literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see myself as the kids find strength to grow grow. my only objective is to share with a fine beautiful. she does these books on youtube. get your thinking cap some because this episode of kick off life is a loaded with. why do i bother hugh with all these statistics 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 family puti full game is at stake results are predictable matches are boring and competition is dying. a little come along to spend my money to see. the students. our reporter thomas lemma 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 biomes nicholas sula and dortmund defender lucas p. shock all this in a much more kick off life. by a start to the season with a clear objective within the bundesliga title and how's that old saying go again often swims games defense wins championships. munich's defense is acted by this man

nicholas sousa. you know you want every kid dreams of being a champion i've had that incredible experience twice and want to. 3rd time no time to celebrate to die on the focus is straight on to the next title the 24 year old carries an imposing size on the fish. 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 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 teammates and the level of training. soulas found a home in the fire and back line 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. he made 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 and 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 lukas home and is now lined up in the back alongside zula a monster apart from school and help set up its 1st ever goal for buyer. but a more selfish these qualities are just what by and need to clinch their 8th straight

title and they'll have to be at their best as the competition will be stiff this season. i think it's going to be a very tight race between us and dortmund maybe leipsic to 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'll be great for its viewers. is one of the league's top young defenders because if you check it's also a defensive stalwart but has quite a few more seasons under his belt we chat with george mitchell living legend. let's jump back to match days the 1st big surprise of the season with the title

challengers dortmund losing 31 to newly promoted earlier. maybe you can spin shaq can tell us how such a thing could possibly have. you 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 are. that if. he can put things in their place is 34 years old in his 10th season in black and yellow you can call him mr reliable. i do what i'm there for out on the pitch that's all i can say really. sure everybody loses from time to time but coughing up 5 goals and 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 says. certainly proved you can help during games or count paychecks but 6 are gets 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. despond is an obvious 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 saugus say more than once that on giving more interviews now because i'm angling for

a contract extension. where lucky we got to chat with pete scheck. it's hard to imagine dortmund without it. as. defense goals are reported thomas is defending something big for the sport itself he lets us know how a bit more famous could save football. a few weeks ago i stumbled upon some statistics from the c.i.s. football observatory they focused on the results of the champions league group stage since its introduction in 2003 fact one the teams at the top of the groups have progressively are more points and significantly improved their goal what 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 mba let's say maybe york or once has become wider and wider in recent years this nero's a trend in the real world with real. americans own more than the bottom 50 percent of the american population and not must get 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 predicted 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 disclosure. this

why do i bother him with all 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 haul in premier league history the largest was 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 the city in the last 2 years king peppers madama and king x.

ever was. far it's a least syria not only have few winters won the title atheist in a row they've also earned at least 75 percent of the points in every season since 2030. only 2 other teams had managed that feat since the 3 point who was introduced. by a new nick who won 7 league titles in a row also took more than 75 percent of all possible point in each of those 7 years. went by and won their 1st woman speaker championship in 1969 they've backed only 67.7 percent of the possible points overall in the big 5 links the title were nuts have come 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 beats goliath when something really unpredictable happens those moments that make us love this spot 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 really. let's look at my domestic league for example to put its league up not only have one does he got clubs barely played a role in international competitions recently not only have by and 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 attack not better to let the opponents play and focus on pressing. the all the families spend my money to see. these students when german clubs logged on with berlin last year and then shag a coach to mimic what it is called did some analysis before the match and found that always won when they had less ball position than the opponent to discuss a plan of boyd possessing the ball and sadly. with less ball possession child composed it is 0 no home victory and rose to 2nd in the table a horrible game and i'm shocked if. the bundesliga is a very good example of what might happen when one or 2 clubs to dominate the league

and the others just react it's not only about competition and balance the hope will be unity of this family beautiful game is at stake how could it come to this. 50 years ago the financial situation at the clubs respect pretty much the saying some clubs have big response or a big stadium which meant more spectators and more income from ticket sales. 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 make 65400000 euros 40000000 more than the little 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 to get by and manchester united are getting extra money things to 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. for taking part a e k f unscarred 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 transversed 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 then say

a dutch club audience that means that only from selling their kids they can buy one get with bayer more than the dutch champions each and every year. and that's only the kids supply of money if you put together all the other sponsors national and international t.v. money and club could fissions free and madrid could buy a whole team of superstars every year how does that help competition. with this system it's completely impossible for smaller clubs to close the gap on the top clubs even have a club of champions league season to remember and make it to the semifinals it's going to be an exception and we're 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 the question let's have

a look at the united states obviously not a country famous for market regulation or 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 drive it's just 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 of 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 p. could have ended up in outspoken knowledge. so what else could save european football from the future of boredom. how about playoff games in national championships you know with the top 4 clubs playing and semifinals and then the fine are at least the end of the season wouldn't be as boring as it has been in the last 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 their part of the season there are enough other find out in the domestic cups the champions league it's such a state so many decisive gates. well i think let's try it it's working in the us and a true champion must be able to beat every competitor

a lot about salary caps every team has a certain maximum amount of money which they can spend on player 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. image and barcelona heading to said 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 legal premier league team should also earn the same amount as. you 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 cars 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 on uniform motion in a straight line unless an external force acts upon it so who can make this change happen. i. it's ass we're the fans we're the jersey fires and the paying for the games these are my teachers union please. maybe we can save football as we know and love it.

now that we know how to save football let's get back to things on the pitch live occlusion striker kevin fallen trees on fire what's his secret. labor couzens top striker doesn't waste time when it comes to getting to the next. from jamie foxx. call it to assist in his 1st 3 but in this league a match is not a bad start for can fall and. the. he's simply kept up his bristling form from the end of last season he's doing what he does best to me it's always been about not helping i think scoring goals that's laying them on. the ball and

put away 14 goals last season and play provider for another 12 this made him live a close and 2nd best score and helped secure them at champions the 1st. place clubhouse started the season strong as well holland seem satisfied with his team's play so far. to the right for starters. what does he expect from his side this season. we want to do well in the d.f.t. cup we want to be a bit more consistent than last season and make the champions league again. in match day 2 at just sold off and put his stamp on the match. hole left flank probably still have nightmares about and he couldn't be stopped and with a bit of pressure on helped cause an own goal all in the 1st 6 minutes quickly moving the ball forward that straight out of his coach peter bush's playbook his

game plan has taken root in live acoustic even if they need to tighten up on different. cuts he said people often see what we want to play attacking football win games and entertain the fans that's the basic philosophy of his disposition. i . think his style of play is a good fit for leverkusen 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 because we sat down with light 6 new coach have high expectations supply he already looks set to deliver enjoy and see you next week on takeoff like. something's brewing in life to big business leaders rising star coach has taken command of one of the most ambitious clubs in the. union not this man in leipzig a combination that's already led to plenty of fireworks. i think that. his 1st matches have been a clear statement to the competition 3 matches 3 with us. is it all to you to simply. 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's success or take things up a step or 2 steps years ago. i was months experienced a rapid rise to the top of the leeks coaching contract at $28.00 he became the youngest coach in league history at hockenheim only dortmund in binary collected more point. and haim in his time but he doesn't dwell numbers are not just money it's all about moving forward let's say i'm off and i'm 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 for a very attractive football but if you didn't get us the results we were looking for because the balance between defense and attack was always right it was pretty much 7030 in favor of attacking players 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. you know this one has grown into the face of a new generation of coaches looking to mix things up in the bundesliga. feed annoyed you know 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 as clear cut as last season with all these changes throughout the league. not those none is the only coach to win his 3 opening matches this season there's a reason why you're seen as a potential championship contender. with the resources leipzig have it's likely only a matter of time until they've left the title could it be this season that their focus off were 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 it dormant or that i'm liverpool 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 and that's the aim of much of this is my this goal would seem. now 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 big youngest championship coaching . history. i'm going.
