive schedule, especially those strong teams who often need to fight on two fronts. More domestic leagues may also weaken their fighting capacity and attention in European competitions. It is worth mentioning when these extra leagues will be arranged. At present, the schedule of the Bundesliga team has been filled by leagues, cups and European events. If you add four leagues at once, the only thing you can think about is the six-week winter break at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. However, the reason why special rest periods are arranged at this time is the decision made by policy makers based on various scientific arguments such as the cold weather in Germany and sports physiology. If we cancel or shorten the winter break now, it will undoubtedly increase the probability of players being injured during this period. Moreover, for the Bundesliga team whose signing strategy is gradually globalized, such cold weather is obviously like hell for the South American "foreign aid" in their team. In the long run, the attractiveness of the Bundesliga to excellent players may also decline day by day.
