The German Bundesliga has become one of most popular leagues in Europe and the competition has enjoyed a hugely successful last two years. The reason being that it is arguably one of the most competitive leagues in Europe; far
more exciting than the competitions in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
The English Premier League has a winner from the so called top four whereas the Spanish La Liga has not had a winner apart from Real Madrid and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 since 2004. Bundesliga has also climbed the UEFA co-efficient rankings in
the last two years to move ahead of the Italian Serie A, and hence secure a fourth spot for the UEFA Champions League.
The competition has some extremely competitive encounters and a lot of goals are scored. Last time, it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 who won the Golden Boot for him magnificent performances for Schalke.
The Dutchman scored a staggering 29 league goals and was way ahead of the likes of Mario Gomez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 in the Golden Boot race. Bettor.com looks at the possible contenders for the Bundesliga Golden Boot for the next
season:
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international will be defending his accolade when he enters the next season. The former Real Madrid forward finally found his footing last term as he put in some sensational displays, scoring some brilliant goals.
It must have been a huge sigh of relief for the player, who had a troubled maiden season with Die Knappen.
The player always remains a threat and his movement in the opposition’s box is sensational at times. Schalke finished third in the league last term and qualified for the UEFA Champions League group stage and the striker had a major
contribution in that feat.
Many doubt that the player may not be able to emulate his performances from last season because of the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 and the club’s minimal activity in the summer transfer window, but Schalke still have a quality line-up to
challenge for a top four place. Huntelaar has shown in the previous season that he is capable of scoring goals against any opposition and the attacker has proved his mettle in the Bundesliga.
Mario Gomez
Probably the most consistent and the most underrated striker in the Bundesliga, Gomez had another sensational season last term as he scored 26 times for his side. The striker found the net consistently throughout the course of
the season and was again one of the most feared attackers in the German league.
The German international carried on with his terrific form in Europe as well and found the net 13 times in the 14 games played. The attacker played a vital role in the club’s journey to the final of the UEFA Champions League final,
where they eventually lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
Gomez bettered his tally of 39 goals set in the 2010-11 season with 41 strikes in the previous campaign and will certainly be amongst the top contenders for the Golden Boot next season.
However, the player will have to perform consistently as Bayern have acquired the likes of Mario Mandzukic and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Claudio-Pizarro-c9324 to increase the competition for places. Gomez will be the guaranteed starter at the start of the campaign,
but a few unimpressive performances could relegate him to the bench.
