Gunter Netzer insists Bundesliga will be decided between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund
Former Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Gunter Netzer has insisted that this year’s Bundesliga title will be decided between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, ruling out the likes of Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke 04. He added
that Die Bayern have been busy in the transfer market this summer and have spent heavily which makes them the absolute favourites.
Borussia Dortmund will defend the Bundesliga title this summer after a surprising win last term. The club sold star player http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 to Real Madrid and have signed Ilkay Gundogan as a potential replacement.
Bayern have acquired http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424, Jerome Boateng and Rafinha to strengthen the defence.
Netzer stated that it will be a two horse race in the Bundesliga this year between Bayern and Die Borussen. He insisted that Dortmund have a great coach and are not under any pressure considering their pre-season performances.
“I think that Borussia Dortmund will be Bayern Munich's only serious rivals for the title. The pressure of defending their title doesn't seem to affect them. The players have only become stronger and the experience of last year
is a great advantage,” he was quoted as saying.
However, the former West http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international tipped Bayern to win the title this summer. He stated that the club will be looking to make a strong comeback after a string of poor performances last term.
The 66-year old added that Bayern’s weak link was their defence in the last season and added that Jupp Heynckes has been able to strengthen the back-line which will make them a very strong side. He insisted that the transfer activity
and the hiring of a brilliant coach has made the Bavarians a team to look forward to in the future.
“Nevertheless, Bayern are my absolute title favourites. Their superb summer signings only illustrate their will to regain the title. Their back-line used to be the weakest link, but they have really strengthened at the back,” he
concluded.
The Bundesliga season starts this week as Dortmund play Hamburg whereas Jupp Heynckes will start his regime against Borussia Monchengladbach.
