would think the 1st thing. he discovered. the making. of the famous naturalist and explorer. to celebrate clicks on the from books from 250. working on the for each of discovery. expedition boy on to. get your thinking cap some because this episode of kick off life is loaded with now

. why do i bother you with all these. good question because these statistics help prove the sport we love is broken due to the ever widening gap between big and small clubs. of this for money and hugely full gain is at stake results are predictable matches are boring and competition is dying. a little come along to spend my money to see. these teams. our reporter thomas lemon is in agreement he tells us what's gone wrong in football and what must be done so we can once again say i still enjoy the games on the pitch but 1st we're going to check in with 2 of our favorite players by owns nicholas zuma and dortmund offended bukowski shock all this and much more kick off life.

prior to start of the season with a clear objective when the bundesliga title and how's that old saying go again often swims games defense wins championships. munich's defense is anchored by this match nicklaus zula. every kid dreams of being a champion i've had that incredible experience twice and wanted a 3rd time no time to celebrate a tie on the focus is straight on to the next title the 24 year old carries an imposing size on the pish but he surprisingly quick how did he fit in when he 1st arrived at by a. concert you don't want to arrive at byron i'm low on confidence it's special here and you have to believe in yourself. i think i've made a lot of progress and i've really benefited from my team mates and the level of

training which. shoeless found a home in the fire and back like he's got plenty of power but has a more delicate touch than you'd expect he helps launch and build the attack from the back. to manage his bundesliga debut for hoffenheim in 2030 he's been dedicated to the sport from a young age. that's when you leave home at 14 for those moments you dreamed of as a child. zillah's dream has become a reality as he suits up for the german national team at the bundesliga champions who got even better in the off season. resign 2 world champions that definitely have the talent to play for biron world cup winners benyamin puppet and lucas hernandez now lined up in the back alongside zula. a monster passed from

sudha help setup its 1st ever golf ball by. watching a more selfish. these qualities are just one by a need to clinch their 8th straight title and they'll have to be at their best as the competition will be stiff this season. this is i think it's going to be a very tight race between us and dortmund maybe leipsic 2 they're a great team it should be exciting we'd happily march right through to the title but that's not so easy in the bundesliga. it won't be easy for him but it will be great for our viewers. zillo is one of the league's top young defenders if you can speak check it's also a defensive stalwart but has quite a few more seasons under his belt we chat with dormancy living legend. i.

let's jump back to match days the 1st big surprise of the season with the title challengers dortmund losing 31 to newly promoted on your own earlier. in the display. maybe lucas pincheck can tell us how such a thing could possibly happen if. it was done that we knew would give it everything i think he liked a bit of focus in the 2nd half and just weren't able to take our chances. that. he can put things in their place is 34 years old and in his 10th season in black and yellow you can call him mr reliable. i do what i'm there for out on the p. . that's all i can say really. sure everybody

loses from time to time but coughing up 5 goals in 3 matches how does he explain that. it's not how we planned it if you start out saying you're aiming for the very top you must be ready to fight as well as play football you need to focus to win these games. he certainly proved he can help during games around peace jack like to talk it's to aim for. one last thing we couldn't let go he shakes contract runs out after this season could this be as last year in dortmund. just fans and i mean i wouldn't say at this stage it's definitely our last season here i'd be happy to play. but i'd rather not

talk about that at the moment. i've already heard mr song say more than once that i'm giving more interviews now because i'm angling for a contract extension. we're lucky we got to chat with he shared that. it's hard to imagine dortmund without it . as. defense goes all reported thomas lemma is defending something big for the sport itself he lets us know how a bit more fairness could save football. a few weeks ago i stumbled upon some statistics from the c.i.s. football supper tree they focused on the results of the champions league group stage since its introduction in 2000. 3 effect one the teams at the top of the

groups have progressively earned more points and significantly improved their go a difference. the same analysis for teams at the bottom of the groups confirms an opposite trend that means that the gap between the top teams ember that same mediocre ones has become wider and wider in recent years this mirrors a trend in the real world where 3 americans own more than the bottom 50 percent of the american population and numbers. but even worse the football games during the group stage become more and more predictable every year champions league games and more and more often the way the bookies predict that the correlation between prediction and result has grown stronger and if a match has a clear favorite the probability that this favorite wins has increased to over 80

percent we all love to talk about football but doesn't it take away the fun when games nearly always and as expected because. this is why do i bother him with all of these statistics it shows that the gap between the top clubs and the smaller clubs is getting bigger the competition in football is out of balance. this is also true on the national level let's have a look at the champions of the big 5 leagues over the last 20 years and compare the number of points their earned with the maximum points possible in the premier league for example a season is $38.00 games in each game a club can grab 3 points for a season total of $114.00 the last champions manchester city pocketed $98.00 points that's 86 percent of the maximum possible and the 2nd largest hole in premier league history the lads. just the year before when men city became champions with

100 points. that means no other team has ever done in major the premier league mentions a city in the last 2 years pebble is ma dominant and king and it ever was. are it's a least syria are not only a few winters won the title 8 years in a row they've also earned at least 75 percent of the points in every season since 2013 only 2 other teams had managed that feat since the 3 point who was introduced. by in munich who won 7 league titles in a row also took more than 75 percent of all possible points in each of those 7 years. went by and won their 1st win streak of championship in 1969 they've backed only 67.7 percent of the possible points overall in the big 5 leaks the title

were nuts have gone from earning an average of 69.9 percent of the maximum possible points at the beginning of the millennium to 80.5 percent in the last 5 years. so the imbalance between the champions and the rest of the clubs playing in these leaks has gotten bigger and bigger are the times when a small team beats a big team when david pietz go liath when something really unpredictable happens those moments that make us love the sport so much a getting rarer and rarer you might think now ok you're talking about facts and figures and something that happened over the last decades i still enjoy the games on the pitch. then let me ask you do you realize. let's look at my domestic league for example to put its league not only have one does he got clubs barely played a role in international competitions recently not only have become champions 7

times in a row not only did they achieve that without spending a single euro a new players before the last season. the game of football itself has become more boring the smaller clubs are awarding possessing the ball and waiting for the favorites to make mistakes no risky passes forward no power dribbling no or technology better to let the opponents play and focus on pressing. kamel to spend my money to see. distance when german clubs shargel logged on with berlin last year and then she could coach too many quoted as analysis before the match and found that brilliant always won when they had less ball position than the opponent to discuss a plan boyd says in the board and sadly worked with a less board position cheika posted as 0 no home victory and rose to 2nd in the

table horrible game and i'm a shark a fan. the bundesliga is a very good example of what might happen when one or 2 clubs dominate the week and the others just react it's not only about competition and balance the hope will be unity of this form of the beautiful game is at stake how could it come to this. 50 years ago the financial situation at the clubs rasputin much the sing some clubs said weaker sponsor asked for a bigger stadium which meant more spectators and more income from tickets. but over the years the gap between rich and poor clubs has become wider and wider 1st because of the domestic t.v. money which favors the clubs already at the top right now by a new nick makes 65400000 euros 40000000 more than that for tonight dysart off.

in the premier league to liverpool get nearly 3 times as much t.v. cash as what for. international t.v. money has drastically accelerated that development and since last year top european clubs like they are not doing it by and manchester united's are getting extra money things for the champions league so-called club co-efficients those clubs get money from that pool even if they are not successful real madrid got 35500000 euros. just for taking part a e k f and scot only 1100000000 from the same pool so the big clubs make millions just for having big names and being successful in the past. and the number of insane transfers continues to grow.

and we haven't even talked about sponsor money yet just one example margaret pull in 133000000 a year from could supply alone over 120000000 more than say a dutch club audience that means that only from selling their kids they can buy one care with bayern more than the dutch champions each and every year. and that's only the kids' supply of money and if you put together all the other sponsors national and international t.v. money and club could fissions rian madrid could buy a home or team of superstars every year how does that help competition why. with this system it's completely impossible for smaller clubs to close the gap on the top clubs even have a club i.x. have a champions league season to remember and make it to the semifinals it's going to be an exception and will not eliminate the imbalance. so what can we do to

safe football what can we do to close the gap. do think they deserve to make question let's have a look at the united states. obviously not a country famous for market regulation of equal distribution of wealth but they know how to make a shill out of their spots and they know the meaning of competition the national football league for example has the draft scouts compile lists of the biggest college talent and. every spring the weakest teams from the previous season are the 1st to sign the biggest hellens this system prevents rich teams from buying all the best players. and at least in terms of competition the system works in the last 20 years 14 different teams have won the super bowl and also in american basketball and baseball no team can dominate a sport for decades by

a munich due in germany but could a draft system work in europe i suppose it's not a good idea football has become too global to regulate the market this way imagine with a draft and pete could have ended up in iraq spoke knowledge. so what else could save european football from the future of border. how about playoff games in national championships you know with the top 4 clubs playing and semifinals and then a final at least the end of the season wouldn't be as boring as it has been in the last 2 years but many players coaches and managers wouldn't vote for this they'd say if you have a fantastic season 434-3638 days but then get knocked out in one single game it's unfair what's more during that part of the season there are enough of the finals in the domestic cups the champions league at such

a stage so many decisive games. well i think let's try it it's working in the us and a true champion must be able to beat every competitor out about salary caps every team has a certain maximum amount of money which they can spend on players' salaries once again a successful recipe from us in the national football league every team is allowed to spend a maximum of $188200000.00 on salaries. imagine barcelona having to set messi in order to afford name. and yes change the way t.v. money gets distributed in all competitions every team playing in the champions league should get the same amount of money for every win or draw they could get a bonus and every point in this league a premier league team should also earn the same amount. doing if i and the national

associations would be well advised to level the playing field in order to safe their sport and their cash flow impossible formula one racing introduced technical reforms all the time to slow down the fastest car and in basketball the n b a banned the dunk in 167 because kareem abdul-jabbar was getting too good at it. newton's 1st law of motion says an object will remain at rest only uniform motion in a straight line unless an external force acts upon it so who can make this change. my. it's us we are the fans we are the jersey fires and paying for the game these are my ideas. please. if maybe we can save football as we know.

now that we know how to say football let's get back to things on the pitch liverpool isn't striker kevin fallen trees on fire what's his secret. labor couzens top striker doesn't twice time when it comes to getting to the next. 75. call and to assist in his 1st 3 buddhist league of matches not a bad start for canyon fall and. he simply kept up his

bristling form from the end of last season he's doing what he does best for me it's always been a bad helping i think scoring goals laying them on. the ball and put away 14 goals last season and played provided for another 12 this made him live a 2nd best score and helped secure them a champions league berth. his club house started the season strong as well holland seem satisfied with his team's play so far. it's all right for starters. what does he expect from his side this season. we want to do well in the d.s.p. cup we want to be a bit more consistent than last season and make the champions league again. in match day 2 at doff put his stamp on the match. hole left flank probably still have nightmares about it he couldn't be stopped and with

a bit of pressure on help close an own goal all in the 1st 6 minutes quickly moving the ball forward that straight out of his coach peter bushes playbook his game plan has taken root in live acoustic even if they need to tighten up on defense. cuts. of his he says but we want to play attacking football win games and entertain the fans and that's the basic philosophy that says this p.c. is full from. i . would buy this style of play is a good fit for life because an attractive football intensive pressing and plenty of possession. so opponents struggle to get to grips with us. it's all help fall out reach and precedented to run

a full. up i. will finish things with you guys we sat down at like 6 new coach have high expectations supply the already looks set to deliver enjoy and see you next week on takeoff like. something's brewing in life it's a big business leaders rising star coach has taken command of one of the most ambitious clubs in the. union not this man and lives a combination that's already led to plenty of fireworks i think there's no. doubt that 2. his 1st matches had been a clear statement to the competition 3 matches 3 wins. is it all do

you tend not to influence. who's good to me it's not about replacing something or developing something from scratch but some planting what's already there with a few ideas to maintain the team success or take things up a step or 2. years ago. that was months experienced a rapid rise to the top of the league's coaching contract at $28.00 he became the youngest coach in week history at hockenheim only dortmund and by collected more. points in heart and home in his time but he doesn't well these numbers are not just money it's all about moving forward legs and oftentimes the whole structure of the hoffenheim squad last season was weighted strongly towards attack minded players. playing top 10 teams in the champions league that made it very attractive football but it didn't get us the results we were looking for because the balance between defense and attack wasn't always right it was pretty much 7030 in favor of

attacking players but if that was good for the fans if it was not so good for our results. the coach and his club have plenty in common they both stand for hunger flare and disruption. do you not this month has grown into the face of a new generation of coaches looking to mix things up in the d.c. . feeder noid clean a number of big clubs have new coaches like. a lot can happen i think it's going to be a long opening battle for the top and places not as clear cut as last season with all these changes throughout the league. now because none is the only coach doing his 3 opening matches this season there's a reason leipzig are seen as potential championship contenders with the resources leipzig it's likely only a matter of time until they've left the title could it be this season that my focus

off we never many but i'm sure we'll have a good season whether it'll be good enough to win a big title needed 3 years adornment so that i liverpool's 3 years it would be fine by all of us or even sooner for years would also be ok anyway it would be great to do it that's the much of this is might as well would seem. how this man was already coach of the year at 30 i'll be $32.00 in me 2020 and if it all goes according to plan he might also just be the youngest championship. history.
