Many fans actually have serious misunderstandings about the Bundesliga, thinking that the Bundesliga is a one-man show for Bayern.
This is of course not wrong. Bayern is indeed the only one in the Bundesliga, but it does not mean that other Bundesliga teams are not competitive. On the contrary, as long as Bayern relaxes a little bit, it will be immediately defeated by other Bundesliga teams.
Down.
The Bundesliga's competition system gives them a natural advantage that other leagues do not have when competing in the Champions League.
If you carefully compare the competition formats of the four major European leagues, it is not difficult to find that the Bundesliga and the Premier League start the earliest, starting on August 10, while La Liga and Serie A will not start until the end of August.
However, looking at the time of the final game, the Premier League ends the earliest, on May 10th. The Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga are all one week later than the Premier League, on May 17th and 18th.
Then the interesting thing comes. As we all know, the Bundesliga has only eighteen teams and only thirty-four rounds.
In other words, a Bundesliga season is longer than the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga in terms of time span, but they have fewer games, four fewer games, so the pressure of the game is naturally lighter, and the players
The burden is also lighter.
In addition, the Bundesliga has a very obvious advantage, which is the long winter break.
From the map, Germany spans quite a long distance from north to south. It borders Denmark and other Nordic countries in the north. When the severe winter comes and the twelfth lunar month comes, the sky is covered with snow, making it difficult to hold football matches. Therefore, the Bundesliga usually lasts for about one and a half months in late December and January.
winter break period.
Of course, the Bundesliga teams will still conduct training camps and warm-up matches during this period, but the players will not have too much competition pressure. For the second half, they will be more prepared and in better condition.
And this is still very advantageous for Bundesliga teams competing in the Champions League.
Especially for the Premier League, when the Bundesliga has a long winter break, the Premier League has the most intensive Christmas schedule in the entire season. Under the circumstances, the Premier League is really suffering in terms of schedule.
It can be said that the Bundesliga has a unique advantage in terms of schedule and competition system.

Bayern's first match of the new season is the first round of the German Cup.
The opponent is Burghausen on the border between Germany and Austria.
This is a fourth-tier league team. Although it is an away game, Bayern does not take them seriously.
Heynckes refrigerated players such as Sudon, Mascherano, Modric, Pepe, Marcelo and Robben, allowing them to stay in Munich and focus on preparing for the weekend's first round of the Bundesliga against newly promoted Rostock.
.
Ribery, Klose, Schweinsteiger and other players all went away to challenge Burghausen.
Logically speaking, this should be a sure-win match, as the gap in strength between the two sides is too great.
But no one expected that Bayern would encounter a tenacious sniper attack from Burghausen in the away game.
After the score was 0-0 in the first half, Burghausen first used a free kick to score Bayern's goal in the second half. Demichelis failed to keep an eye on his opponent when defending, resulting in a conceding goal.
Bayern launched a fierce attack, but it was not until the end of the game that Ribery took a corner kick and assisted Klose to score a header and equalize the score.
After that, the two sides entered overtime and then a penalty shootout.
In the first five rounds of penalty shootouts, the two sides battled to a 3-3 tie. Demichelis also missed a penalty kick. Fortunately, Kahn saved two consecutive penalty kicks, saving Bayern Munich and allowing the Bundesliga class leader to rely on
Scored a penalty kick and defeated the opponent in a thrilling away game.
In the entire 120 minutes of the game, Bayern took 52 shots on the road and only scored one goal.
…
After the German Cup was played, the entire German football world was in an uproar.
Bayern, which had just spent huge sums of money to reorganize in the summer transfer market, almost made its debut in the new season and suffered a huge setback against a fourth-tier league team. This shocked the German media and fans.
The biggest upset in the first round of the German Cup was Leverkusen's 0-1 away defeat to St. Pauli, but the problem is that St. Pauli is at least a newly promoted team from the Bundesliga 2, and its strength is still good.
But Bayern's opponent, Burghausen, is a fourth-level team. Even if Bayern plays with half the main force, it almost capsizes in the gutter. Is it justified?
When Heynckes was interviewed by the media, he was not satisfied with the team's debut. He believed that the team created enough scoring opportunities, but the efficiency was still a little behind.
"This may be related to the fact that the players have just gone through summer training and have not yet fully found their game state."
But such rhetoric is unsatisfactory.
Bild wrote an article and pointed out that the most serious problem of Bayern's debut was that they only scored one goal after more than fifty shots. This is absolutely inappropriate and cannot be covered up by poor condition.
"If Bayern wants to start the new season with such a performance, I'm afraid the Bundesliga competitors will be extremely happy."
Bayern chairman Beckenbauer also pointed out in a column that Bayern players were too trusting, too relaxed and did not pay enough attention to their opponents, which almost caused Bayern's debut to be ruined.
The football emperor reminded Bayern's players, "The opponents in the Bundesliga will be countless times more powerful than Burghausen!"

…………
On the afternoon of August 11, Allianz Arena in Munich.
Except for the mobile seats that must be reserved, the entire Allianz Arena was packed.
Seventy thousand Bayern fans gathered at the Allianz Arena to cheer for the team's first league game of the new season.
But everyone's heart is full of anxiety, especially when the team struggled to play a fourth-tier league away game three days ago, which made Bayern fans feel even more uneasy.
Will it be the same when playing Rostock today?
The live broadcast was announcing the lineups of the two teams, and the players from the two teams entered the stadium one after another.
Bayern's goalkeeper is captain Kahn, and the defense is Lahm, Lucio, Pepe and Marcelo. Sagnol has not recovered from a serious injury, Lahm has been adjusted to the right, and Brazilian teenager Marcelo plays on the left.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This player is strong offensively and weak defensively, and defense is a big problem. Fortunately, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mascherano are in the deep midfield.
Another midfielder is Modric.
Although Bayern uses a 4-2-3 formation, in fact, the players' positions during the game are irregular.
The frontcourt trident, Ribery, Sudong and Robben, at the same time.
Especially when Su Dong entered the field, 70,000 Bayern fans shouted his name in unison, showing their pursuit of Su Dong.
"Last season, Su Dong won three Golden Boots in La Liga, Bundesliga and the Champions League by himself. He was also the winner of the European Golden Boot, showing his demeanor as the number one player in world football."
"We hope that in the new season, he can continue his outstanding performance from last season, continue to attack the city for Bayern, and continue to bring us more exciting goals."
Following the call of the live broadcast commentator, the Bayern fans at the scene shouted Su Dong's name in unison.
There was longing in their shouts.
But this time, Su Dong did not keep them waiting too long.
…
After the game started, Bayern firmly controlled the situation and the ball on the field, and frequently used force on the offensive end.
Ribery received a lot of criticism after playing against Burghausen in the last game. Although he assisted Klose to score, he also wasted a lot of opportunities.
In that game, almost every Bayern player was criticized by the media and fans, including Klose.
In this game, Ribery was very active from the beginning, creating threats repeatedly, but he was still a little short of a goal.
Until the fourteenth minute, after receiving a pass from Marcelo, Ribery dribbled the ball diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area and quickly crossed to the center.
Su Dong rushed over, used his body to squeeze away the central defender who was guarding him, took the lead and took a shot, sending the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Bayern's first league goal of the new season!"
"Only fourteen minutes into the game, a goal came from Su Dong."
"This was an opportunity created by Ribery who dribbled the ball to the left rib of the penalty area and passed it across to the center. Sudong decisively seized the opportunity and calmly scored with a shot, opening the scoring for Bayern."
"One to zero!"
After Su Dong scored, he immediately rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.
Franck Ribery and other teammates followed closely behind to celebrate Su Dong's goal.
This is also Bayern's first league goal of the new season.
…
After Su Dong opened the scoring, Bayern began to get better and played more and more smoothly.
Ribery was still very active, allowing Rostock to focus his defense on his right side, which was Bayern's left side, with the focus being on freezing Ribery.
But in this way, Robben also got a chance to kick, but he was saved by the goalkeeper.
Marcelo and Bastian Schweinsteiger also stepped in and got kicking opportunities, but failed to score.
Until the 28th minute, Ribery got the ball in the left rib area in the 30-meter area, and continued to dribble forward, attracting Rostock's defensive players, and sent a pass behind him.
Su Dong quickly crossed the left side of the penalty area and caught up with Ribery's through ball on the left side of the small penalty area. He first made a fake move and then shot a low shot with his left foot. The ball went from goalkeeper Vicht.
It passed through the crotch and rolled directly into the goal behind him.
Two to zero!
"Su Dong scored another victory! Scored twice!"
Following the announcement from the Allianz Arena, all 70,000 Bayern fans rushed out of their seats crazily, shouting Su Dong's name at the top of their lungs.
Su Dong also rushed to the sideline again, first waved his fist excitedly at the fans, then turned around and directly picked up Ribery who was assisting.
He believes that next, the defenders of the Bundesliga will find that it is really painful for them to face Bayern's trident.
One-on-one, they can't defend it, but if two or even three people double-team, flaws will be exposed elsewhere.
Therefore, their only option is to shrink their defense and adopt an iron barrel formation.
But with such a high point as Su Dong, even if the iron barrel array is set up, it may not be able to exert its effect.
So, they are in trouble!
When they encounter Bayern, they don't know how to defend!
