Before the official opening of the Bundesliga, various German media have also announced their assessment of the team's strength and ranking predictions for the new season.
Although the Bundesliga championship has been won by Dortmund in the past two seasons, the vast majority of media still regard Bayern Munich as the favorite to win the Bundesliga championship this season.
This is mainly because Bayern's performance as the "King of Sanya" last season was actually not too bad, and this season Xia Chuang has made crazy reinforcements, further improving its strength.
He bought Croatian striker Mandzukic from Wolfsburg for 13 million, Swiss international Shaqiri from Basel for 11.8 million, Brazilian defender Dante from Monchengladbach for 4.7 million, and Werder Bremen on a visa-free basis.
Peruvian striker Pizarro...
Of course, the most important thing is to buy midfielder Javi Martinez from Athletic Bilbao for 40 million, which makes Bayern's lineup more complete in the new season.
As for Bayern's main competitor, Dortmund, although they also purchased "little rocket" Royce from Monchengladbach for 17.1 million euros, they also took away a Bundesliga MVP-level main player like Shinji Kagawa, which cannot be said to be worthy of strength.
Is it increasing or decreasing.
One side is almost holding its troops on hold, while the other side is aggressively increasing its troops. Naturally, the media will be more optimistic about Bayern.
In addition to the top two, Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke 04, two traditional Bundesliga teams, ranked third and fourth respectively.
Monchengladbach, which has lost many generals this season, is considered to be a skinny camel bigger than a horse, so it can still be ranked fifth.
Ranked sixth is Stuttgart.
In terms of relegated teams, among the three teams Fürth, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Dusseldorf, which just came out of the Bundesliga last season, Fürth and Dusseldorf are considered to be unable to adapt to the Bundesliga.
Rhythm, dropped back to Bundesliga 2.
Frankfurt is favored.
They bought eight players in the summer window, including many outstanding rookies such as Gan Guishi and Trapp. Therefore, many media believe that Frankfurt can not only stay in the Bundesliga, but may even move higher in the rankings.
So, which team will replace Frankfurt and fall to the Bundesliga 2 together with Fürth and Dusseldorf?
The answer is hamburger.
Hamburg, which barely avoided relegation last season, made a large-scale signing in the summer window, but it seems that it cannot make up for the strength vacuum left by the departure of the main players in the team.
It can also be seen from the warm-up matches and the first round of the German Cup that Hamburg has not become stronger.
In particular, the defeat by Karlsruhe, a German third-division team, in the German Cup further reduced Hamburg's status in the eyes of the media.
So, for a team that was originally ranked 15th in the league but whose strength has decreased instead of increasing, its position in the new season is obvious.
The media believes that Hamburg will be ranked third from the bottom at most and go to the relegation play-offs, but there is a high probability that it will be directly relegated, and the final ranking will be worse than Fürth and Dusseldorf!
Hamburg faced Nuremberg in the first round, which was also considered to be the most severe test for Pan Yi.
If we lose at home, Pan Yi's coaching position is likely to be shaken.
The media's predictions for this game are also one-sided, with everyone optimistic about Nuremberg.
They are considered to be ranked 9th or 10th in the Bundesliga in the new season, and are obviously higher than Hamburg in terms of strength.
In addition, Nuremberg has another good thing: they have just added a new assistant coach named Rahman to their team.
It was the former Hamburg coach who was fired by Pan Yi!
Due to his familiarity with the Hamburg team, this gives Nuremberg an even greater guarantee in preparing for the game.
In an interview before the game, Rahman was also a black man against Pan Yi and the Hamburg management.
"I feel very honored to be able to join Nuremberg."
"Wiesinger was a famous player in Nuremberg when he was a player. Now he is also a very good coach. I can learn a lot from him. More importantly, he is wholeheartedly thinking about Nuremberg. Unlike the head coach of Hamburg, he is simply
It’s just nonsense!”
"Yes, I don't regret leaving Hamburg. I just found out that Pan Yi was an incompetent coach who only deceived people, so I took the initiative to resign. My professional attitude made it impossible for me to tolerate working under such a head coach."

"The top management of Hamburg? They just took a fancy to Pan Yi's identity as a Dragon Country man, and wanted to use this to attract the attention of Dragon Country fans and make corresponding investments. The Asian players they introduced also had the same purpose."
Rahman said it as if he couldn't stand the current situation in Hamburg and resigned on his own initiative.
Previously, Chairman Yachov tried to save him face by claiming that Rahman resigned on his own initiative instead of being fired. However, he was bitten back and became a "Hamburg executive" who was messing around.
A reporter asked: "Pan Yi performed very well in AC Milan last season. Everyone said that Milan was able to win the Triple Crown because of his great contribution. What do you think?"
Rahman smiled disdainfully:
"It's all just hype. I suspect that this guy from the Dragon Kingdom has bought a lot of media to build momentum for him. The purpose is to fool some idiot chairman into asking him to be the head coach, and then earn more salary."
"Milan's success is certainly the result of coach Allegri. How could it be the turn of an assistant coach? It's a joke."
"You mean those young players that Pan Yi introduced? That's because Milan's scouting system is very powerful. Pan Yi just happened to pick a few good prospects among them."
"If he coaches Hamburg independently this season, he will show his fox's tail. It's a pity that my old club Hamburg will be relegated due to his cruelty."
"Of course, I hope that Hamburg's senior management can correct their mistakes, kick Pan Yi out of the team as a rookie and find another talent. Maybe there is a way out."
"If Hamburg asks me to be the head coach? Haha, of course it is my duty to save Hamburg from fire and water!..."
Pan Yi saw the interview news in the chairman's office and couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Chairman, now you know why I want him to get out, right? This kind of villain is a disaster if he stays in the team, and you are too
Give him face."
Yahov sighed: "Then are you sure about this game? If you can win, of course it is the best counterattack, but if you lose..."
Pan Yi waved his hand: "Of course we will win. Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Pan Yi has naturally discussed with the chairman the basic strategic direction of giving up the German Cup and focusing on the league this season.
Pan Yi and Yahov analyzed the reasons, pros and cons very clearly, and Mr. Chairman also understands them very well.
He also understands that Hamburg's previous performance in the German Cup is not the team's true strength.
This defeat can even be regarded as a smoke bomb, causing opponents to lose their judgment on Hamburg and thereby profit from it.
Look at Rahman’s disdain for Hamburg during the interview. Isn’t that the best proof?
However, after all, the stadium is like a battlefield, and the situation is always changing rapidly. If Pan Yi really loses, as Chairman Yahov, who has always supported Pan Yi, the pressure will be infinite.
"Don't worry!" Pan Yi patted Yahov on the shoulder, "I really don't take this kind of small role seriously..."
